Biological Nurturing: Instinctual Breastfeeding
Suzanne Colson
2019
This groundbreaking book challenges conventional breastfeeding advice by introducing the concept of biological nurturing — a relaxed, instinct-led approach that supports both mother and baby to follow their innate rhythms. Colson combines years of research with deep respect for maternal instinct, offering a powerful alternative to rigid positioning and technique-based guidance.
Why It’s Included
This title resonates with our philosophy of responsive, baby-led care. It gives mothers permission to trust their bodies and their babies, and validates the powerful biological blueprint that underpins breastfeeding. The emphasis on comfort, oxytocin flow, and instinctive connection aligns with our holistic and mother-centred approach.
Who It’s For
Ideal for new parents, breastfeeding supporters, and professionals looking for a science-backed, gentle approach to early feeding. Particularly useful for those who feel overwhelmed by prescriptive techniques or who need reassurance that comfort and connection are at the heart of successful breastfeeding.
“Laid-back (biological) breastfeeding just makes sense. When we look to our primate cousins, this position is commonly observed and i have used it in practice hundreds of times with great success. This book explores the why and the how of the approach also known as Baby-led Breastfeeding.”
