Is there a book with general procedure guidelines for LC's?

For instance is a mother comes in with c/o painful latch..
The LC should ... check oral assessment of infant, check mothers anatomy, watch mother and infant latch.

MOther makes appointment due to slow weight gain.
the LC should conduct pre and post weight, nursing history, oral assessment, ect

IF the LC helps a late preterm infant ...

I know that there are many different books available with every subject but is there one book that has a listing of the common consults and with the LC  and steps to be taken.

For anyone who works in a practice with more than 1 LC what procedures do you have in place so that each mother would receive the same type of care by each LC?
