Supporting Breastfeeding Moms in Spanish

From Melissa Kotlen Nagin, About.com Guide   October 12, 2009

I'm the first to say that I am one power nerd. I just spent a few weeks poring through Diana Glick and Tanya Lieberman's Spanish for Breastfeeding Support, which is a fantastic workbook/course to teach you how to communicate all-things-breastfeeding with Spanish-speaking moms. It is primarily intended for lactation consultants, breastfeeding peer counselors, nurses, physicians, midwives and childbirth educators, but anyone would benefit from this book. (Putting aside the fact that I'm a lactation consultant, I felt like I was back in high school, getting excited when I was on a hot streak with correct answers!)

Spanish for Breastfeeding Support also contains two CD's and audio files that can be downloaded which have spoken versions of the conversations in each chapter. They also have exercises covering vocabulary, pronunciation, and listening. The workbook is an invaluable resource and so much fun! Kudos to Glick and Lieberman for a job beautifully done!
