This book, available for the first time in Spanish, pleasingly demonstrates that breastfeeding is the healthiest option for both baby and mom. With gorgeous photos and 20 terrific reasons why breastfeeding is best, this guide summarizes current research about the diseaseprotective and nurturing substances that breast milk alone supplies. It also stresses the deep physical-emotional bond that breastfeeding establishes between mother and child.
