Just out of the oven is this book by pediatrician Carlos González, author of the bestsellers Kiss me a lot and My child doesn't eat me.
In his books we could see his inclination for breastfeeding, but in A gift for a lifetime: a breastfeeding guide defends her at all costs. The title says it all.
But it is not just a justification about the benefits of breastfeeding, but it is a kind of manual that explains to mothers and future mothers how to do it, offering practical information to those mothers who want to breastfeed so that they get it without stress and so that enjoy it. In the chest, in addition to food, the baby seeks and finds affection, comfort, warmth, security and attention. It is not just food, the baby claims the breast because he wants the warmth of his mother, the person best known to him. That is why the important thing to breastfeed is not only to count the hours and minutes or calculate the milliliters of milk, but the bond that is established between them and that is a kind of continuation of the umbilical cord.
Breastfeeding is part of the sexual cycle of women; For many mothers it is a moment of peace, of deep satisfaction, of knowing that they are essential and of feeling adored. It is a gift, although it is difficult to know who gives and who receives.
