The current issue has an article in it entitled, "Milk it! A day in the Life of a Lactation Consultant." This article marginalizes, mocks and completely undermines what we do. The author is a woman who gave birth to twins and decided not to nurse them and is clearly working out her guilt (she states within the opening paragraphs, "I...wanted my body to myself as soon as they were out of me, thankyouverymuch."). The women she followed for a few days are colleagues of mine and are completely mis-represented and mis-quoted. My colleague will no doubt get in touch with the necessary organizational advocates, but I encourage all of you to somehow get ahold of this article (try not to purchase the magazine!) and write to the editor.
