Why your formula-fed baby can be happy, healthy and smart.

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><b>You are not a bad mother if you can&#146;t breastfeed.</b></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">For decades mums have been told that &#145;breast is best&#146;, that breastfeeding is the single-most important thing we can do for our children. &#160;Despite this huge pressure on modern mums, the vast majority of us end up using formula. &#160;And we feel guilty.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">In Guilt-Free Bottle Feeding award-winning journalist Madeleine Morris and paediatrician Dr Sasha Howard challenge the simplistic message of &#145;breast is best&#146;, revealing what everybody knows, but nobody says out loud &#150; that bottle fed babies can grow up to be perfectly happy, healthy and smart.&#160;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">With a thorough yet accessible analysis of health science, parenting sociology and the modern media, the authors provide a balanced, much-needed and long-overdue voice, showing mothers who don&#146;t exclusively breastfeed why they are not failures.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">A mix of political and practical, Guilt-Free Bottle-Feeding also offers comprehensive advice on feeding, including:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"></p>

<ul>

<li>Choosing a formula, and choosing a bottle</li>

<li>Sterilising and preparing a feed</li>

<li>How to promote bonding while bottle-feeding&#160;</li>

<li>Moving from breast to bottle, and mixed feeding</li>

</ul>

<p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">In an era where the pressure on mums is greater than ever before, Guilt-Free Bottle Feeding resets the conversation around infant feeding, supporting all families regardless of how they feed their babies.&#160;</span></p>
