Is it in the scope of practice for a lactation consultant to recommend and encourage the use of herbs?  Medications for breastfeeding?  My training workshop that I took said that this is NOT in the scope of our practice and I am a bit timid recommending these when I know that a mother could benefit from them after all other options are tried.

What do you girls think?  How do you handle this?
