How many people today are dreaming of becoming a Lactation
Consultant, the way that young people dream of becoming nurses, teachers,
FBI
agents.  How many 20-somethings are in our field?  As the pioneering LCs
with
the volunteer background gray, who will step up?

Well, I am one of those 20 something that is dreaming of becoming LC.  It
has been a dream since I had my first child 5 years ago, and I am slowly
wending my way through school and LLL time as a Leader.  Trying to gain
valuable experience and knowledge, hoping not to get discouraged in the
process.  I want to fill the shoes of the women who have gone ahead of me
and blazed the trail of the LC path.  I know it is not going to be easy, but
damn it, someone has to help mothers to breastfed their babies, and I am
hungry for the knowledge to do just that!

Happy Nursing,
