Let me preface this by saying that it is only a question and I am not sharing my thoughts either way.
I wanted to know what you all think about Lactation Consultants who have never breastfed before? Do you think a LC who has never personally breastfed can be as effective a LC as one who has?
Also, I do not think there are any in existence (other than the one on "The Office"), but what would you all think about male LCs?
I was thinking about this over the weekend because I know some LCs who have never breastfed, or have any children for that matter and I am interested on getting your thoughts.
Thanks!
Julia Augur IBCLC, RLC
