Good for you, Anna,

Thank you for continuing to meet a mother's needs right where she is.
 Sometimes a mother needs the anonymity of a telephone call or an
email to work up the courage to face "the expert".  Sometimes a
mother needs to feel that she worked through a situation by herself,
using the information she attained through her own efforts on the
internet.  You serve a valuable place in our promotion of
breastfeeding.  And thank you for the assurance that women are
referred to appropriate people in their geographical area.

Thank you, also, for not criticizing another's instructions.  I
learned a long time ago that I can't criticize what I didn't see.
There's no way of knowing what the LC saw, heard and understood
during a consult with a mother.  What I see may be several days later
with only the mother's reports of what has happened in the meantime.
And, just as I may re-evaluate a previous LC's work, she will most
assuredly have the opportunity to re-evaluate mine!  Let's be kind to each other.

Keep up the good work, Anna.
