I have learned some of my most valuable skills in correct positioning of
babies at breast from Chloe Fisher.  Her, et al book, BESTFEEDING is
fantastic and I recommend that all my clients beg, borrow, or buy it!

If I needed breastfeeding help, Chloe would be my first choice, and  She
has not breastfed.  Neither, I believe, has Dr. Jack Newman, or from long
times ago, Dr. Gregory Smith.  A lot of breastfeeding Moms have found
these people preety helpful and empathetic!
