Do bottle fed babies sleep better and feed longer than breastfed babies? Are modern formula milks as good as breastmilk? Are breastfed babies woozies that want picking up all the time? And is it really easier and more convenient to bottle-feed?
Many women thinking about breastfeeding their babies are put off by rumours and myths. In their award-winning, beautifully illustrated book infant feeding specialist Val Finigan and embroidery artist Lou Gardiner tackle commonly held beliefs about breastfeeding with wisdom, warmth and wit.
Reviews: 'Clever, beautiful, thoughtful, vibrant and artistic, this delightful book is a colourful guide debunking common breastfeeding myths. The text is set against embroidery - perfect, not just in design, but as a metaphor for how humans embroider ideas and belief!' The Mother
