Of course the comments that have been made do not refer to those people who
are not misrepresenting their background. In some places, this
misrepresentation does occur, however,..In my area, it is assumed that
nurses are knowledgeable about bf, ...and in my experience, this is not
universally true. In my nursing school, you would have had to learn it from
osmosis...

Warmly,
