Dear Debbie, I think it is because IBCLCs do not have formal training, as
opposed to a nurse/LC, who at least has nursing tx. Probably has to do
with the particular hospital's idea of liability. There are a number of
non RN LCs working in US hospitals. Licensing is another whole issue and I
think I remember that it wouldn't help us. Can't remember why. Sincerely,
Pat in SNJ
