his is one of the nicest reference books on breastfeeding I have found in quite some time. If you work in the field, consider it for your shelf.

Concise, up to date, and super easy to reference.

Took me nearly a year to get through this book, but I'm finally done! This will be a perfect reference for answering questions in my role as a La Leche leader, and even handling my own questions and questions from friends. I love that it is so up-to-date, with all the most current research information.

A fantastic resource for those working with breastfeeding mothers. It's huge, and comprehensive, and reliable, and readable, and easy to search, and I love it.
The only issue is that it's not particularly new, so in some areas it won't have the most up to date information, but a responsible breastfeeding counsellor takes steps to keep herself up to date anyway.

Excellent book. I highly encourage all breastfeeding helpers/professionals and all health care professionals working with moms and babies to read this. I think there is some new information missing and hope to see a revision soon but this is an excellent book. I can't believe I didn't know about it until this year!

As a first time mom, this book was very reader friendly and recommended by a certified lactation consultant.
