I think that uniform policy is a great idea.
At Westmead the midwives who had extra training in lactation (and other issues) had it on thier badges under thier names so they were easy to identify.
I think hospitals need more LCs on staff and I think that a LC should visit each Mum and Bub the same way that the paed, physio and hearing people do. It's silly that the pead comes to you but the LC doesn't.
Maybe if they did this they could identify the women who genuinly can't BF quickly so that they can move onto plan B (expressing &/or formula) ASAP with a minimum of pain, fuss and guilt.
