AAB 048 Breastfeeding: Podiatrist Michele Colon

Michele's dad was in the  military so she calls herself an army brat.  She lived in several different states and was in several different schools by the age of ten.  She has two sisters and she is right in the middle.  She was born in Virginia and  raised in Sacramento area.  When she was younger she always knew she wanted to be a Dr.  she started off thinking she wanted to be a  pediatrician because I  love kids.  But when she was in college she was a live in nanny and took care of newborns and  saw that they were struggling at night and calling their physicians in the middle of the night.  Michele realized pretty quickly that this would not work out well for her when she did become a mother.  She knew that she wanted to be more available to her children and getting called out in the middle of the night would not fit in well with her idea of motherhood.
