Guest Blog: Why Did I Become a Lactation Consultant By Gale Touger

For me, becoming an LC was a natural evolution. Growing up I only once saw a woman breastfeeding. Yet, coming of age in the time of Women's Liberation and starting as a Nurse Practitioner in a rural mountain community, it seemed the natural, healthy and right thing to do. I was blessed with two babies who latched on with ease and never gave me a minute's trouble until, when my second child was 17 months old, an abscess and surgery brought an abrupt, sorrowful end to breastfeeding. I had the pleasure of knowing, being assisted by and learning from a fabulous role model - Mary Rose Tully. There is nothing more rewarding than the joy on a Mom's face, and Dad's too, when together we solve a problem, Mom is no longer in pain, their baby eats with gusto and then looks deeply into Mom's eyes.
