Hi, All: One other situation I have been caught in the midst of on occasion is a mother who "shops around" and is comparing notes between LCs. If I find out, either from the mother herself or the other LC(s) that this mom has been seen already, I refuse to take her on, unless she is ready to commit to one LC. I think this avoids "conflicting" advice and potential awkwardness between all involved. Styles of practice can differ greatly with none being wrong, but that is not necessarily what the mother will perceive.
