What is an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (I.B.C.L.C.) and why is certification important?

The IBLCE Certification is the professional standard of competency in the lactation field. It is the only official, international credential for those offering breastfeeding and lactation care. A combination of basic training, continuing education, practice and successful completion of the examination assures that the designation "IBCLC" identifies a member of the health care team who possesses specialized skills and knowledge. There are now approximately 16,500 IBCLCs worldwide.
