A must-have text for students, candidates for the IBLCE (International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners) exam, and practitioners working in maternal-child health fields. Spiral binding permits book to open flat for easy study. The Breastfeeding Atlas was developed for students studying to become board certified lactation consultants and to help practicing clinicians support breastfeeding families. With 400 color photos and evidence-based management suggestions, The Atlas features the combined clinical wisdom of two of the field’s most experience LCs. Designed with coil binding for easy lie-flat studying, the Atlas is clearly written and fully referenced. Used internationally, and now translated into 3 languages, The Breastfeeding Atlas is an exceptional resource in the field of maternal-child health.

This book is a wonderful resource for clinicians of all skill levels. It would be an excellent resource for students and clinicians learning lactation for the first time and for clinicians preparing for certification or recertification in lactation. The book would also be an excellent resource for clinicians experienced in lactation, because it includes some of the most recent research and clinical innovations.
