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!

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.
