Hear, hear on Diana's tear-provoking post that mothers are entitled to
information and support about their situation (here, insufficient glandular
tissue) -- information good, bad, and "maybe."

IBCLCs are indeed **required** to provide such data, so the mother can make
a fully-informed decision about her own situation.  See in particular:
IBLCE Code of Ethics principles 1, 4, 7, 9, **11**, 12, **18**, 23
IBLCE Scope of Practice fo IBCLCs paras. 2, 3, **4**, **5**, 8

IBCLCs are **encouraged** to provide such information, under the
best-practices described in the ILCA Standards of Practice, in particular:
Standards 1.4, 1.5, 3.1, 3.2, ***3.3.1***, 3.4, **4.1**. 4.2, **4.3**,
**4.4**, 4.5
