We introduced the Lact-Aid Nursing Trainer System to the breastfeeding products market in 1971, following three years of careful research and development. In 1973, Karen Pryor was the first author to cite Lact-Aid System in her book, Nursing Your Baby. Ever since, many authors have described or recommended it in their books, articles and teaching materials directed to parents and fellow health professionals alike.
Likewise, Lact-Aid System has caught the attention of journalists in television and radio, as well as developers of films and other audio/video media. More recently, the availability of the world wide web as a tool for accessing information has fostered even more interest. The new electronic media has proveded unprecedented opportunities for open access to information. Online articles and abstracts, and open discussions via newsgroups or bulletin boards, chats, and email lists have generated even more information about Lact-Aid System.
Why has Lact-Aid System received such acclaim? The answer is simple...it works. While other nursing supplementers have appeared from time to time, not one has been able to match the proved performance of the original. It's one thing for us to say we have an excellent, effective product, but it's something more, when others say so. The massive amount of unsolicited, free publicity it has received validates the fact that our product and the Lact-Aid name has a well earned reputation for excellence.
This Bibliography is adapted from several data sources. From our marketing data created to track how customers hear about Lact-Aid System, we learned about books, articles, and other resources. From our records of requests by authors for permission to use Lact-Aid photos we learned of new articles and texts. Some authors cited Lact-Aid System but used their own photos or illustrations, so did not submit requests. We learned about their publications from Lact-Aid customers, or simply found them in a book store! We found that many of the authors describe it in some detail and indicate the many kinds of breastfeeding situations in which its use has proved helpful. Most also index it by our Lact-Aid®brand name. Many include it in a separate resource list or appendix with a contact address for information. Most include photos or illustrations, which may be our copyrighted Lact-Aid photos or drawings, or photos made by authors or parents, or illustrations by artists. For each reference listed below, details about indexing, photos, illustrations is provided.
Some references in this Bibliography are available online as abstracts, or as complete articles. For some, it may be possible to link to a resource where the title can be ordered, such as PUBMED and Grateful Med, services of the National Library of Medicine, NLM. We are in the process of reviewing all the titles we have currently listed, in order to provide you with links to such resources. See the Key to Symbols, below.

Abstract: The authors studied breast feeding in women who had inferiorly based pedicle reduction mammaplasty. Seventy-three patients were contacted and sent a standardized questionnaire. Twenty patients of the 68 who responded had become pregnant after reduction mammaplasty. All 20 women lactated. Seven of these women (35 percent) went on to a breast-feed successfully. Thirteen (65 percent) decided not to breast-feed or discontinued breast feeding for personal reasons.

Abstract: In this retrospective study the association between breast augmentation and lactation outcome in the two groups was studied. They found a greater incidence of lactation insufficiency in augmented women when compared with nonaugmented women . Specifically, it was the periareolar approach that was most significantly associated with lactation insufficiency
