Help me become a lactation counselor!

Published

I'm a nursing student who is going to graduate in May (can't believe it!). Anyway, I was interested in getting my certification as a lactation counselor (something else to add to my resume) since I'm interested in working in Postpartum after graduation. I have looked at several websites but can't find anything in the New York City area (which can't be right.... lol). So if anyone has gotten their certification as a lactation counselor or knows of an organization which offers it, please help! thank you so much!!!!!!

Oh, I must have been tired last night...I spelled "milk" as "nilk". And what I wa trying to say about milk composition is that the milk from the mother of a preemie is different from the milk of the MOTHER of a full-term infant. :smackingf

So true! That's what's great about breastmilk is that it changes to the nutritional needs of the child. Unlike formula which stays the same the whole time he/she is on it.
