What’s all the hype about IBCLCs anyway? Don’t they just help babies latch? We IBCLCs know so much more than just latching and positioning. Our education and training is extensive, and although I wish that culturally we were not necessary because people fed their babies from their bodies anywhere and everywhere all the time, and from our earliest moments we picked up on how to do it– that is not the case. On this episode, Lo pulls back to curtain to talk about the training and knowledge that IBCLCs have so that you can feel confident in your decision to invest your time and energy when you are having struggles feeding your baby!In this inspiring story you will hear about:
- Lo’s journey to becoming an IBCLC
- The pathways to IBCLC
- Educational requirement for IBCLC
- Clinical Requirement for IBCLC
- Testing Requirement for IBCLC
- How you Will Feel After working with an IBCLC
