Smile I am now a qualified Breast Feeding counsellor

As of yesterday, I can offically say I am now a qualified breast feeding counsellor, finally! It generally takes 3 years and it's taken me 4!
I'm already on the national helpline and have been for some time so all thats going to happen atm is that I'll get more calls - I guess!
I was going to announce on here yesterday but after managing to access Facebook, I couldn't get the internet to work again. We have changed service provider and thought it was happening last night at midnight but it was off by midday! But am up an running again with a hub whoo!!
Anyway you know now .
Maggie

Many congratulations Maggie! It's something I've been toying with as well, as I really enjoyed helping at my local bf support group.

Well done on a brilliant achievement.

Well done Maggie! Your such a lovely lady I'm sure you are already a fantastic asset to the helpline, but its nice to see it in writing and maybe get even more involved now. Lucky ladies in your area to have you to help them.
