I am a mother of 2 and have been a breastfeeding counselor for 12 years.I enjoy helping others make breastfeeding a successful venture.I have attended workshops,run a support group at an area hospital under the direction of a lactation consultant-board certified.I have an extensive knowledge of all the basics and can solve most immediate issues of breatfeeding problems.I also am very non-judgemental,I can help mothers who want a 6 weeks experience or 4 year extended nursing relationship.I also have personal experience with the Supplemental Nursing System/Lactaid as I was forced to use with both children [I am a sufferer of Insufficient Glandular Tissue].I also tandem nursed so as you can see I have a deversified portfolio.Thank you for your consideration of me.This is a wonderful site.

Experience

I have two children that I breastfed. Due to less than 2 year apart, I tandem nursed for a year. I nursed them each for almost three years and lactated straight for 5 years.
