ailbheOn Tuesday mornings I attend a course in the local library, run by The Breastfeeding Network, which will eventually qualify me to give advice and assistance to women who want to breastfeed their children.
Of course, the downside of this is that my personal opinions will have to slide to the background, because I'll have to rely on official scientific information, but I think I'm already ok at telling people when I have no source for my information, so that might not be too hard.
The first lesson was good, though hectic, because there are eleven women there with children in the creche in the same room, which isn't the most peaceful learning environment - but since advice-giving will often be done in a room with one or more crying babies, that's not a bad precedent either. (None of the children in the creche were crying, but noise is noise, up to a point).
