Customer Reviews

excellent book!

I read this book from cover to cover before taking her review course and it is an excellent resource to have. I really enjoyed reading it and learned so much from it!

Excellent Resource

I purchased this book to increase my knowledge base and have found it to be an excellent source of information. This is great for new as well as experienced nurses who work with breastfeeding clients.

Breast Feeding the Newborn

As a training Lactation Cunsultant in a local hospital in Israel, I have been working with breastfeeding women for over two years. Often, differences in opinion between the Nursing Staff and Lactation Consultants surface. I found this book to help promote one uniformed goal; the breastfeeding mother. With all of Ms Biancuzzo's up-to-date research and information, and with the book's easy to read format, this book is a welcomed addition to my library.
