Maybe consider giving the residents a copy of the Americian Academy of Family Physicians position statement on breastfeeding. Our professional organization has a very strong position statement on breastfeeding (stronger than the AAPs.) Residents will want evidence based stuff -- while some may have an interest in the psychosocial benefits, etc., most will listen better if you have evidence to back it up. Barbara Wilson-Clay's suggestions were excellent. As for books about childbirth, I like "The Birth Book" by William and Martha Sears. It supports unmedicated birth, but gives an in depth discussion of pain meds, etc., so people can see the risks and benefits. I also like, "A Good Birth, A Safe Birth" by Diane Korte also. I recommend these to my patients (I give out a recommended reading list at the first prenatal visit and keep copies of these books in my exam room so folks can browse if they like.)
