This is reference text for lactation consultants. The Fourth Edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect the worldwide expansion of the lactation specialist role. New content on obstetrical issues, especially the importance of skin-to-skin care, has been added and important concepts discussed in chapters are summarised at the end of each chapter. Key features throughout include key concepts, Internet resources and boxes highlighting evidence-based practice.

Accompanied by a CD-ROM and color insert, both of which accurately depict positioning, the normal breast and breastfeeding problems!
