Frequently asked questions

What is an IBCLC?

An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) provides comprehensive breastfeeding support and lactation care to breastfeeding families. IBCLCs have accrued hundreds to thousands of hours supporting breastfeeding families, completed college and post grad courses specifically about human lactation, and passed a board exam to demonstrate competency in solving complex breastfeeding problems. To continue providing current and evidence-based care, IBCLCs re-certify with specific lactation related continuing education every five years. We are the breastfeeding experts, and most of us work in this field because it is our passion, not just our job. IBCLCs work around the world; in hospitals, pediatric offices, private practice, public health offices and more.

Do I need an IBCLC?

Breastfeeding is a learned behavior that takes time. If you haven’t seen many friends or family breastfeed, you may be wondering if what you’re doing, or how your newborn is feeding, is normal. Many moms struggle with breastfeeding simply due to unrealistic expectations set in place by our surroundings, or lack of support from a non-breastfeeding friendly culture. Check out your local LLL group, to connect with other breastfeeding mothers, and gain helpful insight into normal breastfeeding. Persistent pain while breastfeeding, latch problems, sleepy babies that are slow to gain weight, are a little more time sensitive reasons that you need to schedule a consultation with an IBCLC right away. An IBCLC will provide you with the expert lactation care and continuous follow up you’ll need while navigating these challenges.
