Guest Blog: Why Did I Become a Lactation Consultant by Elizabeth Kosmetatos

'I became a pediatrician because I wanted to help children and their families. After almost a decade spent in private practice, I realized that I would never have enough time to properly support my breastfeeding babies and their mothers in a busy practice. Ten minutes per appointment is not enough, especially for a newborn or infant who is having problems breastfeeding! I decided to become Board Certified as a Lactation Consultant. Now, I have a job where I get to spend one hour with new babies and their mothers and can have appropriate follow ups. I feel amazing that I can help mothers not give up on breastfeeding and give their babies all of the benefits we know they get through breastmilk, or "liquid gold!"'
