[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if OP meant lactation consultants when she said lactavists with certifications. I’ll never forget at my baby friendly hospital after giving birth to #2 who had low blood sugar so we were supplementing with a teeny amount of formula plus breastfeeding around the clock to avoid a NICU stay. I requested an LC to help me with a latch issue and when she came I explained we were combo feeding because of low blood sugar and that I planned to combo feed anyways because I had serious supply issues with my first, visited 3 lactation consultants, did all the things, and my baby still wouldn’t gain unless I supplemented. I managed to make it 8 months by combo feeding my first. So with my LC for my second I was like, listen I just need help with latch. That’s it. We are combo feeding and it is doctor indicated. Thanks. And she still went into her whole spiel and guilt tripped me and told me it would mess up my supply (it did not). I wanted to slap her, honestly. It was so condescending. Luckily I just gave her a simple minded smile, tuned her out, let her Do her 15 minute shame speech and help for 5 minutes with latch, and DH showed her the door.[/quote]
