The only breastfeeding manual new mums will ever need, from the foremost expert in the field—filled with straightforward, evidence-based information and compassionate care.

Let’s get real: a breastfeeding makeover is long overdue. From the creator of the popular lactation website Physician Guide to Breastfeeding comes a companion resource guaranteed to calm the postpartum chaos and stop lactastrophes before they start.

Forget the hacks, hashtags, and home remedies. Dr. Katrina Mitchell uses the no-nonsense approach of a surgeon and years of work as a breast and women’s health specialist to fact-check the fake news of lactation and bring breastfeeding back to the basics. Whether a mum is suffering from recurrent “plugs” and mastitis or drowning in the dark depths of triple feeding, she’ll no longer need to query Google nor question whom to trust.

With compassion, clarity, and common sense, Dr. Mitchell examines the status quo of making milk at all costs, shifting the focus from breastfeeding “success” to breastfeeding sanity. Learn why devoted patients, healthcare providers, and lactation consultants have called Dr. Mitchell the “boob whisperer,” and you’ll never click the breastfeeding search button again.

About the Author

Trained in a rigorous New York City surgery program and later in breast oncology at the country’s top cancer center, Dr. Katrina B. Mitchell was headed toward a career in academic medicine. But after becoming a single mother who returned to work at five weeks postpartum, breastfeeding provided the lifeline to her tiny infant at home and resulted in a career-altering turn. Alongside her surgical practice, she began to build a large breastfeeding medicine and lactation clinic as well as to pursue further training to treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Today, she is the world’s expert on the intersection of lactation with surgery and breast cancer, and has authored over fifty academic manuscripts and multiple book chapters. She has lectured in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia and is a frequent speaker with the American Society of Breast Surgeons. Described as a “force of positive disruption in the lactation world,” Dr. Mitchell uses her unparalleled breast expertise to challenge age-old misconceptions and advocate for change in the field. Her website, The Physician Guide to Breastfeeding, has become a leading resource for physicians, lactation consultants, and new families alike.
