As of May 9, 2013 I am an accredited Breastfeeding Counselor with Breastfeeding USA.
This has been a little more than a year in the making. On May 15 of 2012 I was accepted into their comprehensive training class. It has been a long year of reading and studying and taking exams (thankfully all on-line)... sometimes I didn't think I would ever finish and other times I was waiting to proceed. I was one of the first candidates in the course, and the course was being developed as we went through it.
Now I am onto setting up my local chapter and getting ready to host meetings. I will also be listed on their website as the contact person in my state and will get people calling and e-mailing looking for either on-line/phone or in person assistance. I am eager to help others in their breastfeeding journey and to promote the ideas of evidence based breastfeeding support and connecting with other moms.
2013 is going to be a very exciting year.
