This training is for the people who are actually in it with families.
The doulas.
The midwives.
The community birth workers.
The ones who pick up the phone.
Because the truth is, there is a huge drop off after birth.
Families leave the hospital after a 10 minute visit with an IBCLC. Nurses are caring for multiple parents and babies at once. The latch “looks good.” Skin to skin happened. Everyone goes home.
And then?
“Nobody told me this.”
“I was up at 2am Googling.”
“I felt totally alone.”
We love IBCLCs. We love the system when it works. And we also know there are real barriers to accessing ongoing lactation support.
Our focus is not on the rare and complicated.
Our focus is the common things. What babies actually do. How to listen to parental instinct. How to offer steady, community based support in the first year.
You do not need to be a doctor.
You do not need a master’s degree.
You *do* need to care deeply about families and want to close the gap.
If that’s you, join us at Manhattan Birth for the Spring 2026 Integrative Lactation and Feeding Specialist Program®.

Let’s make sure fewer families are left Googling alone.
