Must Have Resource!
I read this book as part of my lactation course. It is an excellent resource that discusses many key subjects lactating mothers face and provides real-life solutions to provide mothers in need. It is an easy read that is very helpful to those new to lactation, especially paired with a lactation rotation.

Carful with the binding it will come apart.
The binding of this book is awful! I highly recommend you do not remove the online code from the front page as it causes it to rip. It is perforated but DO NOT REMOVE! Many of my classmates have had the same happen to their book and notice that those who left the code in are just now have issues with the binding.
