Keeping Abreast

'Keeping Abreast' is a Science Minded Parent Guide full of essential information you need to know about breastfeeding. Available as a digital download, it will be delivered straight to your inbox immediately after purchase, so you can start reading right away.
 
Breastfeeding is a skill that must be learned by both mother and baby. While it is natural, it does not come naturally for many women—and that's okay!
 
We live in a culture where so much of breastfeeding is hidden (sometimes literally). It’s no surprise that many new mothers know so little about it. We rarely sit next to a feeding mother, keenly observing and asking questions about how it all works. Questions aren't asked around the dinner table.
 
This Parent Guide is an evidence-based, heavily researched, yet simply worded resource that takes you through the basics of breastfeeding, including:
The anatomy of your breasts
How milk is made
The magic of colostrum
The nutritional makeup of breastmilk
Different types of feeding, including cluster feeding and bottle feeding (even combination formula feeding!)
It also tackles common challenges like mastitis, reflux, and colic, and includes a list of trusted resources to help you find professional support when needed.
