Families are often told that “lactation support is lactation support.”
That simply isn’t true.
Different credentials reflect very different levels of training, clinical experience, and scope of care. All can play important roles — but they are not interchangeable, especially when feeding challenges are complex.
Unfortunately, misinformation about qualifications is becoming more common, and it can delay families from getting the level of care they truly need.
If you are struggling with pain, poor weight gain, supply concerns, or a feeding situation that feels overwhelming, you deserve support from someone trained to manage those challenges.
💛 Always feel empowered to ask:
• What is your credential?
• What training did you complete?
• What is your scope of practice?
• When do you refer out?
Transparency isn’t offensive — it’s ethical healthcare.
Informed families make safer decisions.
