Customer Reviews

Incredibly informative and up-to date information for ALL Lactation Professionals!

This comprehensive manual/textbook for Lactation Professionals is very thorough and informative. It touches on just about everything you need to know about lactation, breastfeeding, pre-natal and peri-natal care and the mother-baby dyad. The full-color photos are a bonus! Jan Riordan is a renowned Lactation Consultant and Professor at Wichita State University. She also has a background of a La Leche League Leader, so she has real-life experience to draw on as well as in-depth medical experience. I recommend this book for any LC or LC to be.

FANTASTIC

I love this book. It's well organized and easy to read even though some info is quite technical. I'm taking the IBCLC exam soon and out of several books I'm using for review, this is my favorite.
