Breastfeeding Works! Even with Allergies

By Robyn Noble

If ever there were a more confusing problem for mothers and clinicians alike, it is recognising the role of allergies within a breastfeeding context. Along with the confusion is a tremendous amount of frustration and downright desperation for many of those unfortunate enough to be affected.Despite their common, everyday frequency now, allergies are almost an undiscovered country in modern life.Allergic mothers and babies can present to their doctors, lactation consultants, midwives and other practitioners in so many different ways:* painful breastfeeds* unsettled babies* vomiting babies* babies who struggle to attach and feed* babies who 'wrestle' with their mothers throughout breastfeeds* breast refusal* babies with sleep problems* babies who seem to gain weight poorly despite plenty of nappy output* skin rashes* infant colic* babies with gastric refluxThis book is the first of its kind to explore these issues and to offer ways to recognise and deal with them. Its message is that it is not nearly as difficult to persist with breastfeeding and dietary modifications as it is to live with the consequences of using artificial feeding - in both the short and longer term.
