Critical for the IBCLC exam by K. Tier (San Francisco Bay Area)  5 Stars
October 25, 2009
I received my pre-ordered copy of the 4th edition a little over a month before I sat for the IBCLC exam for the first time in July 2009. I worked hard to read it cover to cover for the exam, generally reading one chapter per day. I loved it and I truly believe it was critical to my passing of the exam (84%). It includes about 150 additional pages over the 3rd edition. I also appreciated the fact that the evidence-based research was very recent, including information that came out in December 2008. Highly recommended!

This comprehensive manual/textbook for Lactation Professionals is very thorough and informative. It touches on just about everything you need to know about lactation, breastfeeding, pre-natal and peri-natal care and the mother-baby dyad. The full-color photos are a bonus!
Jan Riordan is a renowned Lactation Consultant and Professor at Wichita State University. She also has a background of a La Leche League Leader, so she has real-life experience to draw on as well as in-depth medical experience.
I recommend this book for any LC or LC to be.
