What is an IBCLC?

International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) are highly experienced, trained and qualified to help parents and babies to breastfeed. They are knowledgeable in all areas of lactation and can help with both basic and complex breastfeeding challenges. IBCLCs are experts and hold the internationally recognised breastfeeding credential.

IBCLCs are regulated by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners and work within a code of professional conduct and are subject to disciplinary procedure. They are required to recertify every 5 years 75 hours of continuing education.

" Dear Kate,

I just really would like to thank you for all your help and support. It kept me going in my difficult time…. Breastfeeding is a pleasure now and I am really enjoying it. There is nothing like seeing my son eating and looking at me or when he is feeding and falling asleep in the night.

He has grown soooo much. He is whooping 7kg and is 4.5 months…. I attached pictures as it is hard to believe how much different he looks now to when you saw him last."
