This best-selling text continues to be the only reference to bring together in a single volume the latest clinical techniques and research findings that direct evidence-based clinical practice for lactation consultants and specialists. This text contains a clear clinical focus and over 2,000 research studies support the clinical recommendations in this book. The Fourth Edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect the worldwide expansion of the lactation specialist role. New content on obstetrical issues, especially the importance of skin-to-skin care has been added and important concepts discussed in chapters are summarized at the end of each chapter. Key features throughout include key concepts, internet resources, evidence-based tables and boxes. Accompanied by a CD-ROM and color insert, both of which accurately depict positioning, the normal breast, and breastfeeding problems!

A great required book for lactation!

A really good resource for my lactation education certification!
I enjoyed how the information was provided and didn't feel monotonous for me. It might not have everything like the LLLI book (The Breastfeeding Answer Book) but if used with other breastfeeding books, this is really good!
I like the diagrams in helping to understand hormonal secretions that helped in explaining why directly feeding the baby is the best a mother can do.

The authors are coming out with a 2016 version. This edition, while beautifully written has a terrible CD attached that has to be opened via a special program- which opened in my system with numerous warnings about security vulnerabilities. The photos on the CD and in the book are mostly outdated and not what I expected for a book that is so pricey. But the authors, who are eloquent writers, present breastfeeding science in a clear and precise way. If you are going to splurge on a book, get the new version of this one.

A must have for those planning to take the IBLCE. Don't hesitate because of the price. This book is loaded with useful information. I gave it four stars because while I feel it is a must have text there are certain areas that need some updates in the next edition. The section on introducing solids is iffy. I believe it is a grey area overall but sometimes it was lacking a citation and I really wanted to read who had made the recommendation.

Purchased in preparation for my IBCLC exam. This lactation reference is a must have for any practitioner working with infants and mothers.

I've been a neonatal RN x8 years, CLC x4 years and recently passed my IBCLC exam :)

best book!

This is the best book on the topic. I've worked in this subspeciality 20 years --- seen all the books.... this is by far & away the one I always find myself coming back to. Each part is written by the most expert noted person.... it is a reference you'll hold on to. No "selling back to the bookstore" after you compleat your training.
