Of course, Anita, I also teach things like how to use skin to skin, eye contact, switching sides to all mothers who ask for my help. I, likewise, give them pertinent data on ABM such as the NEED to sterilize the ABM if they choose to use powdered, the problems with DHA and AHA, and WHERE these come from in ABM (fungus and sea weed) etc. Mainly, info NO ON ELSE is going to give them about the truth about artificial milk. 

But, from where I sit, this is a far from from "Teaching how to mix and use formula." 

Maybe there is a difference in practice between hospital based and community based LCs? Maybe I'm just too Old School.
