We all serve a vital purpose in the community. In or out of the hospital. Going to LLL before or after birth may help prevent problems after birth. Education is the Key and Someone with accurate info to support moms , i think that is what LLL does... I think I remember here on lact net someone saying that"with enuff information Motivation and Support any one can breast feed...." LLL and other lay people, as well as Prof. Lc's, Rn's and docs ALL contribute to a successful breastfeeding community. None of us hold the monopoly on the "market" We all need each other. No one has all the answers. Diane Barnes Maternal Expressions Michigan
