I am just returning from the NC LLL Parenting Conference and want to say they did an awesome job this year!! I especially enjoyed Natalie Wilson's session on Oxytocin. My daughter attended with me along with her nursling. She said it was so wonderful to spend a weekend totally supported in her parenting decisions. I did a session on Breast Health Issues for which some of you emailed pictures which were very helpful--thank you. That was a new topic for me and I enjoyed the research. I also presented a session on Community Breastfeeding Programs, focusing on wha'ts happening in NC. I have presented that topic before but the info has to be updated each year. And it was so great to see so many "old" friends from over the years. Now I am preparing for the Breastfeeding Trends and Issues Conference that our Task Force and Area Health Education Center sponsors each year. That is on Thursday. Marsha Walker is our keynote speaker this year. I am doing a round table discussion at lunch on certifications. So I am getting my breastfeeding education fix this week--which I really need after the horrendous year that I have had!!
