Nikki Lee Health I've supported babies & families since 1975. Now, I'm on a mission to help community health workers, peer counselors, and doulas get affordable access to CEUs.

Nikki's publications include Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Breastfeeding Therapy. The International Journal of Childbirth Education reviewed this book, saying:

"The author of this highly informative and well written book seems to capture the mission of The National Center of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NC-CAM) as evidenced by the integration of best practices and clinical expertise, while keeping patient values in mind." review by Berandette Alexander, MS, LPC, NBCC

A second book, A Breastfeeding Owner's Manual received this recent review by Gwen West, CLC: "A Breastfeeding Owner’s Manual is a breath of fresh air for
professionals looking for straightforward information to share with prospective clients. I would recommend this book to families considering breastfeeding for the first time, young families, professionals who work with pregnant women, and
health educators. This book would be a wonderful addition to every OB/GYN waiting room and professional lending library. The table of contents is clear and concise, making it easy to find the right information fast, which should be appreciated by families in the depths of new parenthood. The progression from pregnancy, delivery, the first few months, and beyond also makes finding the right information fast and easy. This simple design would allow grandparents, caregivers, spouses/ partners, and even older children to support the birthing parent in their breastfeeding journey, even if they’ve never taken a breastfeeding class or had personal experience. Additionally,
the information provided is just enough to answer immediate questions without overwhelming new families with too much information. A Breastfeeding Owner’s Manual gives new families the language to use when seeking more complex support, and instills confidence by clearly identifying what is normal and what may need more professional support. Overall, as a basic beginning to the breastfeeding journey, this book is perfect addition to any shelf
or lending library." Nikki has published the monographs “Benefits of Breastfeeding and Their Economic Impact”and “Sexuality and Breastfeeding” and the educational pamphlet “How to help yourself through labor". She is writes for her blog, Morning Thoughts (www.nikkileehealth.com/blogmorningthoughts/), and updates her page, NikkiLeeHealth.

Newborns are the original immigrants. Everything about the world outside the womb is new and strange for them. Keep them close, breastfeed and bedshare safely to make their new world a sweet one.
