We regularly publish important working materials for breastfeeding counselling in our magazine Lactation & Breastfeeding. Here you can download these handouts for free. On the "Laktation & Stillen - Deutsche Ausgabe" page, you will find the same handouts in German.
In breastfeeding counselling, we constantly meet women from the most various ethnic groups. The language barrier in particular makes it difficult to convey information correctly. A unified illustrated information sheet with simple texts was ultimately developed from the handout, “Breastfeeding without Words”, which has been translated into 24 languages to date. We would be happy if you could help us to expand this offering with further languages.
Dear authors, We look forward to hearing from you. When writing your manuscript, please consider the following guidelines to simplify the work of the editorial team. Many thanks. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us:
