Useful

Well-referenced with a good bibliography this is a comprehensive guide to BFing. It's nice to see all the codes in one place so I can get paid for BF counseling....always a struggle. Don't expect demonstrations....there are good apps for that elsewhere. But great statistics for those moms on the fence.
Great breastfeeding app

This is a very comprehensive app with information for health care providers regarding the basics of breastfeeding. It includes links to other valuable resources for those who want to learn more! A must have for those who care for mothers and babies.
Extremely resourceful app
Veteran breastfeeder
As a pediatrician who works both in a clinic and hospital setting, I'm constantly working with new breastfeeding mothers. This app has wonderful pictures and step by step tips that even busy practitioners can easily use with their patients. The topics are well organized and easy to access. There are also many evidence based articles to share with other health care providers. I'm really excited to share this app with my colleagues!
Every Med student & Resident needs this reference!!!

Among the growing available breastfeeding apps, this one fills a particular gap needed as an easy-to-use ready reference for med students & residents on OB, newborn, and NICU rotations, as well as the seasoned Family Practitioner who didn't get anything other than "at the elbow" lactation education. Common Lactation ICD-9 codes billable in Pedi, OB, and FP office visits are very helpful for office-based practices. It's very easy to use, has a complete (if not exhaustive) index, and EXCELLENT resources links for providers after more comprehensive info. Great work by the Texas DSHS to make breastfeeding info accessible and cheap to today's healthcare providers wanting to beef up their own human milk know-how & practice. I'd like to see breast milk storage & handling guidelines for healthy term infants & preterm infants added in the next update.
Remove the over 17 content warning

Good grief why the over 17 content warning! I just downloaded the app and will add more after playing with it but that decreased the number of stars I give it right now!
Wonderful

This app is very comprehensive. Outstanding organization and thorough links. Highly recommend.
Crashes upon launch
*MacMom*
I saw this app has been updated, so I thought I'd try it again. The last version crashed immediately upon launch for me. So I've never actually gotten to use it. And, unfortunately, this version also crashes immediately upon launch. Very disappointing. I'd love to try it if I can ever get it to launch. :(
