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
