“International Board Certified Lactation Consultants function and contribute as members of the maternal-child health team. They provide care in a variety of settings, while making appropriate referrals to other health professionals and community support resources. Working together with mothers, families, policymakers and society, IBCLC certificants provide expert breastfeeding and lactation care, promote changes that support breastfeeding and help reduce the risks of not breastfeeding.” According to the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners.
In short, an IBCLC is a board certified lactation and breastfeeding professional.
Personally, my priorities are to support and provide the help mothers and families need to successfully breastfeed, to encourage women to trust their design, and to nurture both the mother and baby as they learn the beauty of breastfeeding. I want to help you through the challenges and celebrate your triumphs. Breastfeeding is not just a way to feed your baby – it is medicine, promotes wellness, and aids in your child’s emotional and mental development. My job is to support and protect your ability to do so.
