Text in Spanish. An ideal resource for childbirth educators, doctors, and nurses, as well as Spanish-speaking soon-to-be and new moms everywhere. Today, though breastfeeding is supported world-wide by UNESCO and most paediatricians and hospitals, many new mothers are still too easily persuaded to stop. This book, available for the first time in Spanish, pleasingly demonstrates that breastfeeding is the healthiest option for both baby and mom. With gorgeous photos and 20 terrific reasons why breastfeeding is best, this guide summarises current research about the disease, protective and nurturing substances that breast milk alone supplies. It also stresses the deep physical emotional bond that breastfeeding establishes between mother and child.
