life as lactation consultant

I was so excited when i cleared my International Board Certified Lactation Consultant exams.After my certification life has changed a lot as i have been the second IBCLC currently in Chennai. The knowledge of lactation consultant is a very new concept in chennai, as many health professionals are not known. But the awareness of it and the demand has gone up to great height. Even though i was busy wandering here and there inside city i felt i am lost somewhere like doing my routine work were the implementation of it seems to be lesser than what expected. As days goes by Lactation Consultant has become to be like anyone who call themselves so but in practical in India there is no qualification required to be a Lactation Counsellor but not consultant. Because of the poor knowledge on the importance of IBCLC there are many Lactation Consultant in city without valid certification to be called so.. Lactation counsellor can be of anyone not required to be medical person itself. Life has gone very dificult than what it to be expected as there is difference in the sayings and practice and ethical professionalism is also seen less. I waiting to get myself refreshed.
