Breastfeeding

An essential guide for those working in the perinatal field, offering concrete and updated support to mothers during the first 1,000 days of their child’s life. Based on the latest scientific evidence, this book highlights how appropriate neonatal nutrition is not only a key element for physical health but also for the psychological well-being of both mother and child.

The book goes beyond a purely technical approach, promoting an empathetic and constructive relationship between the breastfeeding mother, the newborn, and the partner. It equips healthcare professionals with the tools needed to create a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. Thus, it not only teaches the techniques and methods of breastfeeding but also addresses, in simple language, sensitive and often overlooked topics: supporting mothers who choose not to breastfeed, managing breast refusal by the newborn, the father’s role, sexuality, and the consequences of violence during pregnancy.
