Hello Lactnetters,
I just wanted to yell and shout I passed. Also, to congradulate all my sisters 
that were there with me. I came away with alot of respect for the exam and 
and left not having a clue of how I did. I'm sure many of you had the same 
experience.
I have been following Lactnet for some time. I find it a great resourse. I also 
wanted to pipe in on women that pump rather than breastfeed. I have several 
that take that route and for various reasons. I suggest that they hold their 
babies skin to skin at least some periods of the day and tell them I don't know 
how long they will be successful but to call with any concerns. I don't know 
why it is so difficult for some. I do alot of skin to skin in my practice. I even 
hand out a study for new moms to read and understand. Most enjoy it. There 
is always the exception. I wish that there were a way to instill these moms to 
enjoy their babies more. I know we live in a society and most economically 
have to return to work in 6 weeks I have had some one and two weeks. But, 
the time goes so fast and you just can't get that back.
Again, Congradulations to all of the new IBCLC's.
Terri Klein
