Hello!!!!
My name is Laura Walker and I have been an RN for 18 yrs.  15 of it has been
spent working with mothers and babies in the hospital.  Breastfeeding has
always been a passion of mine and am now the hospital's LC.  I am both
challenged and overwhelmed every day by the in house moms, those that visit
with difficulties and phone calls.  I love what I do.  Each mom and baby is
a learning experience and I realize more and more how unique and individual
each one is.  The books present a knowledge base to draw from then the
detective work begins.  More challenging is the education of the nursing
staff which over the last year has been slow and painful for some.  Being an
LC, you get more than you bargained for sometimes and develop pretty thick
skin.  What a wonderful growing experience for me!  I look forward to
reading and sharing information with all of you.
Also, I've been married to a wonderful man, John for 18 yrs.  His support of
my efforts has been wonderful.  Our daughters are 16 and 13 - more growing
and learning experiences for all of us - need I say more ?  Oh yes, they
were both breastfed.
