Product Description:
Counseling Nursing Families: A Lactation Consultant’s Guide continues to provide a unique evidence-based focus on counseling and communication skills for lactation consultants and specialists in an updated eighth edition. Published in association with the Lactation Education Accreditation and Approval Review Committee (LEAARC), it presents practical suggestions and evidence-based information for the lactation consultant to provide nursing parents and families. It is ideal as the first text for students preparing to practice as lactation consultants to improve their skills in counseling and communication. The authors intentionally present concepts with easy-to-read terminology so students learn basic information before advancing to more scientific resources.
The Eighth Edition has been carefully revised to ensure the use of inclusive language and thoroughly updated to include new research regarding the science of breastfeeding and lactation, clinical protocols, and counseling methods, for example, the concept of management of mastitis. With this must-have guide, readers will learn how to apply knowledge and research to their day-to-day clinical practice with an appreciation of counseling challenges and how to help families meet their needs.
