I teach breastfeeding classes as the back-up instructor for another IBCLC. Our hospital has had two management changes in the last couple of years, and they work closely with Healthnet and other managed care groups on developing our prenatal curriculums. Recently they tried to cut the BF class down to 1 1/2 hours, and we had to beg for 2-2 1/2 hours. As it is, the class is at a frantic pace, and working issues can't be covered at all. We aren't exactly making big bucks teaching, but the money still seems to be an issue. And, as others have noted, many mothers go home without having a successful latch-on; it is so frustrating! -Lisa Lisa A.
