Testimonials

“This book is a wonderful resource for clinicians of all skill levels. It would be an excellent resource for students and clinicians learning lactation for the first time and for clinicians preparing for certification or recertification in lactation. The book would also be an excellent resource for clinicians experienced in lactation, because it includes some of the most recent research and clinical innovations…. this book is reasonably priced for the quality of its content… The spiral binding and flexible cover make it portable and easy to use for studying, reading, or teaching. In brief, this book is an excellent investment for anyone working with breastfeeding infant or mothers.”

“The Breastfeeding Atlas is an indispensable tool for me as an IBCLC in Private Practice.   I will use 2 of Barbara and Kay’s photos to help illustrate my upcoming book for military mothers, Breastfeeding in Combat Boots.”

“Barbara Wilson-Clay has been so helpful to me as a resource.  I live and work in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and although I’ve had many years of experience working with pregnant and lactating mothers in the US, I’ve never been totally alone in my practice.  Barbara has given me great advice and support, arranged to send pedal pumps for our moms to use at home, and sent tear sheets and books for aspiring lactation consultants (as well as myself) to use here in Ethiopia.”

“Barbara and Kay’s site is a must for the professional IBCLC, breastfeeding peer counselors and parents. Both Barbara and Kay are known around the world for their knowledge and expertise which they share daily with those who are supporting families through breastfeeding difficulties as well as all those families who have been personally helped by them.”

“The Diaper Diary has been an integral part of my practice for many years.  This tool allows me to keep a closer eye on the hectic days following birth to assure adequate breastfeeding is happening! I frequently mention the Diaper Diary when lecturing and have even included it in my textbook, Breastfeeding Management for the Clinician: Using the Evidence.”

“My students preparing for the IBLCE exam purchase The Breastfeeding Atlas as a key text. The text is focused on both the mother and baby and the range of pictures in the Atlas is particularly relevant now with the increase in picture questions on the IBLCE exam. Good also for showing a picture to a mother or colleague when discussing a condition.”
