just wondering really. quite a few of my friends have had first babies recently and had problems with bf, so I've always suggested speaking to a bf counsellor. when they tell me the advice they've been given, i sometimes wish I hadn't bothered and had just told them to check out mn or kellymom. are there a lot more untrained/part trained bf counsellors out there or is it just bad luck? the problem is that once they've been to a bf workshop/drop in and been told something, eg that they have a low milk supply or that the latch is good so there's no reason for her to be having problems, end of, then it's really hard to suggest other things that could be causing the problem. I suspect there are a lot of untrained/badly trained counsellors out there - am I just imagining it??
I think it's great the way people volunteer for this but part of me wonders whether poor advice is worse than no advice.
