Book Review

Abstract

In the foreword to this book the statement is made that “ there is no scientific doubt that breast feeding is best.” The role of the nurse in promoting breast feeding is of the greatest importance. In order to do this the nurse needs guidance based on facts. This book provides that advice. It is an attractive, well-written book containing all the information needed without unnecessary details. Clear instructions are given on all aspects of breast feeding from the antenatal period to the time of weaning the infant from the breast. I recommend this book to all members of the health team.
