The Breastfeeding Atlas, 7th Edition Spiral-bound

The Atlas proves to be what it says on the cover. It is page specific and answers the points clearly with illustrations. I also like that it lies flat so women can use it while they try the suggestions. I recommend it for health care professionals who support women so that they can have instant access to solutions that they may not have considered. I also know that any woman would benefit from the Atlas in terms of learning from school age about breastfeeding as an Aa Ha (we are not culturally specific breat-feeders); as well as gaining on the job instant information.

This is an essential text for anyone either teaching or supporting breastfeeding in practice.It is crammed full of interesting information and numerous photographs which are useful for showing to mothers. Specific sections of the book deal with breastfeeding difficulties and "tonge-tie" for example is thoroughly explained.

This is a very useful text for all midwifery students and indeed allied professionals. It is well organised and its pictorial section is particularly useful.

Unfortunately the book came very scratched on the cover as well as corners being creased and breaking. Other than a great book with incredible detail. Just wish the quality of the book was a bit sturdier.

As a midwifery lecturer, I have found this is a useful book: clear and informative. My students have particularly liked the many photographs.
