Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Since the publication of the first edition in 1999, The Breastfeeding Atlas has become one of the most widely referenced lactation texts in the world, helping to train students and enhance the ability of health professionals to assist mothers and babies.

From the Author

Kay Hoover and I are proud to have been pioneers in the lactation field. We realized very early on that our fledgling profession lacked professional educational resources. We picked up cameras and began to document the things we saw in our practices. This became the genesis for the Atlas. The new edition greatly expands our original vision to create a comprehensive manual of mother and infant conditions affecting lactation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for IBLCE exam review, June 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The breastfeeding atlas (Paperback)

This book is full of pictures and scenarios which make it a great resource to review for the Lactation Consultant certification exam. Will also be great to show to new mothers when explaining proper positioning, and identifying problems

This review is from: The Breastfeeding Atlas, Third edition - Enclosed DVD with 1.5 hours of instructional video (Spiral-bound)

I simply love it ! I especially appreciate the new DVD feature. The clips are very informative and beautifully made. I really love the kind and gentle approach towards babies. I am certain, as an image is worth a thousand words, that this will go far in educating other healthcare professionals. I look forward to using this new tool in my work and teachings.

I really want to thank the authors for this extensive work of photographying and filming special breastfeeding situations. This wonderful work will greatly help further breastfeeding knowledge with HCP and is an essential tool for us as professional LCs.

I bought this solely as a reference book on my way to becoming an IBCLC. There aren't any other books that contain the amount of pictures as this one.

I didn't give it 5 stars because I think there is some erroneous information in it and I wish they had more "normal" pictures....however, it's still a really good book.
