But Pam, I don't think it NEEDS to be a registered nurse course that can
teach you this. And from what I learned in nursing it WON'T be a registered
nurse course that will teach you this!!! I think it needs to be a specialty
in lactation, for anyone, no matter what their background (teaching,
nutrition, LLLL, real estate, lawyer, MD, RN, etc).

I "assume" current IBCLCs will all be "grandmothered." :-) ie: we will
still be valid. Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
