Overview
El doctor José María Paricio comparte, en este libro, los conocimientos sobre aspectos científicos, técnicos, emocionales, sociales, culturales e históricos de la lactancia, plasmando tanto lo publicado en el ámbito de la ciencia y la medicina como lo aprendido en su experiencia profesional, de más de cuarenta años, de trato con madres y bebés.
Con un estilo divulgativo y ameno, comprensible y útil para todos -desde madres y familias hasta profesionales--, el autor aborda cuestiones clave para comprender la riqueza de la lactancia: su apasionante historia, el funcionamiento del pecho materno, la composición y propiedades de la leche, las técnicas para amamantar aprendidas de las mujeres, el influjo de la misoginia en la cultura de la lactancia y en los modelos sanitarios de asistencia maternoinfantil, las dificultades y problemas médicos y sociolaborales, los falsos problemas, las malas soluciones y falsas creencias, los efectos de la tecnificación y la medicalización, los retos que se plantean al amamantar en una sociedad compleja y la rica cultura artística y narrativa generada en torno a la lactancia.
Madres, profesionales sanitarios y especialistas en lactancia encontrarán una recopilación completa y actualizada del saber de la lactancia, basada en pruebas científicas y con referencias bibliográficas orientadas a profundizar más en el tema.
