  • 4 Stars - "...this is a needed book that lactation consultants will use as a resource not only for identifying unusual clinical conditions, but also for teaching other healthcare providers about breastfeeding. The study guides in each section challenge not only beginning students but also established practitioners to think critically about issues and assumptions in clinical lactation."
    --Virginia , MN, IBCLC
    University of Washington School of Medicine
    Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal, Jan/Feb. 2000

    "This book is an invaluable visual reference to the myriad conditions practitioners will see."
