Dear Ruth: Welcome, Bienvenue, Bienvenida, Welkommen! I could use your husband's expertise in trying to properly file all the fantastic info that flows via Lactnet. You'll love it and we'll learn a lot from your experience, I'm sure. So you're not an RN-IBCLC? Well, would you believe that my BA degree is in music, my work $$ experience have been in the field of tourism here in Yucatan, Mexico, but my heart is with breastfeeding? Wish me luck on the IBLCE exam this July. I have decided that there will be hidden wisdom lurking around, if for some reason I'm not on the list of new IBCLCs next Sept. And I won't feel as if I had failed, but rather as if I had taken a huge step forward even *daring* to sit the exam. I didn't even know ILCA or IBLCE existed until last fall! Imagine! Rather behind the times, don't you think? But it's never too late to catch up. And with Lactnet I am learning at an astounding speed...via all the sharing of experience. What a deal! Don't mean that I don't feel confident, I do - especially with 16 yrs. of hands-on experience, but the venue I have worked in is so drastically different from the U.S. arena. We shall see, we shall see! Again, welcome! Roberta
