Have you ever wanted to become an IBCLC and support breastfeeding as a profession? Students are sharing what the LU IBCLC prep program means to them. Even though the cohort is finished, our work together isn't. We have not "moved on" but instead have "added to." This new class is now part of a larger ALUMNI group that will continue to grow and change the landscape of lactation support.
Most people delay becoming an IBCLC because the process feels overwhelming. You don't have to do this alone. Join our March cohort today and become part of the LU Community.
