Easy to read, easy to use reference guide. Really hoping the next update in gender-inclusive and includes information about supporting trans and non-binary lactation. That's a huge gap.

Easy to navigate. Pretty basic as a reference. I hope to get a book with more pictures, especially of latch to help better learn latching issues.
