Oh Yes You Can Breastfeed Twins! |
Plus More Tips for Simplifying Life With Twins
NEW!
by April Rudat, MS Ed, RD, LDN
A successful breastfeeder of girl/boy twins, dietitian April Rudat provides expecting and new mothers a comprehensive and easy-to-understand handbook. Using up-to-date research and her own practical experience, April covers everything a new mother needs to know about breastfeeding her young babies.
Each woman's experience in breastfeeding is unique and can bring about frustrations, fears and indecision. April's book helps answer these normal fears any new mother may have and provides clear, detailed information that most mothering books ignore.
If you're considering breastfeeding your newborn twin babies, this is the book for you. You'll learn about the perfect nursing chairs for breastfeeding, common nursing problems, pumping, breastfeeding outside the home and sleeping through the night. April provides detailed instructions on nursing twins, and tips and suggestions on everything from clothing to saving money to constructing a practical nursery to handling spouses.
Also included are helpful appendices, detailing nutrition guidelines and safe water.
Practical yet fun to read, "Oh Yes You Can Breastfeed Twins!" can make a difference in the lives of new mothers of multiples who choose to breastfeed their babies.
