Lactation Consultant

Well, this made me laugh... sorry also to drop in on you guys. I have to share... Last year at my yearly GYN exam, I ended up seeing the "other guy" in the practice. My Doc was in surgery. Well, when it was time to do the breast exam I noticed his hand was really shaking while he was examining me, :yeah:and he seemed kinda jumpy and was barely touching me. I have never had that happen before! He was young, but I know he's been in practice for 7 years. LOL! I had to wonder, (am I that hot?) I wasn't upset of course, but really had to squelch the giggles for some reason!!! I then realized he was having a hard time with this. Now after reading these posts, I feel bad for him (just a little) :chuckle I am glad I haven't had to examine any really hot guys! I am sure I might blush!

I would assume there would be a mix of women who would or would not be uncomfortable with a male in this job. However, speaking personally, I think I would be terribly uncomfortable in this position having to grab boobs and get babies to suck all day long. But hey, that's just me.

No I haven't. I truth be told am uncomfortable with a female lactation consultant while they watch me nurse. But if that is what you want to do go for it.

I just had a baby, and I would decline a male lactation consultant.. sorry. Its stressful enough having a baby, I wouldnt want to deal with a male 'helping' me on top of that.
