Mama's Leche

Text in English & Spanish. A bilingual childrens picture book, Mamas Leche is uniquely told from the infants perspective. Soft, tender illustrations depict baby looking into Mamas eyes, feeling nurtured and protected. The gentle and playful text helps to remind children of these profound feelings. The book encourages and celebrates the mother-infant bond that is naturally established through nursing. Research on breastfeeding as a health measure is incontrovertible! The most precious gift a mother can give her baby are the disease-protective and nurturing substances that breast milk alone supplies, together with the deep physical-emotional bond that breastfeeding grows between them. Still, children suffer an alarming range of allergies, ear infections, gastrointestinal disorders, and tendencies to obesity -- all of which are less prevalent among children who have been breastfed for one year or more. And this is just the physical part of the equation. Current research is also finding that breastfed babies are sharper intellectually and more balanced emotionally, and new studies are coming in every day. This book will be an ideal gift for childbirth educators, doctors, nurses, and caring friends and family to give to their clients and loved ones.
