Jack's humorous note about what moms call gentian violet brought to mind some other interesting names that moms come up with. I have been referred to as the following: Lactitian Lactating Nurse Lactating consultant Boob nurse (by a NICU nurse, maybe somewhat passive aggressive??) and, of course, by my partner's name, frequently, by staff who cannot be bothered to remember that we are individuals.....however, I do not care what they call me...only THAT they call me!! Any one have other impressive or descriptive "titles" to add to that list???
