When I grow up, I'm going to be...

a Lactation Educator-Counselor. biggrin

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!

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!!!
