on their own opinions alone, when it comes  to  infant feeding. That
would not be tolerated in any other area of care such as  wound care,
taking blood pressures, or helping with other activities of daily
living: there are normative standards, and everyone agrees what they
are and  knows how to help someone on the path to achieving them. <
