Sherie, I took part in this discussion under the assumption that aside from physical reasons for not being able to BF, what are the other barriers to BFing. Having read through some of the submissions, it would seem that we are talking about social barriers - education, advertising, poor support etc.
I don't think this thread is meant to deal with all the issues to do with BFing, no-one is aiming to fix anyone else. It's about what we perceive the barriers to be, once we've decided we're not talking about the women who just can NOT BF. Kelly really does spell this out in her submission, and the submission is the catalyst for the thread.
ETA: Sorry, it's taking ages between starting my posts and submitting them (I'm supposed to be writing an assignment!), so by the time I submit, there is usually a few posts between the one I'm responding to!
Yes, when I suggested Medicare funded LC's, I meant the ones with the international qualification, the one that matters to me. And I was deadly serious - how could an LC not be as important as a psychologist or medical practitioner? It's a specialty that affects public health!
