Lactation Consultancy
Lactation Consultancy
A Lactation Consultant provides specialist feeding and bonding support for all families as they grow from pre conception onwards. Each family’s journey is unique to them and so my support is tailored to their needs.
An IBCLC (also referred to as a Lactation Consultant) has achieved the highest professional qualification in the field of infant feeding. The IBCLC credential is a Masters level professional qualification in the clinical management of breastfeeding and infant feeding, and requires candidates to complete education in 14 health science subjects, 1000 hours of extensive clinical practice and at least 90 hours of lactation education. After initially passing a rigorous 4 hour exam an IBCLC will have to recertify every 5 years to ensure that their practice is safe and up to date.
