Yes that's what LC's are supposed to do, but what percentage of women with issues actually get referred to and then choose to see an LC?

if we treated lack of milk supply as a serious issue that needs all the full force of investigation and treatment that we apply to - say - erectile dysfunction - rather than patting women on the back and saying formula is almost as good and your baby will be fine because I was formula fed and I am OBVIOUSLY just fine - should we not be able to discuss all options for moms, if we are truly lactation consultants and not just breastfeeding cheerleaders?
Jane,
Silly me, I thought this is exactly what IBCLCs would do...I love the phrase "the full force of investigation and treatment", and that is exactly what moms should be able to expect from us as professionals. They can say no, but it seems like the expectation for normalcy should always be in place.
Interestingly, the two men I know who use Viagra are both older men, one with a long drug history and the other a smoker ( therefore both may have compromised circulatory systems) who simply feel they cannot keep up with their lovers...talk about not going with the normal course/consequences of things. I do know one person who considered it after Prostate surgery though.
Peace,
Judy
