Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 La Leche League meetings are held with pregnant women, mothers with new babies, and moms with older babies or children. They discuss questions and answers them with research. This chapter addresses the questions pregnant mothers often have about breastfeeding. #2 Breastfeeding is more than just a way to feed your baby. It's the way you're designed to begin your mothering experience. However, it can be difficult for some women to breastfeed, and this is where La Leche League can help you. #3 The milk your body produces is unlike any other. It has every vitamin, mineral, and other nutritional element that your baby's body needs, and it changes subtly through the meal, day, and year to match subtle changes in your baby's requirements. #4 The mechanics of breastfeeding are also important. When your baby breastfeeding, the muscles in his jaws are exercised and massaged in a way that causes the bones in his face and jaw to develop more fully.
