Thanks for sharing the info...I can't believe that someone can deny that
as a LC you do not provide patient care. I am a pediatric nurse
practitioner...and the intimate contact that I provide in assisting a
mom with breastfeeding has been the most difficult contact/paatient care
skills that I have had to learn during my career! I really enjoy
providing lactation support, but I had to learn to feel comfortable in
the role because, as we all know, breastfeeding support is one of the
most intimate and emotionally charged direct care activities in hospital
and community health.....which is why there are so few lactation support
people available!
