Does  anyone recommend a particular lactation text over another to aid in 
counseling  dyads?  I am looking into purchasing a few and wanted to see what 
others  felt on the "best" ones that are out  there.>>>>>>>>>.



Kelly, so many really good ones out there, .....you picked some of the  cream 
of the crop so far.
 
I'll take a shot at a response for you here:
 
ILCA Core Curriculum for Lactation Consultant Practice, M. Walker:........  
this is what I would recommend to read and study to take the exam initially and 
 use thereafter as an excellent resource.

The Breastfeeding Atlas. B. Wilson-Clay: ......this along with the CD  was 
the only text that I read and looked over before taking the exam  at 10yrs, 
...*very* good use of my time.

The Breastfeeding Answer Book, LLL: ....frequent clinical use, in  practical 
use terms for moms, this one I used most often in conjunction with  weekly 
"Breastfeeding Moms Group".

Medications and Mothers' Milk, T. Hale: ......can't see how to practice  
without it.
 
Look at text also by Dr Lawrence, and Kathleen G. Auerbach and Jan  Riordan.
 
Maybe you can read over JHL book reviews for more detailed info and  insight.
 
 
Best wishes,
