Hi,
Sure you are talking about breasfeeding books :-)
One of my favorite is Core curriculum for lactation consultant practice
(www.ilca.org follow "bookstore" ); I study on it during the day; but in
order to explain how it is my favorite: I mostly go with it to bed and read
some pages, the number of which depending on my brain state;
And since a few weeks that I bought it, Breastfeeding Atlas
(http://www.lactnews.com/) is becoming the other one favorite book;
depending on the part of chapter I am currently reading, I take it to bed
too (just text) or not (part with text+pictures, I may not disturb my
husband with a large light.... and my little light is not enough to
discriminate the photographs)
I feel them as very good; also easy to understand (I am french);
I like "Breastfeeding, a guide for the medical profession", from Drs
Lawrence; to my mind it is the most hard to read but maybe the most complete
to read; When I pass the exam, sure it will be my other "Bible"; because it
is really deeply detailed. it may be the most interesting for you as you are
re-certifying;
Talking about review, there is the Comprehensive lactation consultant exam
review of Linda J Smith; it may be more a tool than reading for reading
(hope it goes well into english); it helps considering the situations, so
the exam, and feeling the weaknesses we can have;
In french as technical books we have translations of LLL Books;
But there is only one book in french which may not be translated into
english, to my knowledge, it is not technical at all, it is a review issued
from novels, short stories; Claude Diderjean (LLL) collected paragraphs of
books with a passage about breastfeeding, "anthologie de l'allaitement
maternel"; great! But I am afraid you need to read french... it won't help
for your re-certification; but it is a way to stay in breastfeeding without
the technical part;
Breast regards,
Françoise Coudray
