Nikki and others, 

Maybe you misunderstood my post.  I BELIEVE CST works, and therefor refer many clients.  I want what is the best for their breastfeeding.  This respected pediatrician in my community thinks it is a crock, and just wasting mothers’ money.  He was surprised that I “would buy into that ridiculousness.”    How would you intelligently explain what CST does and how it helps the baby.  And saying it is placebo but works does not sound very medical.  And I don’t believe it is placebo.  We work hard as breastfeeding professionals to be looked at as scientific, medical and evidence based.  Our profession prides ourselves on this.  So I was just wondering how to explain a technique that we refer to intelligently and without sounding like an idiot. 😊
