Hi Liz,
Oooh this seat is warm!
Well I'm not an LC but I do talk to a lot of mums who are relactating or
inducing lactation. I never make promises and I also don't construct plans.
I do tell mums what we know about how breastfeeding works and what sort of
action might maximise success. I do tell her what the research or experience
of mums says about what might be the likely outcome given what she
anticipates she might do. I do say that it's not possible to predict what
might happen but that she's got as good a chance as anyone else. I do
encourage her to think about proceeding so that she has no regrets
regardless of outcome. And yes, I think I'm a pretty good cheerer!

Subject: prolactin receptors and our drifting conversation
Back to square one -- and putting Karleen and Marcia on the hot seat: Would
you two tell the doe-eyed weepy Mom "You will absolutely get 100% of the
needed supply, if you follow my plan. Guaranteed. The body is amazing and
it is never too late. You just have to give it the old college try."
Now -- I am being a bit flip here to make my point. Lactation (like
everything) falls on a Bell Curve, does it not? How can we *ethically*
promise a mother that following an intense care plan, to the letter, will
give her results? Someone has to be out-lier who doesn't produce, despite
the plan. Just like there has to be the out-lier who will make buckets of
milk inthe blink of an eye.
