My opinion about what to wear is to dress professionally and  
appropriately for the area you serve.  I have mixed feelings about  
the scrubs.  Although I'm sure people associate them with  
cleanliness, unless there is new information out there, I remember  
studies in which women who thought that breastfeeding needed to be  
taught and managed by a medical professional found that idea to be a  
barrier.  I associate scrubs with hospitals and clinics and for a  
lactation consultant to dress in scrubs definitely makes it seem more  
medical.
