Re:tug-of-war between doctors and nurses/LC as a barrier to physicians learning about bf in medical school. I don't think tug-of-war existed because nobody knew enough about lactation to even have an opinion. Drug/formula reps paying for conferences probably is the main reason breastfeeding education is not offered in medical school. I did not even know what a lactation consultant was until I had my first baby.Over a year after I finished residency. I did not know what a doula was until my second pregnancy.
