A breastfeeding bible
I found it sad that this edition included a note affirming gender inclusion and supporting use of preferred pronouns, BUT for sake of translation clarity and brevity they would be using traditional titles like “mother” and “breastfeeding.” I wish that something as sacred as breastfeeding and motherhood weren’t under attack, as MOTHERS were designed to carry, birth, and produce milk with their breasts to sustain the male or female life they birthed. There is no world where this should be more clear than the birth world/the lactation world. The information in this book is literally lifesaving for some and helpful for a thriving breastfeeding journey for others. Myself and all other lactating MOTHERS can find a lot of amazing info in here and it empowers us for further education to help new MOMS coming up behind us. Great book. I hate the pressure birth and lactation professionals are under to honor gender inclusion when there is only, quite literally, two genders with specific roles to play in this circle of life we are involved in.
