In another year I can start putting my stuff together to qualify to 
take the exam.  I always assumed it was the logical step up from my 
current set of initials, and a good way to gain formal employment for 
doing what I already do for free.  Now I am not sure at all.

As it stands, I can give moms loads of information by phone, email, or 
in person.  I am not limited to lactation concerns only, and I *always* 
ask about the perineum, healing incisions, and other postpartum health 
concerns.  I freely make referrals, but I do not report to any hcp as 
an authority over me, and I do not hesitate to graciously provide 
correct info where incorrect has been given.

The new SoP is dismaying to me, and I sure hope it gets changed before 
I have to decide what to do about it.
