Just wanted to add that I appreciate the comments about the ibclc seeing the normal dyads too, the comments about most births being abnormal anyway, about maybe missing something if we don't see the moms. All points well taken. Surely, in the hospital setting, if the hosp were truly baby friendly {where I picture the moms and babies in bed together all the time}, the ibclc is not needed to see every mom? I would prefer to bustle around promoting, supporting, learning, teaching, training, and only consulting with the dyads with problems. My dream. Laurie Wheeler, RN, MN, IBCLC Violet Louisiana, s.e.
