Very helpful

I really liked how this book is laid out. Having everything in bullet format made studying the content easier. This is a great book to utilize when studying for the IBCLC exam.

Great book for IBCLC Exam Study

This book was an excellent source of information useful in studying for the IBCLC exam this past July. It is clearly written in concise bullitt point form, which makes it easy to highlight important points for future review. I would highly recommend this book to anyone intending to sit for the board exam next year.
