Dear Friends:
    Peer counselors are great outreach for a  facility, and most moms don't 
need lactation consultants. There should be a few  lactation consultants on 
hand for special cases, where hands-on is required:  medical illness or condition 
of mother or baby, intensive care, and if any  breastfeeding aides or devices 
are required.
    For the rest, peers would be wonderful. Our local WIC  used to have peer 
counselors in the hospital in the 90s. Excellent  situation.
    Getting them into the facility took some work and  organization between 
hospital staff and the WIC staff; this is doable and  actually wonderful as 
there will be mothers who qualify for WIC in the hospital  and continuity of care 
can actually occur!
    warmly,
