Dans chaque page, une colonne de courts commentaires à la gauche donne un sommaire du texte plus
détaillé à la droite. Chaque titre de chapitre étant
accentué d’une barre au bord de chaque page, il est alors
facile de feuilleter le livre afin de trouver un sujet spécifique. Quelques chapitres contiennent des diagrammes et Quelques photos en noir-et-blanc. L’annexe A
contient “La présence des médicaments et autres
produits chimiques dans le lait maternel,” qui est la
traduction de la déclaration de 1994 de l’American
Academy of Pediatrics sur le transport des médicaments
dans le lait maternel.
Le Traité de l’Allaitement Maternel sera une
ressource essentielle pour les consultantes en lactation
et autres professionels de la santé qui servent les mères
allaitantes et leurs bébés.
English Translation
Le Traité de l’Allaitement Maternel retains the
easy-to-use format and informative contents of its English-language counterpart, The Breastfeeding Answer
Book. Chapters include basic anatomy and physiology,
common concerns and challenges, and difficult or more
unusual breastfeeding situations.
In each chapter, a column of short comments runs
along the left of the page, with a more detailed commentary on the right. Each chapter topic is highlighted with a
bar bleeding at the edge of the page, making it easy to
browse through the book to find specific issues. A few
chapters contain appropriate diagrams, with some
black-and-white photographs. The chapter on maternal
illness contains a translated version of the American
Academy of Pediatrics statement on drugs and other
chemicals in human milk.
Le Traité de l’Allaitement Maternel will be an
invaluable resource for French-speaking lactation consultants as well as all French-speaking health professionals who assist breastfeeding mothers and babies.

Editor’s note: There is an unexpected benefit to these
new language editions. Lactation counselors with partial knowledge of one or two of these languages (English, French, and Spanish) can use these versions as
translation guides, since each sentence of each book follows very closely the English original. NJB.

A great book for waiting and exam rooms, elementary and preschools, homes, and everywhere preschoolers and young readers go. This easy-reading book by an
elementary school teacher and mother of two normalizes breastfeeding beyond infancy and cosleeping.
“Now that I’m big I eat at the table, but I still like to
nurse,” declares the little narrator.
With illustrations done in soft colors, the text and pictures include times and places the young child likes to
nurse: in bed at naptime and bedtime, when waking, sad,
hurt, or needing a cuddle. Each page features a full-page
illustration with as few as three and at most 21 words.
Nicely international, the illustrations feature a variety of
skin tones and hair color. Most of the children pictured
could be boys or girls so either sex can identify with the
story.

Infants with milk soy protein intolerance (MSPI, or
eosinophilic gastroenteritis) have a history of colic-like
behavior, poor growth, and bloody stools. A cognizant
doctor suspecting a breastfeeding infant to be suffering
from MSPI will suggest that soy and cow’s milk products be removed from his or her mother’s diet. The
author, who weaned to stop her firstborn’s pain, later
