Breastfeeding is a simple way to ensure your baby's good health and proper psychological development, and also an integral part of being a Catholic mother. In Breastfeeding and Catholic Motherhood, author Sheila Kippley brings together countless pieces of research, advice from priests and popes, and practical tips that will help you become the loving Catholic mother your baby needs.
