Here, here, Laurie. I have even had clients tell me that the Lactation
Consultant I saw yesterday( me) said "..." a statement that I never made,
or completely misinterpreted. That's why I'm so adamant on written
materials. I also think a picture makes more of an impact.
On universal precautions. Health departments can have quite an impact both
state, county and local, on regulations concerning breastmilk. We cannot
have breastmilk in any food or medicine refrigerator. It really is a strain
for staff and clients. Many staff members end up hiding breastmilk in
lunchbags etc. Extra expense of a refrigerator is a problem too.
