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.
