Lactation Consultants, let's talk.
What is one lactation topic you wish you'd learned more about during your initial training?

Not necessarily something you never learned—but something that deserved more than a slide, a paragraph, or a quick mention before moving on to the next topic.

Was it:
* Clinical assessment?
* Medications and lactation?
* Mental health?
* Pathology?
* Nutrition?
* Ethics?
* Cultural considerations?
* The business of lactation?
* Or something completely different?

Tell us in the comments. Your answer might even inspire a future training.
