Synopsis

Designed for the medical profession, this text provides information on managing individual mothers and their infants. It discusses basic data on anatomical, physiological, biochemical, nutritional, immunological and psychological aspects of human lactation, as well as clinical management. Topics covered include techniques for handling breastfeeding in adverse circumstances and relevant psychological and social issues that impact on parent-infant bonding. The text takes a scientific rather than an anecdotal approach to human lactation. The appendices offer precise legal, pharmacologic and medical information regarding breastfeeding and human lactation.
