International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) are specially trained to international standards in assisting breastfeeding families. The US Surgeon General considers this the gold standard of lactation training. IBCLCs hold the highest certification and the only internationally recognized credential in the field of lactation.
Some of the things we can help with:
Prenatal consultations
Pain with latch
Oral restrictions
Breast refusal
Slow or no weight gain
Milk supply issues (low or high)
Clogged ducts, mastitis, and engorgement
Breast pumps/Pumping
Flange sizing
Back-to-work planning
Starting solids
Weaning
We want to provide evidence based education to allow you to feed your child in whatever method chosen without judgement or guilt. Providing breast milk not only positively effects lives of babies, but of mothers as well.
