Nancy, it's my pleasure to write about our reality - the rewards and the challenges. What we do matters so much, and we have to keep talking about how to make our work easier to manage so that we can ALL be resilient and work together to prepare the next generation for this work!
I jut want to tell you how much I love your book! I have been a nurse in L&D, postpartum and special care nursery for 37 years and just last month sat for my IBCLC exam. Your book is so spot on regarding all that is going on in society and the way that birthing people approach Breast/chest feeding. It’s so different now and we really need to help support the belief in our bodies and that they are made to do this!
Kathryn, thank you! My question for you is this: after 37 years, why was it important to you to earn the IBCLC credential? I am hearing from more and more wonderful people like you who are choosing this after decades working with dyads, and I am so excited by what drives you! I'd love it if you would be willing to share your motivation.
This here hits deep, every sentence so true, thanks Christine!!
