Impact of Birthing Practices on Breastfeeding, Second Edition examines the research and evidence connecting birth practices to breastfeeding outcomes.  It takes an in-depth look at the post-birth experiences of the mother and baby, using the baby’s ability to breastfeed as the vehicle, the mother’s lactation capacity as a factor, and the intact mother-baby dyad as the model to address birth practices that affect breastfeeding. 

The Second Edition has been completely revised to include new information on infant outcomes, including epidural anesthesia and Cesarean surgery, clinical strategies for helping the mother and baby recover from birth injuries, medications and complications, and information on the World Health Organization’s Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative with its  Mother-Friendly Childbirth Module.

New Chapters Include:

  • Companion(s) of the Mother’s Choice
  • Cascade of Interventions: Chance or Choice? The “Seduction of Induction”
  • Modifiable Labor Influences: Freely Move About, or “Gravity Works”
  • Modifiable Birth Influences: Surgery and Trauma
  • Restoration and Recovery
