IBCLC training help

I am an RN but I have been in psych, so I was going to do Pathway 1 via LLL leader. But now I am transferring to PP! Which is still 1000 hours in pathway 1, if I understand this correctly. I want to document my bfing teaching hours right away. What is the best way to keep track of this? Just a notebook- patient initials, what I helped them with? Or do they accept just an average amount of hours u worked? Does it need to be signed off by an IBCLC or just a nursing director? And they are unsupervised (as opposed to pathway 3 working directly with an IBCLC), is that correct?

    When I did it (granted, many years ago) and I needed to count my hours doing consultancy in postpartum, I just claimed X hours and my nurse manager (not an IBCLC) signed off on it.

    As far as I know, nothing is unsupervised regarding any pathway.

    Under the pathway I received my certification, it wasn't directly supervised, in that as a La Leche League Leader, I wasn't directly supervised by another Leader when I held meetings or took phone calls. As an OB RN, I wasn't directly supervised by my manager or another IBCLC when I went into a patient's room to help with breastfeeding, or taught breastfeeding classes to pregnant women.

    THat was the impression I got by the question when she asked about supervision. There wasn't someone in the room with me, watching over my shoulder as I counseled women.

    Thanks for the quick responses. Okay, so far I have found out that they do not have to be directly supervised. I also THINK i found once place that said you could combine hours from, say OB nursing, and LLL leader meetings, and get done faster. Has anyone does this? I still am worried as far as calculating the hours, how specific my documentation should be, or if it is just a number of hours. I find conflicting reports, and the "Calculator" hours link on their website is broken.

    I did combine LLL hours and OB department hours. As an active LLL Leader, you can acrue 500 hours/year (at least, that is what it was worth when I did it). So I used 7.5 years as a LLL Leader and made up the difference with 300ish hours of directly assisting postpartum women with breastfeeding.
