Hi Adrienne,  

So sorry you have a suspicious micro-manager as your boss.  What resources does she regard as acceptable?  If she wants research studies, Hale is full of them. I would not regard this as a textbook but as a clinician's handbook.  It is full of practical information and is compact and easy to use.

Ask one of the pharmacists that you work with to comment on Hale's book.  The Pharm Ds that I work with will use it along with all of their reference books.   

Reassure your boss that the MDs amd pharmacists that you work with are additional resources that you can use in your practice.  Good luck, Rachel Wahl

> Hi! I am a hospital based LC who needs information for my boss. I have always used Hale since I have worked in lactation. It is what I was taught. What I need to know is - How did Hale become the accepted authority? I can present credentials, information, etc., but she wants to know how was Medications and Mother's Milk decided to be acceptable to use. I know this may be a bizarre question, but this is what I have to work with. In her opinion, very few textbooks are acceptable to use. Thanks in advance.
