Let’s get real: a breastfeeding makeover is long overdue. From the creator of the popular lactation website Physician Guide to Breastfeeding comes a companion resource guaranteed to calm the postpartum chaos and stop lactastrophes before they start.
Forget the hacks, hashtags, and home remedies. Dr. Katrina Mitchell uses the no-nonsense approach of a surgeon and years of work as a breast and women’s health specialist to fact-check the fake news of lactation and bring breastfeeding back to the basics. Whether a mom is suffering from recurrent “plugs” and mastitis or drowning in the dark depths of triple feeding, she’ll no longer need to query Google nor question whom to trust.
With compassion, clarity, and common sense, Dr. Mitchell examines the status quo of making milk at all costs, shifting the focus from breastfeeding “success” to breastfeeding sanity. Learn why devoted patients, healthcare providers, and lactation consultants have called Dr. Mitchell the “boob whisperer,” and you’ll never click the breastfeeding search button again.

About The Author
Becker Mitchell
Trained in a rigorous New York City surgery program and later in breast oncology at the country’s top cancer center, Dr. Katrina B. Mitchell was headed toward a career in academic medicine. But after becoming a single mother who returned to work at five weeks postpartum, breastfeeding provided the lifeline to her tiny infant at home and resulted in a career-altering turn. Alongside her surgical practice, she began to build a large breastfeeding medicine and lactation clinic as well as to pursue further training to treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Today, she is the world’s expert on the intersection of lactation with surgery and breast cancer, and has authored over fifty academic manuscripts and multiple book chapters. She has lectured in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia and is a frequent speaker with the American Society of Breast Surgeons. Described as a “force of positive disruption in the lactation world,” Dr. Mitchell uses her unparalleled breast expertise to challenge age-old misconceptions and advocate for change in the field. Her website, The Physician Guide to Breastfeeding, has become a leading resource for physicians, lactation consultants, and new families alike.

"In Go With the Flow, Dr. Katrina Mitchell not only beautifully communicates the current mismatch between the modern world and our essential human biology, she offers the ultimate compilation of clear, compassionate, scientifically credentialed breastfeeding how-to guidance that did not exist before this moment. This is the book—and Mitchell the doctor—American women have been waiting for." --Jennifer Grayson, author of Unlatched: The Evolution of Breastfeeding and the Making of a Controversy
"At a time when new mothers are bombarded with conflicted advice and endless products promising breastfeeding success, Dr. Mitchell brings much-needed clarity and common sense to the conversation. With compassion, humor, and a deep commitment to evidence-based care, she dismantles myths and helps mothers reclaim trust in their bodies and their instincts. She reminds us that breastfeeding exists within the larger context of a mother's well-being and that supporting mothers with sound medical guidance and respect for their emotional experience is the foundation of healthy families. This is an invaluable resource for parents and the professionals who care for them." --Karen Kleiman, Founder, The Postpartum Stress Center, and author of the bestselling Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts
