What is an International board certified lactation consultant? Are all of your lactation consultants IBCLCs?
Yes. All of our lactation consultants are current IBCLCs—International Board Certified Lactation Consultants. The IBCLC credential is the gold-standard in breastfeeding care. Each consultant has had a thorough lactation education, completed a lactation-specific clinical internship, and passed a board examination. In addition, they must re‑certify every 5 years and re‑test every 10 years, so you can be confident their education and expertise is always up‑to‑date.
