And the fact is that there are others out there calling themselves LC's and causing harm - yes they need to be stopped (many of them are in the hospitals.ouch!). Dear Friends: While the new SoP certainly poses challenges and difficulties for us, and needs to be revised, there are also IBCLCs out there whose methods are causing harm. There is no way to control for practitioner quality. Even licensed ones. As with all human activity, some practitioners are outstanding and most are acceptable. And a few I wouldn't permit to attend my pet. Neither certification nor licensure is a guarantee of quality. warmly, Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE Adjunct Faculty, Union Institute and University, Lactation Program Film Reviews Editor, Journal of Human Lactation www.breastfeedingalwaysbest.com *********************************************** 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 email list is powered by LISTSERV (R).
