It's a sad truth that IBCLC skills are lacking. SO many are handing out quick tips, showing you some latch techniques, and giving moral support. That's fine, but it's hardly where the "gold standard" of lactation care is supposed to end. In reality, we're REQUIRED to show clinical competency in all areas of feeding, development and reflexes, hormonal processes, nutrition, and more! Some IBCLCs will throw their hands up and say "Go see OT, maybe they can help with some suck training to help." Are

Krystal Duhaney RN, IBCLC | Lactation Consultant on Instagram: "If you’re a breastfeeding mom heading to your 6-week postpartum checkup, listen up. At this appointment you’ll usually get the “all clear” to resume sex, and your provider may also bring up birth control.

Those options contain progesterone, and progesteron
