Jean, This is a terrible twisty tale. Frustration levels are showing with everyone. Cannot WIC mediate in this and get docs together and discuss? Everyone is on their own railway line and the lines never meet, no listening is going on here, which is complicated with lactation/breastfeeding ignorance on docs part. Can someone from WIC go with the mother on these visits to the docs? I realise these may sound like silly questions but I have little understanding of how the system works in the US and who makes up/works in WIC. My bestest wishes for this mum and for you as the onlooker/enabler. regards, Helen Woodman, NCT BfC, Storrington, West Sussex, UK.
