I’ve had lots of questions recently about what my qualification is, so I thought I’d do a bit of a run down for you!An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant® (IBCLC®) is a healthcare professional who specialises in the clinical management of breastfeeding & infant feeding.International Board Certified Lactation Consultants function and contribute as members of the maternal-child health team.We provide care in a variety of settings, providing leadership, advocacy, professional development, and research in the lactation field, while also making appropriate referrals to other health professionals and community support resources.We work together with mothers, families, policymakers and society, and provide expert breastfeeding and lactation care, promote changes that support breastfeeding and help reduce the risks of not breastfeeding.An IBCLC is certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners® (IBLCE®) through an international 4 hour exam which is offered in multiple languages. There are several criteria to be eligible to even sit the exam including completing 1000 hours of breastfeeding educational and clinical practice.As always, if you need help with breastfeeding or anything else baby related please send me a message! #hannahcroftibclc #breastfeeding #baby #infantfeeding #job...
