Hey -- I find this a problem all the time.  Oh, I try so hard to be clean and
pure, but it is hard not to want to share with a mom the info I have for
products that will work better than others whether it is a nursing pillow or a
type of pump, etc.  I truly do not want to be interpreted as being
profit-motivated but I am always afraid that this may be the case.  On the other hand, when
I say and offer nothing and my client leaves with only the exact item that she
or he came for, I feel I have not done them a real service because now, she
doesn't know that these things exist which might make life easier or better for
her... Such the dilemma!  Thanks, Ann Conlon-Smith, IBCLC
