will hear more about those but right now Diane has our review of the week yeah i have kind of a

cool review of the week this week um this one you sent to me that she sent to you and she sent us a

review about a year and a half ago or so that we read on the air under Mammatoos Sunshine. And in that review,

she was telling us that she was just about a month into her journey into becoming an IBCLC.

So this was an update to that, and I wanted to share that because we do have a lot of people

that ask about becoming IBCLCLCs. I just wanted to share an update to do have a lot of people that ask about becoming IBCLCs.

I just wanted to share an update to one of the podcast reviews I wrote and you all read on the show last April.

I was a few weeks into working towards my IBCLC.

That next week I started as a WIC breastfeeding peer counselor.

October of last year, I became a certified breastfeeding specialist.

And this September, I passed audit and will be sitting for my IBCLC exam. Just wanted to share my progress. I appreciate the candid reminders of why my job is so important and how amazing our bodies are.

And I just want to say congratulations to her because it can be a daunting journey to become an IBCLC.

And I'm so glad that she's doing it and that she brought us up to date on how that's going for her and the path that she took.

Because a lot of times people will ask, how do I become one?
