I know a formula rep that was paid to go to a CLC course - which she passed the exam on.  She was so proud of herself!  She continued to tout her product and sell, sell, sell  ---- until ---- she had a baby, breastfed, and resigned! Ha! Breastfeeding wins!

Subject: what Nestle says about its educational support for mothers

Dear Friends:

An excerpt:

"Nestle answers:

The contact center for Nestle Infant Nutrition has a staff of feeding experts including registered dietitians and breastfeeding educators. All registered Nestlé Infant Nutrition call center dietitians are members of the American Dietetic Association (ADA) and have an average of ten years of experience in Pediatric Nutrition. Our Breastfeeding Educators have completed their certification requirements through UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles UCLA Extension) and The Lactation Institute. The program provides both comprehensive "hands-on" and theoretical training. The length of the time it takes to complete the program varies, as is the case with many educational endeavors, however certification is granted only when all requirements for certification have been met. Our breastfeeding educators are not board certified by IBCLC."


What do you all think?

warmly,
