lots of great information by an elf (VA) 5 Stars
October 02, 2008
This book was a wonderful compliment to the course I took. Keep in mind that it is a textbook though so perhaps too dense if you are only looking for light before bed reading.

Complete and rich! by Priscila C. Albuque (São Paulo, SP Brasil)  4 Stars
August 11, 2008
Worth its weight in gold. Complete and rich of details. It is a fundamental text for those who already have a basis on lactation physiology and want to learn more about consultant profession. I don't give it five stars because it doesn't contain any special chapters on Brazil's situation on breastfeeding and laws about it.
