About the Book :
Confident Breastfeeding as the title explicitly indicates is all about feeding the baby with its mother's milk and the important benefits that accrue to such a practice.
Breastfeeding is coming into vogue again and its benefits for babies in terms of health and nutrition cannot be over emphasized.
More importantly, breastfeeding by sheer physical contact, brings about a bonding between mother and child that lasts for a long time. Mother's milk in terms of nutrition is all that baby needs. Breastfeeding for its part is looked upon generally as a contraceptive device for the mother. Hence the benefit for both mother and child.
