After months of lurking and a few private responses to questions raised on
Lactnet, I have decided it is time to introduce myself. My name is Karen Grue
and my background in lactation includes three breastfed children (boys 14 and
12, and a 7-yr-old girl), 10 years with La Leche League and IBCLC certification
since 1987. I am also a nurse. (BTW, a special hello to colleagues in North
Carolina; my degree is from Duke U. and I have many fond memories of my years
there.)
I currently work at The Edmonton Breastfeeding Clinic and teach the prenatal
breastfeeding class in a hospital-based prenatal series. I also do some
speaking to other groups such as nurses and nursing students. During a recent
Career Week at my daughter's school, I was invited by her teacher to speak to
all the grade one students about my job at the clinic. It was a terrific
opportunity to influence not only 60-some youngsters, but two as-yet childless
young teachers as well! It was great fun and well-received.
Thanks to all who share so freely of your experience and expertise. I am
enjoying learning from you and look forward to contributing to the discussion.
Karen Grue R.N., B.Sc.N., I.B.C.L.C.
