<< I think many non-nurse IBCLCs are well-qualified to help with
breastfeeding in the hospital, but have often wondered if they would
pick up on things like a soft grunt >>
As an RN, I can guarantee you they didn't teach me those things in nursing
school! We had a whole two weeks in L&D, postpartum, and newborn nursery. My
RN credentials got me LC jobs in the hospitals, and my RN training has helped
with newborn assessments, but I certainly don't feel it gives me a one-
upmanship on non-RN IBCLCs.
Kathy Parkes, RN, IBCLC
