About this item

Feeding a baby is a parent's earliest and most important task. Feeding is also essential to the parents' well-being; if a baby doesn't thrive or if the process is unsatisfying, parents can become anxious and distressed. Breastfeeding is the natural way to fee an infant, but many mothers choose to bottle feed. Whichever method mothers use, pressures and problems can make the experience less than happy. Successful Infant Feeding covers the technical side of feeding and how to manage it even in special and potentially difficult situations, such as with twins and multiples, preterm babies, and while traveling or working. As well as being advised on any safety and preparation issues with formula milk, parents will be coached in reading infant behavior and adjusting feeds accordingly.
