Easy to read, easy to use reference guide. Really hoping the next update in gender-inclusive and includes information about supporting trans and non-binary lactation. That's a huge gap.

Had to read this for a work certification- totally counting it though - look up reading time 😊😆

Amazing book for helping lactation consultants learn how to help moms with breastfeeding!

Easy to navigate. Pretty basic as a reference. I hope to get a book with more pictures, especially of latch to help better learn latching issues.
