I am sorry - but I have to make a comment here.  As a CLE and IBCLC I have
one big question:  Since when does a CLE 'rule' over an IBCLC???  Maybe that
is just hospital politics (the main reason I stay exclusively in private
practice...).  But, as a CLE I was taught that we are to be teaching and
educating mothers not HIDING information that could help a mother.  Where
does informed decision/consent come in here??  As an LC we are bound by our
ethics and committment to moms to give the support and information they
need.  Something ain't right here...

I agree with Laurie - ethics committee is a good place to go with this one,
or even over the CLE's head (for inappropriate treatment of a patient) if
you can't gently educate her about informed consent, and appropriate
compassion for a grief stricken mother desperate to provide milk for her
baby, looking for answers and being denied at every turn.  Horrid...

If I were the mom I'd be filing a major compliant...as soon as I was able
to.

irritated in Sac...yeah - this touched a nerve with me.
