<I tell them to compare lactation knowledge to literacy.   The average
experienced breastfeeding mother knows enough to take care of her own
needs.
  Say, she reads bf at a fourth grade level.     I've been studying and
worrying this topic for a lot longer, and have looked at more people's
stories, over say four years; I figure I'm around the eighth grade
level.>

<But an IBCLC has the equivalent of a 4-year college degree in English
literature.>

As usual, diplomatically put, Elisheva. Thank you for your confidence.

<We need more people at every level of lactation knowledge in the world.>

Amen!

Always still trying to keep pace with bf "literacy",

Jean
