Award-winning author and co-founder of the Academy of Breastfeeding
Medicine, Dr. Ruth Lawrence, and her son, Dr. Rob Lawrence, ensure
that you're brought fully up to date on everything from basic data
on the anatomical, physiological, biochemical, nutritional,
immunological, and psychological aspects of human lactation, to the
problems of clinical management of breastfeeding-all in a highly
readable, easily accessible desk reference. Helps you make
appropriate drug recommendations, treat conditions associated with
breastfeeding, and provide thoughtful guidance to the breastfeeding
mother according to her circumstances, problems, and lifestyle.
Includes numerous charts and tables throughout, with an emphasis on
the scientific, chemical, and physiological underpinnings of
breastfeeding. Appendices contain additional charts and tables,
including the complete collection of clinical protocols on
breastfeeding and human milk from the Academy of Breastfeeding
Medicine. Features new chapters on breast conditions and their
management in the breastfeeding mother, breastfeeding and
chest-feeding for LGBTQ+ families, breastfeeding during disasters,
and establishing a breastfeeding practice or academic department.
Provides significant updates on physiology and biochemistry of
lactation; medications and herbal preparations in breast milk;

its relationship with breastfeeding, exposure, and avoidance;
premature infants and breastfeeding; and practical management of
the mother-infant nursing couple. Offers authoritative and fresh
perspectives from new associate editors: neonatologist Dr. Larry
Noble, obstetrician Dr. Alison Stuebe, and pediatrician and

patient-centered counseling, the cellular composition of human
breast milk, microbiota of the breast and human milk, and the
