It is wonderful to see the different types of breastfeeding support, but important to notice the difference in what is offered.

Today we celebrate IBCLC Day!

Founded in 1985 with early support from La Leche League International, the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) set the global standard for lactation consultants. Today, IBCLCs continue to provide expert, evidence-based lactation care to families around the world.

Have you gotten care from an IBCLC? Ever wondered what makes them different from a La Leche League Leader or other breastfeeding counselors?

Happy IBCLC Day!

Today, we celebrate and recognize the critical role of IBCLCs in WIC.
IBCLCs bring advanced clinical expertise to the WIC program.

IBCLCs:
✅ Support families experiencing complex feeding challenges
✅ Improve breastfeeding initiation, exclusivity, and duration
✅ Mentor peer counselors
✅ Strengthen workforce stability
✅ Contribute to measurable maternal and infant health outcomes

As WIC modernizes and works to strengthen participation and retention, IBCLCs are not optional- they are essential.
