Thank you, Kerry.  You have captured one of the main ideas behind my 'one 
IBCLC for each childbearing woman' proposal.

I fear many here have been shaken up by my words and feel somewhat 
threatened.  But, I think it's a classic 'can't see the forest for the trees' 
situation.  Instead of looking at the FACTS and FIGURES and seeing the truth 
that lies therein, human nature dictates that we jump to defend our own 
position.

I'm not and never have negated the importance of ANYONE who works with 
mothers and babies.  All am I doing is stating the obvious:  Something more 
must be done.

Blessings!
