Actually, I think there are more than a few male lactation consultants. I'd have to check, but I know the hospital I used when I gave birth had a male nurse who provided latch technique. They didn't have an actual lactation consultant on staff, but if you asked for help, he was one of the people they offered (and was much better than the nurse they first sent).

And, most pediatricians try to provide nursing help, whether they know jack-all about it. Most pediatricians are male. Most OBs as well.

And before you say anything about male midwives, that I do know exists. I know one male midwife personally and another friend used a male midwife for her birth.
