dear deb wirtel,
no, you are not a trained medical professional, you are a trained medical
paraprofessional! just because us LLL types do it for free does not mean our
background is inferior. your interest in lactnet shows that you are constantly
looking to learn more, which is the hallmark of a true professional.
and i am sure you see many examples of trained medical professionals that know
less than you about lactation.
