An invaluable breast-feeding guide with clear and sensible advice for new mothers

While some mothers take to breast-feeding like a duck to water, others just can't seem to get the hang of it. Clare Byam-Cook agrees that breast is best but she stresses that the most important thing is that your baby is fed whether by the breast or bottle and you, the mother, should feel comfortable with whatever you choose to do. This comprehensive guide contains all the latest information on breast-feeding your baby successfully, including how to prepare for breast-feeding, what to expect in the early stages, and how to overcome common problems, such as sore nipples and mastitis. And if you can't breastfeed, the first rule is you shouldn't feel a failure. Clare Byam-Cook recognizes there are certain circumstances where bottle feeding is an advisable alternative. Rather than making you feel guilty if you prefer to, or have to, bottle feed, she is wholly supportive and sympathetic, providing you with all the practical advice and information you need."
