Susan I could not agree with you more.  I have always admired  Paula Meier's 
work.  On a personal note, I wish she embraced the IBCLC as a  needed 
credential.  Last time I checked, she was not certified.   We all take different 
roads, and although she has connected with  formula companies where others would 
not, she has also conducted very  important breastfeeding research and assisted 
so many premie  moms.  Aside from trusting her moms, she went one step further 
and  conducted research that confirmed that those "less educated" moms were 
more  accurately measuring creamatocrit than she or her own staff.  Her  
conclusion:  the measurement was much more important to the mother than the  staff.  
The mother had more emotional investment in the task.
