Written from a teaching perspective, Counseling the Nursing Mother: A Lactation Consultant's Guide, Seventh Edition presents topics within a counseling framework with practical suggestions and evidence-based information interwoven throughout. Completely updated and revised, it includes new information on social media trends, blood sugar protocols, changes in Baby Friendly NICU and the Ten Steps, donor milk in the healthy newborn nursery and effect on exclusivity, and more timely and relevant topics. Additional case studies, a continued emphasis on equity, diversity, and inclusion, and a more global focus of human lactation, make this new edition an invaluable resource for all lactation consultants. Additionally, the Seventh Edition also serves as a significant teaching tool for students, interns, and other healthcare professionals. With an extensive glossary and bulleted lists at the end of each chapter, it is an ideal study guide for International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification and practice.
