What a great couple of days I had in Madrid, Spain, with 120 lactation consultants!! The room was full and there was a waiting list...sigh, oh no, I guess I have to go back?!?! Twist my arm!

The 🇪🇸 Asociación Española de Consultoras Certificadas en Lactancia Materna (Spanish Lactation Consultant Association, https://ibclc.es) is led by wonderful people and I so very much appreciate the incredible hard work of my talented IBCLC colleague Maria Romeu, who I worked with for many hours before the workshop to ensure it was going to work--as she translated all my slides, sanitized and organized fl**ges and pump parts, and coordinated so much of the event, AND she did fantastic consecutive translation 🗣️ during the 2-day workshop! The other leaders of the AECCLM are also wonderful people, and with their support, the workshop was a success. (Maria is the one standing behind me in the jeans in the photo.)

One pediatrician-IBCLC told me she 🚘 drove 600km to attend, and a midwife-IBCLC from the Canary Islands 🏝️ flew ✈️ to be there. People from all over Spain attended, and another pediatrician-IBCLC has already talked with me about starting a research study 🔍 in the NICU at the large hospital 🏥 where she works! Amazing commitment!!

What a wonderful group of people, so interested and passionate about their work with families--and now passionate about fl**ge fitting with this "new" approach, as they witnessed how all 7 of our lactating volunteers found ultimate comfort with their best-fitting fl**ges and saw sprays 💦 like they never had seen before. 6️⃣ of the volunteers had babies 👶 in the NICU and were thrilled they could pump now with comfort and give more milk 🥛 to their babies.

And I loved Madrid! Now it's time to rest and be back home, after my time in Europe. I can't wait to go back.

Congratulations to Sue’s Place Child Care Center! After reviewing their application and meeting with Director Sue DesRoberts, it’s clear they are providing a super supportive workplace to their lactating employees and parents.

They have a policy (communicated to all staff) that ensures their employees have the time and space to express milk in their discrimination-free workplace.

Sue made it clear that their workplace is one full of support and love, which we are excited to recognize! Congrats to Sue’s Place!
