* Name: Shari Hicks
* Job title: Clinical coordinator of obstetrics education and lactation
* Location: Parkridge East Hospital
* First job: Day care worker at Cumberland Presbyterian, in the baby room. “I’ve always loved babies.”
* Favorite part of job: “Definitely working with a new mom. They’re just so hungry for information and for knowledge. They want to do it right. They’re just little sponges. They just want you to tell them the right thing to do. It’s so much more than just feeding. They want to know how to do everything about mothering. That’s why I love (lactation) support group so much, because we get to follow those babies beyond Day 3. It’s nice to form those relationships.”
