What is an IBCLC?
The International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) credential identifies the "gold standard" for lactation professionals. An IBCLC is a knowledgeable and experienced member of the maternal-child health team who has specialized skills in breastfeeding management and care. The IBLCE certification program offers the only credential in lactation consulting and is available globally. Before becoming certified, an IBCLC has college education in health sciences, a minimum of 90 hours of breastfeeding/lactation specific education, and 500-1000 hours of clinical/hands-on experience. An IBCLC maintains competency through continuing education courses every 5 years and takes a certifying exam every 10 years. For more information, visit iblce.org
