Dear friends,

I wonder if this really is what we need to want. Perhaps we should not want IBCLC to be within the health care system. Perhaps breastfeeding and human lactation are better of if not tended to as a health care issue.
I am in the process of getting back to academic study (never too old!), part for the joy of studying, part to enhance my LC skills and possibilities. I was wondering back and forth between Health sciences and Psychology. I'm tending more and more towards the latter, just because it is not as much within the health care system. It opens the possibility to work with lactation as a physiologic relation issue rather than a medical issue.

Warmly.

Gonneke, IBCLC, LLLL and probably a psychologist in the future in southern Netherlands
