I just sent this email to Ms. Utter:
 
"Hello Ms. Utter,
 
Please clarify a few things for me regarding  the Breastfeeding Counselor 
pathway. Does this include La Leche  League Leaders? Does each year of LLL work 
as an accredited Leader still count  for 500 lactation specific clinical  
hours? Surely this should be the  case, but the wording doesn't say.
 
Thank you for the clarification.
 
Regards,
Judy LeVan Fram, Brooklyn, NY"
