Finding Sufficiency: Breastfeeding With Insufficient Glandular Tissue
Diana Cassar-Uhl
2014
This thoughtful and compassionate book offers guidance, research, and emotional validation for those navigating breastfeeding with Insufficient Glandular Tissue (IGT). Diana Cassar-Uhl draws on her experience as both a lactation consultant and a mother, providing practical strategies alongside deep insight into the emotional complexities of breastfeeding with low milk supply.
Why It’s Included
Breastfeeding with IGT can be a painful and isolating experience. This book centres the needs of those often overlooked in breastfeeding discussions, offering both empathy and evidence-based information. It aligns with our core belief that every breastfeeding journey is valid, and that support must be grounded in understanding, not judgement.
Who It’s For
Parents who suspect or know they have IGT, and those experiencing unexplained low milk supply. Also recommended for lactation professionals and peer supporters wanting to better understand the impact of IGT on families and how best to support them.
“I heard Diana Cassar-Uhl speak on this topic in Melbourne in 2015 and this book explores further the rare occasions when a women physically cannot produce enough breastmilk to exclusively breastfeed her child. And offers option to partially breastfeed while supplementing and how this is still beneficia to mother and infant.”
