Practical nursing advice and solutions for today's new mothers.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that women breastfeed their babies for the first six months. Yet two-thirds of American women who start out breastfeeding (out of the 59 percent who attempt it) quit before the half-year mark. This savvy guide, by two nurses who between them have breastfed ten babies, gives new mums the know-how they need to go the distance.

From how to tell if your baby is getting enough milk to how to manage breastfeeding if you're a working mum, the book is packed with authoritative, reassuring guidance that shows how to solve common (and not so common) breastfeeding challenges and make sure babies enjoy the benefits of breast milk.

Breastfeeding For Dummies offers practical solutions and support for new mothers navigating the challenges of breastfeeding.
