This text covers a variety of topics in the lactation consultation field, beginning with breastfeeding promotion in the modern world, and examining the professional role of the lactation consultant, as well as basic anatomy, physiology, nutritional needs, high-risk babies, and breastfeeding techniques. Lauwers and Shinskie, both breastfeeding consultants, emphasize attitude and approach in counseling new mothers, and offer suggestions about how best to work with women during this "sensitive period" for both mother and baby.
