Paperback. Text in English & Spanish. A bilingual childrens picture book, Mamas Leche is uniquely told from the infants perspective. Soft, tender illustrations depict baby looking into Mamas eyes, feeling nurtured and protected. The gentle and playful text helps to remind children of these profound feelings. The book encourages and celebrates the mother-infant bond that is naturally established through nursing. Research on breastfeeding as a health measure is incontrovertible! The most precious gift a mother can give her baby are the disease-protective and nurturing substances that breast milk alone supplies, together with the deep physical-emotional bond that breastfeeding grows between them. Still, children suffer an alarming range of allergies, ear infections, gastrointestinal disorders, and tendencies to obesity -- all of which are less prevalent among children who have been breastfed for one year or more. And this is just the physical part of the equation. Current research is also finding that breastfed babies are sharper intellectually and more balanced emotionally, and new studies are coming in every day. This book will be an ideal gift for childbirth educators, doctors, nurses, and caring friends and family to give to their clients and loved ones. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

This is the newest addition to Hohm Press's distinguished collection of books to encourage breastfeeding, including the classic We Like to Nurse (and its sequel, We Like to Nurse Too), Breastfeeding Your Priceless Gift to Your Baby and Yourself, and Ready to Wean. Based in the ongoing commitment to family health and the well-being of infants and children, Hohm Press is proud to present this new title.
Research on breastfeeding as a health measure is incontrovertible! The most precious gifts a mother can give her baby are the disease-protective and nurturing substances that breast milk alone supplies, together with the deep physical-emotional bond that breastfeeding grows between them.
Today, breastfeeding is supported worldwide by UNESCO and throughout the U.S. by thousands of pediatricians, by government agencies like WIC, and by enlightened childbirth educators everywhere. Many hospitals have adopted "Baby Friendly" initiatives that actively discourage or even forbid the in-house use of artificial feeding methods or infant formulas.
Still, throughout the U.S. alone, children suffer an alarming range of allergies, ear infections, gastrointestinal disorders, and tendencies to obesity ― all of which are less prevalent among children who have been breastfed for one year or more. And this is just the physical part of the equation. Current research is also finding that breastfed babies are sharper intellectually and more balanced emotionally, and new studies are coming in every day.
This book will be an ideal gift for childbirth educators, doctors, nurses, and caring friends and family to give to their clients and loved ones.
*********************
Mama's Leche, un libro infantil ilustrado para los niños, se cuenta de manera unica desde la perspectiva del bebe. Las ilustraciones suaves y tiernas representan al bebe mirando a los ojos de mama, sintiendose asi nutrido y protegido. El texto suave y juguetón les ayuda a los niños a que recuerden esos sentimientos profundos. Mama's Leche anima y alienta el vínculo que se establece naturalmente durante la lactancia entre la mama y el bebe.
Ésta es la adición mas reciente a la distinguida colección de libros de Hohm Press para fomentar la lactancia materna, incluyendo el clasico Nos gusta Amamantar (y su secuela, Nos Gusta Amamantar Tambien), Amamantar Tu Regalo Inestimable a Tu Bebe y a Ti Misma, y Listo para Destetar. Basado en el compromiso contínuo con la salud de la familia y el bienestar de los bebes y niños, Hohm Press se enorgullece de presentar este nuevo título.
La investigación de la lactancia materna como una medida sanitaria es indiscutible! El regalo mas precioso que una madre puede ofrecerle a su bebe son las sustancias protectoras contra la enfermedad, asi como los nutrientes que la leche materna solo suministra, junto con el profundo vínculo físico-emocional que aporta la lactancia materna entre ellos.
Hoy en día, la lactancia materna es apoyada mundialmente por la UNESCO y por todos los EE.UU. por miles de pediatras, por agencias gubernamentales tal como WIC, y por todas partes donde se hallan educadores del parto bien informados. Muchos hospitales han adoptado iniciativas "Baby Friendly" que activamente desalientan o incluso prohíben el uso interno de metodos de alimentación artificial o fórmulas infantiles.
Sin embargo, por todos los Estados Unidos solamente, los niños sufren una gama alarmante de alergias, infecciones del oído, trastornos gastrointestinales y tendencias a la obesidad – todos los cuales son menos frecuentes entre los niños que han sido amamantados durante un año o mas. Y esta es sólo la parte física de la ecuación. La investigación actual tambien sigue descubriendo que los bebes amamantados son mas vivos intelectualmente y mas equilibrados emocionalmente, y cada dia llegan nuevos estudios.
Este libro sera un regalo ideal para los educadores del parto, los doctores, las enfermeras, asi como los amigos y familia que se preocupan del bienestar de otros para que se lo entreguen a sus clientes y amados.
