I may have been keeping a little secret over the last 16 months. I have always thought about having a title of lactation consultant, although never truly having a vision to practice as one.😜The thought of doing the course seemed daunting and the self doubt on the discipline part really made me think twice… but back in March 2024, I was given an opportunity I couldn’t refuse. Mackie was a mere 6 months old. Who in their right mind would take on 16 months worth of lectures, assignments, practical etc? I guess jokes on me! I couldn’t have done this without my incredible husband, and amazing MIL. The sacrifices were hard and time spent away from my family is now truly worth it. I’m proud to say I have passed, well, kinda really well and all the time spent was worth it. I must add majority of this course was done during working hours between patients, I think I surprised myself the most 😂 although I might have this new little title , my focus is still womens health and breastfeeding support, I will not be filling the full time role of LC. I see it as an expensive add on to what I currently do. I never want to loose focus from the mom 💕 so thank you to all the new moms I saw for prac, you were amazing! So hip hip hooray! Another thing ticketed off, so what’s next?
