Wise Ones: Given: 1)that the exam is in a multiple choice format; 2)the exam is meant to apply to situations world-wide; and 3)the controversy surrounding Vit D supplementation for breastfed babies here in the US, how would an exam candidate be expected to answer a question about the BEST Vit D source (for a breastfed infant older than 2 or 3 months) if two of the choices included a) routine supplementation w/Vit D and b)synthesis by the skin in the presence of sunlight? While this question may never even come up on the exam, I am, admittedly, totally confused about the viewpoint that the IBLCE, or ILCA may have. Is there a clear professional opinion here in the US? Does a world-wide view exist? Please, someone wiser, could you clear my confusion for me? And please comment on what a board certified LC (here in the US) would professionally be expected to do if a client asked for advice in this situation. Are we mandated to follow the AAP position or is it a violation of the Standards of Practice to neglect to provide clients with enough information to make informed decisions? I am Niki, a totally confused exam candidate, and would sincerely appreciate advice on this topic. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
