Hopefully selected the right flair.

I want to set myself up for success with my first baby so I'm scheduled with an IBCLC around 30ish weeks, and will see her again after the baby is born.

However, she shares a lot about how she recommends chiropractors. She recommends lots of other professionals too (isn't anti pediatrician, etc), and I haven't identified any other anti science things beyond chiro, but it's left a weird taste in my mouth. I'm very anti chiro - aware the research isn't there and NO WAY am I letting someone crack aN infant's back!

I of course don't have to accept a referral if she suggests it, but it got me wondering. What's the data behind success rates of BF with a LC vs without ? I had assumed that the more help the merrier (insurance covers it) , but don't want to be led astray. Hoping to BF and pump/bottle feed.

She also talks a LOT about how tongue ties are way underdiagnosed and pediatricians have very limited knowledge of them. Is this generally true?
