Today we celebrate International IBCLC Day — and the incredible women who quietly change the course of a family’s feeding journey.
At The New Mummy Company, every single one of our lactation consultants is an
International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners–certified
International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.
That title is not a weekend course. It is the gold standard in lactation care and we are proud to say that each member of our LC team is an IBCLC.
Here’s what that actually means for you as a parent:
An IBCLC has:
• Completed extensive health science education
• Logged hundreds to thousands of clinical hours supporting breastfeeding families
• Passed a rigorous international board examination
• Maintains ongoing continuing education to keep their credential active
• Works within a strict professional code of ethics
More importantly?
They are trained to assess the full picture — not just latch.
They can:
• Identify oral restrictions and feeding dysfunction
• Support complex medical situations (prematurity, low supply, oversupply, mastitis, reflux, weight gain concerns)
• Create structured feeding plans
• Support combination feeding or exclusive pumping
• Work collaboratively with midwives, physicians, pediatricians and other providers
• Help protect both milk supply and maternal mental health
Breastfeeding is natural — but it is also a learned skill. When challenges arise, you deserve someone clinically trained who can support your feeding goals.
We are deeply proud of the IBCLCs on our team who provide in-home support across the GTA, Vancouver and virtual care beyond. They bring calm to chaos, clarity to confusion, and confidence to exhausted new parents.
If you have worked with one of our IBCLCs, today is a beautiful day to thank them.
And if you’re expecting — know this: when you book with us, you are receiving care from the highest trained lactation professionals available.
Support for every stage. 🤍
