What Does IBCLC Mean?

The International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification is recognized as the Gold Standard for health professionals working with breastfeeding women. IBCLCs have passed a fully accredited examination set by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE). Prerequisites for the board examination include thousands of hours of clinical work and educational credits in Anatomy & Physiology, Cultural Diversity, Psychology & Counseling, Child Development, and Nutrition. All IBCLCs are required to provide evidence-based lactation support and adhere to the IBLCE’s Professional Standards.

Why Get Help?

Breastfeeding doesn't always come naturally and can be very challenging, especially in the early weeks. A Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) can help you overcome these struggles, keep you and your baby healthy, and guide you on the road to reaching your breastfeeding goals.

Here are a few reasons to seek assistance from an IBCLC:

• Milk supply concerns including low milk supply, oversupply, and weaning support.

• Breast and nipple pain, nipple trauma, mastitis, engorgement, plugged ducts, and thrush.

• Returning to work and pumping assistance including pump fit evaluation, making the most out of your breast pump, storage and handling of breast milk, pumping at work and your rights, pumping schedule for returning to work, tips on offering your baby a bottle.

• Special concerns such as adoption and induced lactation, lactation after infant loss, colic/reflux, food allergies/sensitivities, unresolved fussiness, prematurity, multiples and tandem nursing and medical/anatomical issues.

• Baby weight concerns such as slow weight gain, poor growth, and supplemental feeds.

• Latch concerns such as infant not latching, suck dysfunction, oral motor issues, tongue/lip tie, structural concerns and breast or bottle refusal.
