lawyer (since 1983), private practice
lactation consultant (since 1997) and
leader in her professional association

connection between lactation
consultation and the law. IBCLCs face a maze of ethical,
moral, and legal requirements in their day-to-day
practice, no matter what the work setting. With plain
language and humor, Liz explains how lactation helpers
can work ethically and legally. She offers pragmatic tips
that can immediately be used in daily practice to
successfully navigate that maze!
