The individual hawking her services did not mention that she was IBCLC
anywhere I could see on her site.  Seems a case of yet another
self-proclaimed "expert" manipulating the system to make a profit.  And no, I
don't think you are being overly sensitive, Barbara - Lactation Consulting has
 to be a calling and I guess I'm overly suspicious or jealous of anybody who
is able to really make a decent living as just that!
