BETTER BREASTFEEDING

The ultimate modern-day breastfeeding guide, with empowering, medically sound advice and solutions for the trickiest issuesfrom a pioneering ENT doctor and breastfeeding expert.

inda Dahl is an ENT-otolaryngologist that started her own practice focusing specifically on infants with breastfeeding issues. Having struggled to nurse her own daughter, she was inspired to consider an ear, nose and throat solution to the problem. Eventually this led to breakthroughs in the field of breastfeeding medicine, and allowed her to create a methodology that helps bring mothers and infants together without pain, frustration, or multiple consults. Her book Better Breastfeeding is an approachable, modern-day breastfeeding guide with empowering, medically sound advice and solutions for expecting or new moms.

In today's breastfeeding friendly environment, the pressure to nurse is intense. It's said over and over that breastfeeding is natural, and every woman can do it. The truth is, the majority of moms need help breastfeeding, but they're forced to sift through varying viewpoints from a dizzying host of sources instead of being able to turn to a doctor for advice. And when breastfeeding doesn't work and they're forced to give up, they're the ones getting blamed for failure. What modern women need is information, not opinions: science-backed facts to help them make their own informed decisions about breastfeeding, without feeling ashamed or bullied.

In Better Breastfeeding, Dr. Dahl presents a new paradigm for breastfeeding based on diagnosing and treating mothers and babies using anatomy and physiology. She offers a comprehensive overview of how breastfeeding works, why it fails, and what to do about it. The book covers the basics of breastfeeding in a week-by-week guide and explores solutions for little-understood difficulties like gape restriction and tongue tie, nipple and breast pain, issues with milk supply, or abnormal nursing behaviors.

Better Breastfeeding is the all-encompassing, no-holds-barred primer that every mom needs before and during her breastfeeding journey so that she can advocate for herself and her baby.

Linda Dahl, MD has treated over 23,000 baby/mom breastfeeding pairs over the years with a nearly 90% success rate. She has also written and co-written articles published in such scientific journals as the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology and the Journal of Voice and the book, Clinicians Guide to Breastfeeding: Evidence-based Evaluation and Management.
