Breastfeeding is a topic many expectant mothers and fathers want to research prior to the arrival of their baby. Some mothers-to-be are insistent on breastfeeding while others find the topic frightening. There is no doubt that breastfeeding is the healthiest choice for both the baby and the mother. The general recommendation for breastfeeding is exclusive breast milk (no other foods or liquids other than breast milk) with breastfeeding continuing until the child reaches 12 months. This book will provide the basic information of how to breastfeed, simple tips and tricks, any items to avoid while breastfeeding, while including other informative details.

During pregnancy and right after birth, women produce colostrum. Colostrum, compared to breast milk, is yellowish in color versus the white color of breast milk. The most important function of colostrum is to provide the newborn with antibodies to protect against disease. At birth, newborns have circulating antibodies that were received from the mother, but the baby’s own immune system does not develop fully until about 6 months old. When the baby is breastfed, antibodies are delivered through the mother’s milk. The colostrum that is produced is small in amount, but is enough for the breastfeeding baby. In addition to antibodies, colostrum contains carbohydrates and protein. It also acts as a laxative which encourages the baby to produce their first stools. These early stools are called merconium, and are important as these bowel movements help eliminate bilirubin, which contributes to jaundice.
