Verlagstext:
A lactation guide for people of any gender that includes information and excerpts from interviews with people who have nursed children as wells as birth and lactation professionals. This book answers a lof questions trans* and nonbinary parents and caretakes might have about nursing and for example the intake of hormones or gender-affirming surgeries. But it also gives answers to questions generelly such as how nourishment or medication might impact lactation and nursing.
And of course it includes tipps around nursing itself, such as preparations, how-tos and self-care for lactating and non-lactating parents and caretakes.
If you’d rather have less text and the latter tipps are also well laid out in Queer Nursing and its German translation Stillen für alle.
Can I lactate if I’ve had top surgery?
When can I restart taking testosterone?
Where do I start with donor milk?
Finally, a book about lactation not geared exclusively towards cisgender women! Lactation for the Rest of Us is an early addition to the literature for queer and trans people who have seen themselves left out of previous informative books on chestfeeding and lactation. Useful information is included for transmasculine parents, transfeminine parents, non-binary parents, queer parents, helpers, adoptive parents, and even cisgender male parents. Covering the induction of lactation, difficulties one may encounter with chestfeeding, expert advice, and first-person testimonials, this is the book the queer parenting community has been waiting for.
