Breastfeeding & Caring for Twins or More!
NEW! Third Revised Edition
by Karen Kerkhoff Gromada
Published by the La Leche League
A maternal-child health care nurse for almost 30 years and a parent of twins herself, Karen Kertkhoff Gromada has invaluable experience in working with mothers of multiples. Gromada has completely revised and updated the best-selling La Leche League International book "Mothering Multiples" into a comprehensive guide for new and experienced mothers. Emphasizing the positive aspects of mothering, the author covers many topics related to expertly raising multiple children. Effective breastfeeding preparations and techniques are examined in detail, including tools and goals. Other topics include diet and nutrition before childbirth, preparing for birth, understanding the Newborn Intensive Care Unit, comforting fussy babies, managing sleep, adjusting to the arrival of multiples as a family and as parents, and parenting toddler multiples.
Illustrated. Includes resource guide, appendix and index.
