comprehensive list of breastfeeding problems
Hi,
Does anyone have a good link to a comprehensive list of breastfeeding problems, and their symptoms? I am looking for something a pregnant woman might read to give her a quick overview, so she knows such things like tongue tie, or over active let down exist. So if they occur, they have a heads up in advance. Thanks, Leah --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

comprehensive list of breastfeeding problems
A friend gave me a copy of a book called "Bestfeading" that she found
really useful (she's nursing her third). There is a subtitle after "Bestfeading" but I don't have the book handy so I can't give it to you or tell you the authors (useful, eh!?). It's written by 3 women from different countries (US, Canada, and England, I think), so it includes insight into what moms in different places might hear from health care workers. Just last night, I reached the section where they talk about possible problems and solutions. So far, I'm impressed with the book, but YMMV.

Thanks, this is my favorite site http://bf.marie.org/ it has TONS of stuff on it and links and I found it useful with my first nursling (the one I had the most problems with) -- Christine if you want to feel rich, look at all the things you have that money can't buy Destiny sketches out our lifes blueprint with the pencil of our perceptions......

Info is so readily available on the web... and I think more women will be harmed than helped by such a thing. Think about "medical student syndrome..." Why give women the idea from the start that there are dozens of ways that breastfeeding can go wrong? YES, breastfeeding can go wrong, but I'd much rather say, "This is what it's supposed to be like. If you're having trouble, ask for help early and often!" The Nursing Mother's Companion is an excellent book for first providing good help, and providing a way to figure out what is going wrong. I'm not sure I'd want anything more superficial. Jenrose |
