Does anyone know where exactly that is written?*** I was just at the IBLCE web site and found the Code of Ethics listing two points particually pertinent to your dilemma and are written as follows ... " 5.) Remain free of conflict of interest while fulfilling the objectives and maintaining the integrity of the lactation consultant profession." and " 17.) Disclose any financial or other conflicts of interest in relevant organizations providing goods or services. Ensure that professional judgement is not influenced by any commercial considerations." I found the above information listed at www.ibcle.org/coe.html Just wanted to wish you the best Esther .. you are in my prayers! Go get 'em!! Sincerely ...
