Bravo and well said! It seems however, that many IBCLCs don't have the
essentially varied background that you describe!

I agree that the hospital practice and initiation is not all there is.
However, if we can help with initiation, breastfeeding has a better chance.
since we started seeing all our breastfeeding moms, we have seen a large
increase in women still breastfeeding at 3 months. We see outpatients also
and handle phone calls in all stages of breastfeeding. We go all over the
hospital when a breastfeeding mother is admitted for any reason. I would say
my best skill is in managing the early days, and I really do not apologize
for it.
