Better breastfeeding: A doctor's guide to nursing without pain and frustration
By Linda D Dahl. 2022
The ultimate modern-day breastfeeding guide, with empowering, medically sound advice and solutions for the trickiest issues—from a pioneering ENT doctor…
and breastfeeding expert. In today&’s breastfeeding-friendly environment, the pressure to nurse is intense. We hear over and over that breastfeeding is natural, and every woman can do it. The truth is, the majority of moms need help breastfeeding, but they&’re forced to sift through varying viewpoints from a dizzying host of sources instead of being able to turn to a doctor for advice. And when breastfeeding doesn&’t work, they&’re the ones getting blamed for failure. In Better Breastfeeding , you will find information, not opinions: science-backed facts to help you make informed decisions, without feeling ashamed or bullied. Dr. Linda Dahl presents a new paradigm for breastfeeding based on diagnosing and treating mothers and babies using anatomy and physiology, offering a comprehensive overview of how breastfeeding works, why it fails, and what to do about it. Dr. Dahl takes you through the basics of breastfeeding in a week-by-week guide and explores solutions for little-understood difficulties like gape restriction and tongue tie, nipple and breast pain, issues with milk supply, or abnormal nursing behaviors. Better Breastfeeding is the no-holds-barred primer that every mom needs before and during her breastfeeding journey so she can advocate for herself and her baby.  Interconnected: embracing life in Our Global Society

une femme peut avoir l'impression de retomber en enfance. Parmi mille injonctions, on lui impose d'éviter le café, la charcuterie, les sushis, les oeufs crus, de faire de l'exercice ou de rester couchée, de recourir à la péridurale, et ce, sans jamais lui en expliquer les raisons. Lorsqu'Emily Oster, économiste de réputation mondiale, est elle-même tombée enceinte, elle s'est interrogée sur ces directives communément admises. Elle est remontée aux sources et a découvert avec surprise que la plupart d'entre elles étaient excessives ou tout simplement fausses.
