The Breastfeeding Answer Book

母乳育児学習会などで少しずつ勉強をしたり、助産師雑誌やペリネイタルなどの
雑誌などでも新しいことを学べるのですが、この本の中には発表された研究の内容も載っていて、わからないことがあるとすべて答えが載っているといった印象です。
この本が日本語訳で出版されていないことがとても残念です。

This is the ultimate book for breastfeeding counsellors, health professionals and anyone else who works with breastfeeding mothers. It covers all aspects of breastfeeding management and support in detail, and this edition includes new information on position and latch, Dr Peter Hartmann's research on milk synthesis and the structure and function of the breast, and Dr Jack Newman's information on breast compression, much of which is still unknown to many doctors. Every chapter is thoroughly referenced. Covers the whole spectrum of breastfeeding from "what is normal" to challenging special circumstances.
The book can be used with confidence when helping mothers either in person or over the telephone, and information/references can be found quickly and easily. The CD-ROM is convenient where space is limited or you can't take the book with you on a home visit.(The book is large and quite heavy).
