Risks of Not Breastfeeding-New ILCA Publication
This manageable publication (8 printed pages, plus a citation list of 120 research articles in the reference section) puts at your fingertips the evidence-base demonstrating breastfeeding as the biologic norm, and a public health imperative. It puts — all into one place — an easy-to-understand explanation of the latest relevant and credible research regarding breastfeeding and human lactation. This will be a must-have for IBCLC practitioners: for their clinical work, and for use with colleagues, administrators and policy-makers.
Sections include: unique components of breastmilk, long- and short-term maternal and infant health outcomes, hazards of formula and bottle-feeding, and financial consequences of not breastfeeding.
This long-anticipated evidence-based document is a review, revision and complete update of ILCA’s three popular “Summary of Hazards of Infant Formula” publications. Combined and updated now as “Risks of Not Breastfeeding,” this is a must-have resource.
