Synopsis

Did you know breastfeeding helps babies have less spit-up, diarrhea, and constipation and also lowers their risk of getting childhood cancer? Breastfeeding is so important that about 1.5 million babies die every year because they were not breastfed (according to UNICEF and the World Health Organization). And baby's not the only one who benefits from this liquid gold. A mother who breastfeeds decreases her risk of cancer, burns calories and increases bone strength. So breastfeeding is beneficial, but it's not as easy as some might think. A lot of women expect breastfeeding to be a piece of cake because it's natural, but there are plenty of potential breastfeeding problems and solutions that mothers need to be aware of. That's why Michele Leigh Carnesecca, an experienced lactation consultant and registered nurse who also teaches prenatal lactation classes in her community, decided to educate mothers on the not-so-simple art of breastfeeding with her new book: Mommy's Little Breastfeeding Book: 101 Tips Your Baby Wants You to Know about Nursing. “I realized that I was repeating the most important breastfeeding tips over and over again to nursing mothers,” said Michele, a mother of four. “So I decided to put all of them into a little book that wasn't too overwhelming to read. I'm confident these suggestions will help any mother make breastfeeding a better experience for herself and her baby.” While there are some great breastfeeding books out there, this one is easier to read and reference than any of its kind. Mommy's Little Breastfeeding Book is categorized into helpful sections of “Before the Hospital”, “At the Hospital” and “At Home”. It busts breastfeeding myths, makes product suggestions, and is written in a positive, even humorous tone while still providing candid and important information.

About the Author:

After working as a registered nurse and lactation consultant for more than 10 years, I realized that I was repeating the most important breastfeeding tips over and over again to nursing mothers. It dawned on me to put all of these breastfeeding tips in a book for moms to read over and over again. And this is how the book came to be. So for all of you moms out there who don't have time to read a big book about breastfeeding, this little book is for you! I am confident these suggestions will help you get off to the best start with breastfeeding. Your baby will thank you for it! Good luck and nurse on! Michele Leigh Carnesecca, RN, IBCLC (mother of 4 breastfed children)
