Breastfeeding Management for the Clinician: Using the Evidence

Breastfeeding Management for the Clinician: Using the Evidence is the perfect tool for busy clinicians who need a quick, accurate, and current reference. It focuses on the essentials of breastfeeding management without the lengthy, overly-detailed explanations found in other large texts. Marsha Walker sought to create a useful and practical reference guide for lactation consultants to quickly find information to help assist their patients and infants through the various challenges (and rewards ) of breastfeeding and lactation. Now in an updated and modernized fifth edition, this unique resource features new sections on LGBTQ families, milk sharing, exclusive pumping, new breastfeeding products, breastfeeding in emergencies, additional feeding care plans, and access to downloadable patient care plans and helpful handouts that can be easily shared with patients. Breastfeeding Management for the Clinician: Using the Evidence, Fifth Edition includes literature reviews while covering incidence, etiology, risk factors, prevention, prognosis and implications, interventions, expected outcomes, care plans, and clinical algorithms. With a focus on the practical application of evidence-based knowledge and a problem-solving approach, this reference helps busy clinicians integrate the latest research into their everyday clinical practice.
