I was already an LC when I went to nursing school, so
I kept raising my hand to correct some of the
misinformation that the nursing instructor was giving
about breastfeeding - in a nice way, of course. :-)

I don't know how much of it sunk in, with the
instructors or my fellow students, but my fellow
students did learn to come to me for answers to
breastfeeding questions. :-)
