Hello fellow Lactnetters. I have been lurking for quite awhile, enjoying it tremendously. I am an IBCLC for five years working at a local hospital for the last 4. Had a private practice for a couple years. Helped start the BF Peer Counselor Program here. Got started with all this by being a LLL Leader for 6 yrs. prior to sitting for my board. Had some wonderful mentors in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Used to be in eyecare field---that was my college major. Most of the time love what I'm doing. Recommend having a calling to everyone. We have 2 children and yes they were breastfed for longer than most in the USA. Look forward to seeking counsel from the many learned Lactnetters and sharing what I have had the priviledge to learn. Cynthia Boylston, IBCLC
