Dear Trisha,
I think the key is to avoid "recommending" anything and just share
accurate medical and/or clinical based information. The LLL phrase "many
mothers have found..." serves well. Also, giving the mothers
"suggestions that some mothers have found to help" and asking mothers to
"consider" some options. You also need to know your stuff. For herbs as
an example, you should not "suggest" an herb that may be harmful to that
particular mother. You need to fully understand what you are
"suggesting" before you suggest it.
Warmly,
