There are a lot of reasons to breastfeed: it's important for infant bonding; mother's milk is the most nutritious food; and it's quick and convenient. Now comes the strongest statement yet: nursing is "more than a lifestyle choice--it's a lifelong choice for the child's development." The producers of this program back their claim with long-term studies in which people breastfed as infants scored at least nine points higher on IQ tests than their formula-fed peers. Providing a concise overview on the benefits of breastfeeding for both baby and mother, this excellent tape answers common questions about nursing problems and issues for working mothers. Dr. Ruth Lawrence (herself the mother of NINE breastfed children) and a national expert on human lactation, lends an air of both medical authority and grandmotherly warmth to this lively presentation, which combines pleasant narration with scenes of multicultural mothers and babies. Highly recommended both for public libraries and medical centers. Editor's Choice. Aud: P. (R. Reagan)
