The Most Comprehensive Problem-Solution Guide to Breastfeeding from the Foremost Expert in North America Written by Jack Newman, M.D., and Teresa Pitman Dr. Jack Newman is a world renown authority in the field of breastfeeding. He is one of the most visible and respected adoptive breastfeeding advocates in the world today. The Adoptive Breastfeeding Resource Website hosts many articles written by Dr. Newman. This book is a comprehensive reference guide which addresses many of the breastfeeding situations that will pertain to adoptive and biological mother's alike. It discusses the effects various drugs have on the composition of breastmilk.
Drugs discussed include prescription, over the counter as well as illegal drugs.
It is also an excellent reference for any professional who regularly gives advice to clients on the safety of specific drugs in relation to breastfeeding. It lists individual drugs and studies approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics. This is the only book, that I am aware of, that is solely dedicated to breastfeeding an adopted infant. Please correct me if I'm wrong. In the meantime, this is a good starting point for adoptive mother's choosing to nurse their infants.
