Why A Board Certified Lactation Consultant?

An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is considered the gold standard for Lactation consultant certification.

The term “Lactation Consultant” refers to anyone who is working in the field of Lactation, either as a volunteer or a professional, but only the letters IBCLC after an individual’s name identifies that person with a recognized standard of independently measured competency in Lactation.

IBCLC’s are the only Lactation Consultants recognized by national and international Lactation professional bodies.

What Background and Education Are Required?

The International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) is a non-profit corporation established in 1985 by La Leche League International to develop and administer professional certification for Lactation Consultants. The exam is held once a year worldwide. Certification is for 5 years. Re-certification by continuing education or re-examination is required.

The IBCLE examination focuses on Lactation and also encompasses many disciplines.

The standards are set at a university level of difficulty, and one must meet specific eligibility before being approved to sit for the certification exam. For more information on the exam, contact IBLCE at 703-560-7330 or http://www.IBLCE.org.
