Mary has asked about any references to the recommended ratio of LCs to patients in hospitals. The best article I have seen on this is:

Mannel R, Mannel RS. Staffing for hospital lactation programs: recommendations from a tertiary care teaching hospital. Journal of Human Lactation 2006; 22:409-417

Marsha Walker, RN, IBCLC
