I know I’ve posted a lot lately, but Bear with me.
Nearly 10 years ago I decided I wanted to help women learn how to feed their babies. My goal was to be a nonjudgmental lactation consultant who could sit with mothers in their most vulnerable time, and help them meet their goals.
Then I looked into it. And realized becoming a lactation consultant is HARD. There are a lot of requirements and it takes a long time to get there. So I put it off until 5 years ago.
After so many years of hard work, nearly giving up, and enduring, I did it. I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant.
