Breastfeeding in Combat Boots
A much needed resource
for active-duty mothers and mothers-to-be, who are seeking information and
support on how to breastfeed successfully while serving their country.
Most services now have written policies in place to support breastfeeding and direct commanders to provide a place and time for pumping milk. However, even with the policies in place, military mothers face unique circumstances that can make breastfeeding successfully a challenge. This book was written to help military mothers overcome the challenges they face so they can provide the best nutrition for their babies. Some of the topics covered include:
-
o How do I get breastfeeding off to a good start in only six short weeks?
-
o Can I pump while in the desert for training exercises?
-
o Is my pump allowed onboard ship?
-
o Do I need to pump and dump if I’ve been exposed to JP-8?
-
o How do I deal with co-workers who do not support my pumping while on duty?
These questions and more are answered in Breastfeeding in Combat Boots! In this book, Robyn Roche-Paull provides military moms with insight into the rewarding and wonderful aspects of breastfeeding on active duty, while also giving a realistic look at the challenges that lay ahead. If you are an active-duty pregnant or breastfeeding mother or you work with active-duty mothers, this book is a must-have book for your resource library. Not only is it comprehensive and easy-to-read, it also includes many testimonials from military moms who have successfully breastfed and are happy to share their experiences!
