I'd like to bring us back to the subject matter at hand and that was fees for
services rendered versus so-called free services. It was not my intent to
stray off into an RN, non-RN, IBCLC, non-IBCLC, etc., etc. discussion. To
further clarify my opinion on certification and licensure. I'm in total
agreement that credentialing doesn't make the practitioner. I believe there
are RN/IBCLC's who practice less effectively than an experienced volunteer or
non-RN/IBCLC. It is not the credentials that guarentee "best practice".
When I was breastfeeding my colicky daughter, it was the LaLeche League
leaders whom I sought for support and counseling, and I have lots of respect
for them. I'm trying to discuss the viewpoint of the public, though. It's
been my experience that when a hospital-based RN/IBCLC offers free services
and my services in my private practice are associated with fees that
sometimes the public gets confused. I'd be interested in hearing people's
opinions on this matter. How do you suggest we handle these issues as a
separate entity; namely as lactation consultants?
