Finally, a book on newborn feeding that focuses on the milks and the methods, for all families.

Getting a baby fed is one of the most important tasks for a new parent. With straightforward advice and evidence-based reasoning, lactation consultant Victoria Facelli introduces her modern approach in Feed the Baby. Both bottle and breast are welcomed as equally valuable tools. Based on her years of experience in the field, Facelli understands what families and babies need to thrive. She explains the science behind the various options, from how milks are made to how a newborn's sucking and swallowing skills develop. Here are dozens of nursing positions and paced bottle-feeding techniques, with suggested systems and methods for parents and partners, from those critical hours after birth through the early weeks and months to the first year. Includes detailed information on hunger cues, sleep, pumping, milk supply, and much-needed support and encouragement for challenging moments.

A must for every first time parent!

Since my little one was born he had issues with latching and feeding. Since then I began finding support networks and resources to assist his every need. This book was one of them. It taught more than what I could ever imagine and am truly thankful for the insight I now have moving forward to the later months not just the first few ones.
If you’re clueless about baby’s feeding and development or how to even take care of one on their basic needs , then this book is for you. Victoria really breaks down all of these complexities in a way that is easily digestible and simple. Thank you so much for your wisdom.
