Here's an evidence-based guide that provides current and relevant information on breastfeeding and lactation
blended with clinical suggestions for best outcomes. This essential reference provides a research-based

factors, prevention, prognosis and implications, interventions, expected outcomes, care plans, and clinical
algorithms.

Completely updated and revised, the second edition includes hundreds of new references and expanded
resources at the end of each chapter. What’s more, it provides new information on the anatomy of the nipple,
original concepts on breastfeeding management such as biologic nurturing and ventral positioning, the latest
