Boy, oh boy what a mess! This initials thing seems to be getting awfully
ugly.
I must say I tend to agree with the closing remarks of Teresa. I hate
this elitist attitude. I think IBCLC would be an honor and those who
have attained it should be proud. I also think for those of us who are
choosing to promote and educate about breastfeeding while keeping the
focus on our families should also be proud. We all need to keep grounded
and remember where breastfeedng education and support started. At a
picnic over 40 years ago. that is where the 7 amazing women who founded
LLL decided to put together the first breastfeeding group. From there
came all of our titles. That's right folks, thank LLL for starting it
all. None of us would have a place in this field if someone hadn't
started it all! Just my .02. Obviously I am very proud to represent a
certain volunteer breastfeedig organization!
