Book Description

0912500948 978-0912500942 April 15, 2003 3rd
Now available as a set, the revised Breastfeeding Answer Book and Breastfeeding Answer Book CD-ROM are definitive resources for those who are dedicated to helping mothers breastfeed.

The exclusive CD-ROM features a search function for the 2003 text of the Breastfeeding Answer Book; the translation of the 1997 Breastfeeding Answer Book in Spanish, also searchable; and an encrypted link to La Leche League International's Web site, which will provide updates on information and other special features.

Highlights of this revised edition also include new approaches to positioning and latch-on, information on the use of prescription and herbal medications to increase milk supply, new illustrations of breast structure and how the breast functions as reflected in the research of Dr Peter Hartmann, and information on breastfeeding in emergency situations. This guidebook, which also explores controversial issues such as vitamin D supplementation of the breastfed baby and new treatment options for damaged nipples, can be used with confidence to help mothers establish and enjoy a satisfying breastfeeding relationship with their babies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your Breastfeeding Questions Answered, June 14, 2005

This review is from: The Breastfeeding Answer Book (La Leche League International Book) (Hardcover)
I purchased this book after I began my journey to becoming a lactation consultant. Though I never read the book from cover-to-cover, I have covered nearly every page (some pages over and over!) over the last several months in my effort to support nursing mothers within the LLL philosophy. The information in this book is thorough and simply written, though at times I have considered it poorly organized. The BF Answer Book is probably the best book for helping breastfeeding moms. I hope to continue to learn from this book as I explore it's pages while providing support and information to mothers who need it.

If you are a medical professional who treats or consults nursing mothers... this book is a "must have" for your professional shelf!

This review is from: The Breastfeeding Answer Book (La Leche League International Book) (Hardcover)
I've used this book a TON at work with breastfeeding moms. (I work in a Neonatal Intensive Care environment). I also bought it to use for review for the IBCLC exam. It's not the only book I own but I'm glad I have it. It contains more information than the "average" mom may want, but it sure gets borrowed a lot! It's easy to read for "lay people" or professionals and has a lot of practical information. Love the spiral bound copy so it will lie flat. When it says "LLL" you know it has to be good. I do wish it contained more pictures.....if so, I'd give it five stars.
