Becoming an LC

[jempd]

This is not about either doulas or midwives so I hope this is the right place for htis post. I am thinking of getting certified to be an LC. Has anyone else done it? What was your experience of it? Did you find it difficult to do having kids?

I sent this via PM as well...

Did you want to become an LC, or an IBCLC? They are two entirely differnet things.

An IBCLC has very strict requirements, which you can see at this link:

To be just an "LC" means something different. This page explains the difference:
