Guest Blog: Why Did I Become a Lactation Consultant by Jennifer Makin

 

I'm in the process of pursuing IBCLC certification. My third baby struggled from day one. I was baffled- I had the benefit of success and experience on my side! This wasn't supposed to happen! With the patient, gracious help of my favorite IBCLC, we persisted. I learned what it is like to live through undiagnosed medical problems (hello, tongue tie!) and supplementation in the face of severe breastfeeding problems. We surpassed every nursing goal I had by breastfeeding until 23 months! I'm a Registered Dietitian. I believed in breastfeeding before I ever had my babies, but through this experience, I learned that I have a great passion for lactation. I am eager to complete my remaining requirements to join the ranks of IBCLCs!
