All moms have milk. Risks and damages of bottle-feeding
Breast milk has been rearing human infants since mankind's origins. However, starting from the 20th century, breastfeeding has been dramatically decreasing and replaced by bottle-feeding. Why? And what are the effects on babies and children's health and growth? What social and environmental costs does it imply?
Is it true that only some "lucky" mothers can breastfeed? Why do so many women erroneously believe their milk is not sufficient or good enough?
This book simply and clearly provides answers to questions and doubts about breastfeeding, as well as accurate, well-documented analysis and evidences about infant breastfeeding vs bootle-feeding impact on children's life. Recent and exhaustive recommendations by international institutions and organisations are also quoted, as well as reasons - and interests - behind global advising against breastfeeding.
The book is ment for parents and future parents, but also for health professionals, teachers, mothers and infant care professionals and workers, as well as people who intend to have a more healty, eco-frienly and conscious-consuming approach to child care: breastfeeding is actually natural, accessible, cheap, pleasant and healthy for children, families and the environment.
Paola Negri is a professional adviser and trainer in breast-feeding, working with new-mothers and pregnant women. She took part in research projects and enquiry projects on violations of the WHO-UNICEF International Code of Marketing and Beast-milk Substitutes, and also committed in breastfeeding promotion among institutions and media.
