Breastfeeding and Breast Milk – from Biochemistry to Impact, published in 2018 by the Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation at Thieme, explores the multifaceted, multidisciplinary and complex world of breastfeeding and breastmilk.
The evidence-based reference book presents a holistic, scientifically robust overview of key topics written by experts from a range of disciplines, including medicine, sociology, political science, culture and economics. It also includes LactaPedia – A glossary of lactation for science and medicine. LactaPedia, developed by The University of Western Australia and sponsored by FLRF, is a go-to source for standardised, research-based terminology for breastfeeding, breastmilk and lactation.
Breastfeeding and Breast Milk aims to empower families, decision-makers and healthcare providers with the knowledge required to increase promotion, protection and support for breastfeeding and breastmilk.
Available in English and soon in German, the book can be ordered from bookstores or Theime, an award-winning international medical and science publisher serving health professionals and students for more than 125 years.
