[White · Rating 5 out of 5]

Basically this book is for professionals who are working in the field of lactation. It is a hefty troubleshooting guide that is also rich in statistics from a scientific and medical standpoint. Its value is basically helping women succeed, it is not a personal book that new mothers would have on the shelf. Reading it clearly demonstrates the advantages and an appeal to success. I read this book when I was working for the county and my youngest was barely born. It gave me more determination and more of a medical perspective than it did the passion. My passion came from Pregnancy and Childbirth. This book cinched my success.
