Janet Simpson describes a lactation consultant who insists on putting babies
to her own breast in order to do a suck assessment (among other things).
 This is clearly not an acceptable practice.  A complaint can be made in
writing to the IBLCE Discipline Committee.  Only written, signed statements
can be accepted.  Write to:  IBLCE, Discipline Committee,  P O Box 2348,
Falls Church  VA  22042-0348  USA.  IBLCE's most important mission is to
protect the health of breastfeeding mothers and babies, and safe and
effective lactation consultant practice is certainly a critical element in
that protection.

Jay, I really enjoyed your other comments about trying to get publicity for
LCs.  Thanks for some great suggestions, and I'll hope to see some more on
LactNet!
