My daughter who induced lactation for adoption found this book very 
helpful to her in keeping up her milk supply.  She was taking herbal 
supplemental galactogogues(as well as pharmaceutical) and found the 
Mother Food recommendations a major contributor to her on-going milk 
supply.  I was a practicing LC at the time and found the book a 
reliable source of information.  I liked giving food suggestion over 
supplements alone when possible, knowing that food has more benefits 
than just increasing milk.

Through the years I had often longed for such a resource.  What has 
worked throughout history and in all cultures to address milk supply 
problems?  Those mothers were not just "messing around" with their 
milk supplies; it was make milk or lose their babies. There was also 
no published research with evidence, just outcome. Then Hillary 
Jacobson wrote the book for me.

Thanks Hillary.
