By Suzanne Hetzel Campbell

Awarded second place in the 2021 AJN Book of the Year Awards in the History and Public Policy categoryHealthcare professionals, including lactation consultants and nurses, have the unique challenge of educating the community and their patients on healthy breastfeeding and the benefits of lactation. However, breastfeeding is not efficiently represented in texts specific to health promotion. With her 30 years' experience educating undergraduate and graduate nursing students and interprofessional healthcare providers on maternal-infant health and lactation, Suzanne Hetzel Campbell is breaking that tradition. Lactation: A Foundational Strategy for Health Promotion uses evidence-based research and a person-centered care framework to empower healthcare practitioners to advocate for and support families in their breastfeeding ventures.See Suzanne Hetzel Campbell discuss her new book, Lactation: A Foundational Strategy for Health Promotion.
