mom, baby, lcFinding a Lactation Consultant

One of the best ways a mother who has had breast or nipple surgery can maximize her breastfeeding success is to employ the services of a lactation consultant, preferably one who is an international board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC), who can provide expert assistance with breastfeeding at a cost-effective fee (maximizing milk production reduces the need for formula).

In difficult breastfeeding situations, online information and support cannot replace the comprehensive services of an in-person consultation with a board-certified lactation consultant. For this reason, we have compiled this list of lactation consultants who have specialized skill in working with mothers. If you can not find an lactation consultant who is near your area on this database, here are some additional options:

INTERNATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED
LACTATION CONSULTANTS
WITH EXPERTISE WORKING WITH MOTHERS
WHO HAVE HAD BREAST OR NIPPLE SURGERIES


If you are a board-certified (IBCLC) lactation consultant
anywhere in the world and would like
to be included on this list, please let us know.
