This is a rant, not an answer. Why must non-profit organizations or those 
that fund grants pay for a public health issue? I know, I know, hardly 
anyone wants to pay for breastfeeding help. Not the hospital, not the 
insurance companies, not the parents, not even many WIC agencies. I feel we 
are going backwards day by day. My suggestion is to get moms to start 
demanding that the hospital provide them with good BF services and to find 
out which executive they should be calling or writing to. (We all say this 
but I don't see my clients ever doing such a thing.) I do know of a 
situation that happened in 2005 but not in my town where just one mom made 
such a big stink about the poor BF services in the NICU that the hospital 
took notice, listened to her suggestions when an executive met with her, and 
invited an LLL Group to meet there at the hospital.
Good luck, Kathy Eng, BSW, IBCLC
