like Lactogenesis  II.  When she called her OB he told her to pump  and store
the  milk.  She called the hospital and spoke to the IBCLC there  who  told
her
to absolutely NOT pump>>
 
 
WHAT?  You mean this IBCLC DARED  to contradict the health care provider??  
The OB said to pump and the IBCLC  said NOT TO?  Oh. My. Goodness.  In blatant 
disregard of the  IBLCE SOP which is still up on the Australian website so it 
ISN'T gone, even if  it is off the U.S. one.  Remember, this is INTERNATIONAL, 
so the SOP is  still in force....
 
Oh, but maybe the IBCLC didn't know  she wasn't supposed to give correct 
information if it contradicted the OB  because maybe she didn't have a chance to 
look at the IBLCE website, and maybe  she wasn't one of the ones that 
certified/recertified this year so didn't get a  copy of it.
 
Ah -- but ignorance of the law  doesn't mean diddly squat.  That won't wash 
in court.
 
My, my, what ARE we to do?  I  hope this IBCLC treads very carefully.  After 
all, despite the dire things  that could have happened with this 
previa/abruption about to take place if she  pumps -- the IBCLC dared to tell her not to do 
it.  In direct  violation....
 
I shudder to think of the  consequences.
