Judy, you can let mothers know about this business without
compromising your own ethics, as long as you don't enter into an
agreement with them in which *you* get paid when a mother uses their
services. They ought to be willing to give your clients the 10%
discount, and as long as you personally have nothing to gain by it, it
passes yours truly's smell test. I have a notoriously sensitive nose
:-)
You can also tell your clients whatever you know about their prices.
It might be they have an artificially inflated rate schedule so that
the 10% discount puts them at the same level as other businesses who
aren't trying to cozy up to IBCLCs. And it might be it's a good deal
for those women who need the products. Make sure the mothers know how
this company tried to approach you and that you did not take the bait.
