The authors of Baby-Led Weaning are back to help parents discover how easy breastfeeding can be when you follow your baby's natural instincts. Forget stressful schedules, painful latching, and worries over milk supply. In the same sensible and sensitive voice that has made baby-led weaning a growing sensation, authors Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett explain how to: - get breastfeeding up and running in the first few weeks - hold your baby so that he can feed effectively - express and store milk efficiently - avoid or remedy sore nipples, mastitis, and other problems - wean at a natural pace. Staying in tune with your baby is the key to effortless feeding. Baby-Led Breastfeeding gives you the tools to create a happy and fulfilling breastfeeding experience for mother and baby.

Gill Rapley, the pioneering champion of baby-led weaning, worked as a public health nurse for over twenty years and has also been a midwife, lactation consultant, and voluntary breastfeeding counselor. She is currently pursuing a PhD in infant feeding. Tracey Murkett is a voluntary mother-to-mother breastfeeding helper and coauthor with Gill Rapley of Baby-Led Weaning and the Baby-Led Weaning Cookbook.
