I tell moms what I have heard from others: Many mother's have found "X" to be
uncomfortable, traumatizing to the nipple, and not to mention not getting any
milk for their effort. I also try to "test" the equipment out there so I can
better explain it's use to a mother (if she needs it). I cannot live in fear
of lawsuits (besides, the company would have to prove to me that their
product was NOT inferior).
<<If on the other hand you say something wonderful about a particular pump
and you also sell that product(what I said in previous post), you are
indirectly acting like a sales person for that company. >>
Why not tell moms about a superior product? I would want to be informed of
what most people find to be the best. Saves a lot of aggravation and pain
(form using inferior products).
<<Doctors may talk about a particular brand of drugs but usually he/she sends
the
client to a pharmacy to buy that particular drug. Usually the doctor does
not directly benefit from that sale.>>
No, he doesn't benefit from the sale but he/she is providing information
about the integrity of drug X.
Would you recommend a product that was proven more effective and withhold
information about an inferior product or would you say "Gee, I don't want to
be a sales person for that company or bash that one because they might sue me
so I'll let the consumer find out for herself."
<<She said to me that the pump couldn't be causing the soreness
because it was the best pump available. She dismissed the soreness
because she believed soreness is a normal condition when you
breastfeed/pump.>>
Sounds like she needed further education. Perhaps this is something she
heard from a friend who used an inferior pump which DID cause soreness.
