The book covers a broad range of topics including components of breastmilk and prenatal support, optimal breastfeeding management early postpartum, followed by problems and special conditions encountered by most primary care providers who care for breastfeeding dyads. This newly revised edition is based on The Milk Mob's One Day Basic Breastfeeding Medicine for Physicians and Other Healthcare Providers, which is now online.
