I am new to this wonderful list. I have been reading for about 2 weeks and am finally brave enough to join in. My friend Teresa Pitman invited me and I look forward to learning so much from all of you wise women. I am a new LLLL (Sept 2007). I have nursed my 2 boys into toddlerhood (1st 18.5 months self-weaned 14 months LAM, 2nd 40 months mother-weaned 17 months LAM). I am a scientist by trade but hope to become an IBCLC in the future once I have met all the requirements. I would probably go into private practice (I have no interest in becoming a nurse). I have been reading all the recent IBCLC threads very closely. I will now return to lurkdom and continue to soak in the vast amount of info this site is giving me. Tania Archbold B.Sc.
