Our Credentials and Associations
International Board Certified Lacation Consultant (IBCLC)
International Board Lacation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) is the global authority that determines the 
competency of practitioners in lactation and breastfeeding care. IBCLCs are essential members of the maternal-child health team who protect, promote and support breastfeeding to benefit the health and well-being of women, children and families worldwide.
The IBCLC credential is the premier and only certification for lactation consultants. Consumers, employers and health care team members can trust that individuals who hold the IBCLC credential have demonstrated competence to practice and that the public is protected from unsafe and unethical practitioners through IBLCE's long-standing disciplinary process and procedures.
Watch the very informative video below for more information about the IBCLC Credential.
