The best thing I did this time at the hospital was to request that a lactation specialist would not come to visit me. After all, Rilla is my sixth child. I have hated having a stranger come to my room to watch me nurse my baby. I have hated listening to rehearsed sales pitches on the benefits of mothers' milk. Most of all, I just hate the fact that some stranger feels entitled to critique my nursing skills, especially, when it works for me and my babies....
So, this time around, first thing I asked for was to not permit a lactation specialist to come to my room. The following morning I heard an announcement being broadcast throughout all the rooms on our floor: "Good Morning Mothers! We will be starting our lactation class at 10:00 am in the North East Lobby. All are welcome!" I started to laugh out loud. I am thinking that they must think all of us are on a special cruise ship and that a lactation workshop is equivalent to shuffleboard.
