Lactation Counselor vs Lactation Consultant... I've seen Lactation Professionals excluded from continuing education training because... they're not International Board Certified Lactation Consultants. I've seen IBCLCs call other Lactation Professionals dangerous and harmful or have heard them tell parents to only seek the advice of an IBCLC. Well, I'm here to clear the air and tell you what the difference is between an IBCLC & CLC. You'll be surprised to know they're not that different.
*CORRECTION* CLC Training is 5 days. It just felt like a week*.
