This is a must read for anyone in infant feeding。 It presents breastfeeding as the biological norm (not always common in other infant therapy texts) and is pumped full of information, all backed with solid studies。 I have taken a long time to get all the way through this book because I would put it down for months at a time and then pick it up again。 Some of it needed to be digested before I moved on。 I use this book constantly with my clients。 When I passed the IBLCE exam, I craved more info。 T This is a must read for anyone in infant feeding。 It presents breastfeeding as the biological norm (not always common in other infant therapy texts) and is pumped full of information, all backed with solid studies。 I have taken a long time to get all the way through this book because I would put it down for months at a time and then pick it up again。 Some of it needed to be digested before I moved on。 I use this book constantly with my clients。 When I passed the IBLCE exam, I craved more info。 This was perfect。 It is a great next step on things that are not covered in the exam, but you need to know。 The photos are great and the great thing is that alongside the pathology are options for solutions。There is so much here that I have marks in the margins and will have to go back and make more。I always love attending lectures by Catherine Watson Genna and this book was no disappointment。 。。。more

This book is written for health professionals as a way to better educate them on the intricacies of breastfeeding a baby, especially those with sucking problems。While most of the information in the book was superfluous for my needs (as a mom with difficulty breastfeeding), I did find the book helpful, especially the tongue "exercises" to practice with the baby。 I couldn't find this information anywhere else!
