Fortifying Families of Faith

Breast is Best! It's the mantra taken up by policy makers and the scientific community as evidence of the myriad benefits of breastfeeding continues to mount. At the same time, mothers who breastfeed tell us there is more to the breastfeeding relationship than simply providing their babies with superior nutrition and health benefits. For many women, the nurturing component to breastfeeding is what draws them to the Art and keeps them practicing. The Art of Breastfeeding examines the science that underlies the nurturing relationship that gives babies their best possible start in life. It also helps women perfect the Art as the relationship with their babies develops over time.
