Editorial Reviews
Book Description
With more than 700,000 copies in print-Europe's #1 breastfeeding book now appears in this new North American edition. In its 25th printing, Breastfeeding Naturally is so renowned in Europe that it is referred to simply as "the Green Book."
Breastfeeding Naturally covers the basics-why breastfeeding is worth the effort for you and your baby, what happens to your body in all the stages of breastfeeding, from preparing for the arrival of your baby to the end of the nursing relationship. Most importantly, it addresses the physical and emotional preparation for breastfeeding-including gaining confidence through positive thoughts, feeling secure through knowledge, and developing strength through motivation.
Breastfeeding Naturally stands ahead of other breastfeeding advice sources. It covers integrative and natural techniques such as: visualization, aromatherapy, Bach Flower Remedies, Middendorf Breathwork, and homeopathic remedies. It provides information on how to apply these innovative techniques to: increase milk production, ease breast tenderness, and lower anxiety.
Hannah Lothrop was introduced to breastfeeding at an enlightened Virginia hospital. When her family moved to Germany, she discovered mothers at the time were not supported in breastfeeding, and she herself had a more difficult time trying to breastfeed her second baby.
Her interest piqued, Hannah began interviewing other new mothers, learning what worked and what wasn't helpful in their breastfeeding experience, and researching the latest findings in the United States as well as Europe. As part of her research, Hannah has met with the Founding Mothers of La Leche League. She went on to start the breastfeeding support-group movement in Germany. Hannah is a member of ICEA, ASPO, SHARE, and ADEC. This practical book is the result of her passionate work on behalf of mothers and babies.
