"Breastfeeding is natural, but it is not entirely instinctive for either mothers or babies. Now in its eighth edition, this classic handbook, completely updated with the most recent medical knowledge, is more comprehensive than ever, with "Survival Guides" for problem solving, extensive coverage of the latest breast pumps on the market, information about new digital products for monitoring your baby, and an up-to-date appendix on the safety of drugs and supplements during breastfeeding. 'The Nursing Mother's Companion' tells you everything you need to know about nursing your baby, from preparations during pregnancy all the way to weaning." -- Page 4 of cover.
