International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) are an essential part of many breastfeeding journeys. THANK YOU to the many IBCLCs around the world for your knowledge, support, and care in ensuring that families meet their lactation goals. Happy !

03/04/2026

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.

🎉 Happy IBCLC Day! 🎉

Today, we honor ourselves and every International Board Certified Lactation Consultant who shows up with knowledge, compassion, and unwavering dedication for families during one of the most vulnerable and transformative seasons of their lives.

We are more than feeding specialists. We are advocates, educators, and pillars of support who improve health outcomes, advance equity, and strengthen the care teams around us. Our impact ripples far beyond the consultation setting.

And today, we get to celebrate something truly special: Since 2020, our program has proudly produced 37 IBCLCs! ✨

37 professionals.
Countless families supported.
A legacy still growing.

To those on the journey toward becoming an IBCLC, keep going! The path is not easy, but every hour of learning, every family you support, and every challenge you push through is shaping you into the advocate this world needs. Your dedication already matters, and we cannot wait to celebrate you on the other side. 💛

To every IBCLC, those we’ve had the privilege of learning and growing alongside and those across the globe doing this vital work, this day belongs to all of us.

We see you, we honor you, and we are endlessly grateful to be part of this community.

Happy IBCLC Day! 💙
