When Evelyn starts school and I'm ready to go back to work, I'm going to take a course that UCSD offers to become a certified LEC. Then I will work toward becoming a certified Lactation Consultant, which requires more coursework, clinical hours, and a huge scary exam.
It's years away, but I'm so excited to finally have an attainable career goal that I am so passionate about!
Awesome idea! I have never thought about that for some reason, but i know that with E it was so very helpful to have the consultant. Now you have peeked my interest too. :) I bet you will rock the socks of new nursing moms!
Perfect! After I had Gavin I seriously thought about pursuing something like that. Then life got in the way but I'd LOVE to hear about your endeavors into that field. I'm very interested. You are going to be SO great in that field!!!
This is awesome ABH! You would be great. Well informed and not pushy. You have a great personality for this. When Madi was in the NICU I really wanted to try but I felt like the LC was VERY pushy and it made me feel uncomfortable. Support like you would be super for new moms!!!
