Greetings, I would appreciate some input on an issue that has me in a quandry. I am an hospital-based LC and have worked with a mother after each of her babies were born. She delivered at the hospital "across town" and they don't have a Lactation Program. Her physician referred her to me when she had difficulties nursing her first baby. I recently received a wonderful thank you note from her expressing her gratitude, and enclosed in the envelope was a $50 gift certificate to a local restaurant. While I'm grateful to have received her note (it made my week!), I don't know how to handle the gift card. I've thought of three options: 1.)send it back to her explaining that I can't accept it, 2.) use it to treat the other LCs to lunch one day, 3.) use it personally. I really don't know what to do. Have you had a situation like this? I'd appreciate hearing how others handle generous thank you gifts such as this.
