I'm posting this for Carole Peterson -- for some reason her posts  keep 
being rejected by Lactnet, as do her requests for help...
 
 
Please let's look and this question and evaluate each step or  portion   of 
 
the question.

Don't mothers weigh their  babies?   Hmmm  I think they do. It  appears  
the  real question here is  what to do  with the information  received  
from  
weighing.  And of course,  anyone doing the weighing  would  be trained to 
use  the scale in the  clinic. Weighing  a baby is part of  the WIC   
visit. 
WIC Peer  Counselors  have to attend the Peer Counselor   training. At  
this   
training, all peer counselors are taught to  yield or  refer  to  their  
Breastfeeding 
Coordinator, which  all WIC Clinics  are   required to have. These 
Coordinators are  
either  RNs or  RDs.

WIC  Peer counselors are not functioning in  a vacuum, they are  part  of a 
 
team. And the Breastfeeding  Coordinator is  required to  refer any 
problems 
to   the  HCP.
