What is a Lactation Consultant?

The International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners, Inc. defines a lactation consultant as an allied health care professional who possesses the necessary skills, knowledge, and attitudes to facilitate breastfeeding.

With a focus on preventive health care, lactation consultants encourage selfcare and parental decision making, both prenatally and postnatally. They utilize a problem solving process to provide appropriate information, suggestions, and support.
