Just wanted to let you know how we are currently basing our coverage (which
may or may not last!) It is from: Journal of Human Lactation Volume 22 Number
4 November 2006 which states: IBCLC FTE Ratio: Mother/baby coverage
inpatient 1:783 breastfeeding couplets, NICU coverage 1:235 neonates. The
whole article is awesome and if you haven't seen it, RUN and find it.
The 1:1,000 I believe came from the "Brown Bible" of Lactation "Breastfeeding
and Human Lactation"
Hope this helps!
