“…[Breastfeeding] benefits the child and helps to create the closeness and maternal bonding so necessary for healthy child development. So human and natural is this bond that the Psalms use the image of the infant at its mother’s breast as a picture of God’s care for man…"
- Pope John Paul II

Breastfeeding Management Resources
There are many breastfeeding books on the market today that have wonderful, comprehensive information in them. The current trend in them is towards removing the valuable role of the father and promoting artificial contraception.Thankfully, the Catholic Church teaches that both mother and father play a special role in raising loving and holy children and that there is a better way to space families: ecological breastfeeding and systematic NFP. After perusing various breastfeeding books and websites, CNML has found a book with fairly comprehensive breastfeeding information and website that do not go against Catholic teaching:
The Baby Book, Revised and Updated Edition: Everything You Need to Know about Your Baby From Birth to Age 2 (2013)
