Nancy Mohrbacher, IBCLC, FILCA & Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, PhD, IBCLC
This book presents a compassionate, evidence-based guide to breastfeeding, structured around seven “natural laws” that reflect the biological and instinctive behaviors of mothers and babies. The authors, both experienced lactation consultants, provide practical advice to help mothers initiate and sustain breastfeeding, addressing common challenges and offering solutions grounded in current research.
Why It’s Included
Breastfeeding Made Simple aligns with our commitment to biologically normal, responsive parenting. It emphasizes the innate abilities of both mother and baby, supports on-demand feeding, and encourages practices like skin-to-skin contact. The book also addresses societal and cultural influences on breastfeeding, promoting informed and confident choices for mothers.
Who It’s For
Ideal for new and expectant mothers seeking a natural, instinctive approach to breastfeeding. It’s also a valuable resource for partners, family members, and professionals who support breastfeeding mothers, offering insights into the physiological and emotional aspects of nursing.
““This book gently simplifies breastfeeding, turning it from something daunting into a beautifully natural process. Mohrbacher and Kendall-Tackett empower parents with clear, compassionate guidance rooted in science and instinct. I love how it builds confidence and helps parents enjoy their breastfeeding journey with more ease and trust.””
