I asked on my stories this week if you knew what an IBCLC was, what they do, and how they earn their credentials. Lots of no's, so here's some info.

International Board Certified Lactation Consultants are the highest qualified professional in infant feeding.
They come from a variety of backgrounds and will have taken different routes to get there, but all will have met the same requirements.

At least 1000 hours of supervised breastfeeding support

At least 95 hours of lactation specific accredited training

14 health sciences or be a health care professional

Once those are completed you can then apply to sit the hefty exams!!

If you manage to pass the exams, which have a really high rate to pass, (often up near 80%) you then get to be an IBCLC!

In order to STAY an IBCLC, you have to recertify every 5 years by proving you've done at least another 75+ hours of accredited learning or by sitting the exam again.

So, basically, it isn't a weekend course 🤣 I believe on average it takes about 5 years, and of course a lot of financial investment. It's quite the privilege to be able to do it in fact, and I acknowledge it wouldn't be a possibility for everyone.
There's also a lack of diversity in IBCLCs, being mainly white women which is a shame.

IBCLCs work in a variety of settings, from hospital to community, NHS, voluntary and private, and are involved in policy, guidance and research as well as direct family contact.
We can support with any and all areas of infant feeding, from pregnancy preparation to stopping breastfeeding at any age, from basics of latch support through to complex medical issues.
