A Guide for Queer and Trans Parents and Helpers
Ein Ratgeber rund ums Stillen für Menschen jeden Geschlechts, der Informationen und Auszüge aus Interviews mit Fachleuten sowie Menschen, die selbst gestillt haben, enthält. Dieses Buch beantwortet viele Fragen, die insbesondere trans* und nicht-binäre Eltern und Bezugspersonen über das Stillen und zum Beispiel die Einnahme von Hormonen oder geschlechtsangleichende Operationen haben. Auch Antworten auf Fragen, wie sich z. B. Ernährung oder Medikamente auf das Stillen auswirken können, finden sich in diesem Buch.
Und dann gibt es natürlich vor allem Tipps rund um das Stillen selbst, wie z. B. Vorbereitungen, Stillpositionen, Hilfsmittel, Abstillen und Self-Care für stillende und nicht-stillende Eltern und Bezugspersonen. Wer lieber ein kürzeres Buch lesen mag, findet diese letzteren Tipps auch in Queer Nursing und dessen deutscher Übersetzung Stillen für alle.

For those who prefer to read a shorter book, these latter tips can also be found in Queer Nursing and its German translation, Stillen für alle.

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.
