"Other than the issue of the organization of the chapters, this is an excellent book. It definitely meets its objective of providing an evidence-based core curriculum for lactation care professionals. The updated edition is justified due to the changing evidence in the field. The emphasis on interprofessional care in the final section is particularly helpful given the growing interest in and appreciation of the value of interprofessional education and practice."
