Do you answer > first as a LC or leader? I've been thinking about how I plan to handle this if the situation ever arises down the road, and have been reading the LLL guidelines. Is it unreasonable to use a different name for your LC services (name or street name Lactation Services or something) and have a different phone number? Sometimes it doesn't even require a separate line; a different ring might be sufficient. Not too expensive, if you don't have special features added to that number -- you can always make long distance calls, etc. from the other line, blocking your name or number display. This way, mothers would either be calling the number they see on the LLL posters / info. or the other one, with no confusion. The guidelines suggest that it is the initial contact that counts the most, i.e. if a mother phones LLL, no matter what services you provide thereafter are voluntary. If, on the other hand, she contacts you as an LC and discovers you are an LLLL, I think it is reasonable to suggest that your relationship with her is as an LC. I suppose there may be some crossover, if someone calls you once as an LC and then ends up being an active Group worker or something, but obviously any questions she asks at meetings would be answered in your LLLL role. I imagine PLs have more info. about this kind of thing (and may well be in that situation themselves). If you find out, please post!
