title: A score sheet for evaluating breastfeeding educational materials.
abstract: Lactation consultants and other professionals are frequently asked to review or recommend a video, pamphlet, or teaching aid for a specific audience. This article lists positive features that support the art and science of breastfeeding, and identifies errors and concepts detrimental to the course of breastfeeding. Six central messages are detailed: milk supply, comfort during breastfeeding, health of baby and mother, social support, presentation of the message, and packaging, including the financial motivation of the author.
