Breastfeeding difficulty due to insufficient glandular tissue is something many mothers struggle with. Because this condition is still largely under-researched and misunderstood by practitioners who work with mothers during the perinatal period, women who experience breastfeeding problems due to insufficient glandular development also struggle to find support, both clinical and emotional, in dealing with them. This book aims to inform and support the efforts of breastfeeding mothers with low milk production due to insufficient glandular tissue, from both a scientific standpoint and an emotional one, covering the unique decisions and feelings that may be faced by someone who fully intended to breastfeed but felt betrayed by her body. The book also provides guidance for practitioners who seek to understand this condition and support their patients/clients who are dealing with it.

This book is full of information and support. It is such a great resource for those with IGT and for consultants.

Required Redaing for Breastfeeding Support

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2014

Just finished reading a few moments ago. I think it is must read for anyone out there who works or volunteers in breastfeeding support. Diana offers a informative and down to earth perspective to this too little talked about issue that is breaking the hearts of so many mothers in our country. As an IGT mom, it helped give me encouragement as I prepare for my next breastfeeding journey with the birth of my second this summer. It always feels good to know you are not alone. I hope this will be a wake up call to the medical field in how such a pitiful amount of research is being done to try and help these moms and babies.

A Must Read for professionals who support breastfeeding women.

A wealth of information, well sourced and up to date. Since the birth rate has dropped in every group except for older women I imagine these issues are only going to become more common. Breastfeeding and labor support professionals must be aware of these issues so they can help their clients.

Finally - a reference for IGT

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2014

If you're a breastfeeding mom looking for general breastfeeding help, this should not be the first or even the second book you pick up. This is a deep dive into a generally poorly understood condition - well-referenced, but also written in a way that's accessible to non-researchers. Diana writes with authentic compassion and authority that also addresses the lived experience of women with insufficient glandular tissue.

This is a must-have for any lactation consultant's bookshelf - because you won't find this information elsewhere.

This book has a great deal more information than I have been able to glean from the numerous medical professionals I have visited with respect to IGT. This gave me something concrete to discuss at appointments. I really feel that every lactation consultant, public health nurse, doctor and reproductive endocrinologist should read this book. Thank you for the time and effort I know it took to sift through what information is out there and making a case for where more research is needed Diana - I hope researchers and funders are paying attention!

I was excited to find a resource on IGT being that there is not a lot of information out there, but I would recommend you skip this one and save your money. Didn't provide any information that can't be found on Google for free.

Living with IGT and a newborn can be very lonely. This book was so helpful.
