Author Jacob Engelsman shares his new book Lactation for the Rest of Us, a guide for transmasculine parents, transfeminine parents, non-binary parents, queer parents, adoptive parents, and others who are often left out of conversations about chestfeeding.

Covering the induction of lactation, difficulties one may encounter with chestfeeding, expert advice, and first-person testimonials, Lactation for the Rest of Us is the book the queer parenting community has been waiting for. At a time when the US government is rolling back trans health in devastating ways, this book offers queer and trans people access to leading-edge information about bodily autonomy!

Jacob has spoken for The National Midwifery Institute, the United States Lactation Consultant Association, and the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses on topics including lactation support and supporting gender and sexual diversity in healthcare. jacobengelsmanibclc.com
