In 1993 after her personal breastfeeding experiences with her two children, Cindy became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. She now works with mothers in labor and delivery, newborn nursery and postpartum, in addition to doing in and out patient consultations and home visits.

Cindy has also developed a wonderful website breastfeedingonline.com, that provides articles, advice, and encouragement to those interested in breastfeeding. With her extensive personal and professional experience, Cindy Curtis is a fantastic source of information and a wonderful inspiration, to all who are considering breastfeeding or experiencing the joy and challenges of it right now.

Question submitted April 29, 2002.

Cindy,

I am interested in becoming a lactation consultant. I live in San Diego and am considering enrolling in the lactation consultant program at the UCSD
extension. This is a course recommended by the ILCA. Is this a good way to go about it? How does one obtain employment as a LC?

Suzanne

Cindy
