Small but Mighty...Super What I love about this little bad boy is it contains all you need to know during placement and even after placement. Have done my first placement and going for second and I am punching myself why I did not buy it for my first. If you are in doubt, just go ahead and purchase it. It gives you that little reminder and if you don't know, it will teach you. It comes with NEWS2 chart and Waterlow pressure chart..bargain!! Amazon 5-star review
