I would like to second Diane's observations about LLLL/IBCLCs. The
depth of experience one gets as a LLLL is incredible. Mothers who are
motivated to breastfeed but have various problems seek you out. When I
was still doing League phone counselling full time, I regularly got 12
calls a day. And when I decided to work toward my IBCLC, I invited moms
with particularly difficult problems to my home for hands on help. If I
could not help them, I referred them to one of the (very few at the
time) local LC's.
Now if only we could work this depth of experience into a clinical
program for all LC wanna be's, we'd be a good profession. And if we
could merge the clinical infant assessment skills and comfort with
medical terminology that the RN/IBCLC's often excell in with the
breastfeeding experience of LLLL/IBCLC's, we will be a strong profession
indeed.
