Someone needs to be aware of, and in charge of the "big picture".   I would hope that is the patient herself - but that happens rarely.  I would doubt that every patient tells her lactation consultant every detail about her medical history or medications, nor does every lactation consultant ask for a complete medical history.  I am not trying to medicalize breastfeeding.  All is not normal and physiologic if the woman needs to see an LC!
