Linda,
Your idea of lactation assistants is interesting. A few months ago our medical
director suggested the same thing for us in the hospital lactation center. It
is a good idea, but we have not really looked into doing it. Has anyone else?
A closely supervised breastfeeding educator could be a real help--telephone
screening, pump rentals and instruction, back to work appointments, etc. The
wild and wooly cases would be handled by the IBCLC.
