The reason that Dr. Hale's book is excellent is because Tom Hale is one 
of the only lactation pharmacologists in the country who has an indepth 
knowledge of lactation physiology, which is evident as he describes how 
medications are evaluated. Plus, if the hospital supervisor does not 
like info from a book, then she is limited with her ability to evaluate 
learning resources. He gives excellent scientific evidence for his 
assertions.
Another excellent source that does not differ significantly from Hale is 
the USA National Library of Medicine Lactmed, at 
http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/. This is another evidence based resource that 
unlike Hale's book, is free to the public.
