Okay I'm pulled into this discussion to share my views too. I went
through a period after I passed the IBCLC where I was very angry. Don't
get me wrong I was proud to have passed the exam but all of a sudden I
had more credibility. I was the same person with the same experience,
but NOW what I had to say had some weight. This angered and confused me.
As a La Leche League leader I was a "radical", a "militant", "a
breastfeeding nazi", "one of those", etc you get the picture. Now
overnight I became respected and looked to for information. Huh? I
don't get it. Initials don't change the person. Yes, it is nice to have
them for the respect they lend me but I wish I could've been respected as
well for what I knew as a "plain old" LLL Leader.
Warmly, Ilene Fabisch, Brockton, MA
