5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo
Libro eccezionale. Lo sto usando per prepararmi all'esame da ibclc è validissimo e lo consiglio a chi deve approcciarsi con questo tema
Ovviamente è in inglese ma abbastanza scorrevole anche se molto tecnico

5.0 out of 5 stars THE guide for physicians to breastfeeding!
This has long been THE medically reputable guide for physicians to breastfeeding--just the facts, no old wives' tales, esp. the always updated list of meds that are safe for the baby, as taken by the nursing mother (even during delivery). My wife and I bought the 1st edition when she was pregnant with our first child in 1980. This is the 8th edition. Side note: Not only has Dr. Ruth Lawrence been a med school professor for decades, she breastfed ALL EIGHT of her own children, so she's not just some pointy-headed intellectual--she walks the talk.

4.0 out of 5 stars La biblia de la lactancia
No puedo ponerle ni una pega, es la tercera edición que compro, las dos anteriores en papel.
Me daba miedo que al ser un libro tan extenso me costase manejarme con el formato digital, pero no ha sido así para nada. Es más, me lo he llevado de vacaciones y... ahí sí que le da 1000 vueltas al pesadísimo formato en papel.
