Betreff: LC's diagnosing

Received a press release from ILCA a while ago about what LC's should and should not say to avoiding diagnosing. They gave examples of tongue tie, mastitis, etc. Does anyone know where I could get a copy of this. Having trouble finding on their website. It had very good examples. Wondering also what everything thinks about LC's or RN's describing infant's as having oral dysfunction or oral aversion. Does this go beyond the scope of our practice? Is this a diagnosis?
