Product Description

Review
"This is a text which will no doubt be accessed principally by midwives and neonatal nurses, but the successful establishment and maintenance of breastfeeding is far more likely to prosper when all health care providers are singing from the same hymn sheet, and I would strongly commend that it is read by all those who involved in the process including paediatricians, health visitors, GP s and paediatric nurses and others."www.withwoman.co.uk

Product Description
This is a comprehensive and practical guide to all aspects of breastfeeding babies with special care needs. The language is clear and direct and the references up to date. The author covers the basics of breastfeeding and lactation, positioning and attachment, milk supply, the impact of common drugs, as well as breast conditions and problems and their resolution. Particular attention is paid to feeding the vulnerable baby and to alternative methods of feeding.

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical, comprehensive guide to breastfeeing prem babies, 2 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Breastfeeding Special Care Babies (Paperback)
Sandra Lang has written a book which is both highly informative and at all times encouraging both to mothers of premature babies and health professionals who care for them. It gives detailed and compelling evidence of the importance of breastmilk to these already compromised babies with regard to prevention of infection and optimal nutrition. But Ms. Lang's book is also extremely practical as it clearly describes the practicalities of feeding very prem babies including breastmilk expression, naso-gastric and cup-feeding. I highly recommend this book to all midwives, neonatal nurses, paediatricians, childbirth educators and of course all parents of premature babies.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best breastfeeding books available today., 20 May 2005
By A Customer
I was first introduced to this book as a student midwife on a placement in an intensive care baby unit. This book has never left my side since and I now list it as essential reading for my students. I wish I could give a copy to every new mum and dad, regardless of whether their baby needs special care services or not. This is one of the few books on breastfeeding that gives practical, evidence-based answers to problems that face many mothers in the early days. I know of mothers that would have given up breastfeeding if it had not been for the support that this book offers. New parents are swamped with books available on breastfeeding (many of which should be burnt in my opinion!)but every professional breastfeeding support worker I have spoken to about this book agrees that this is one of the best on the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely essential, 27 Oct 2004
By A Customer
I wish there had been a reference copy of this book chained to the wall in the Special Care Unit where my baby was! Reading it then would have made an immeasurable difference to how we coped and reacted with that very difficult time. Reading it now, a few years on, has been both a reassurrance and a vindication.

There are few books that strike such a perfect balance between professionals and parents. This books provides the evidence-based clinical information to influence a professional, while still remembering that a neonate is someone's child. Above all, the author communicates a genuine enthusiasm for breastfeeding, and a need for real support for the mother.

This book will be the first thing to go into my birth bag when I next become pregnant. I don't know if I'll have another pemature baby, but I'm never going through it again without Sandra Lang.
