US Voters: Contact your Congressional leadership to restore breastfeeding funding!

The federal government shutdown has halted funding for many vital programmes—including the Hospitals Promoting Breastfeeding program at the CDC, the only line item in the federal budget explicitly dedicated to breastfeeding support.

Congress can prevent disruption of local programmes to support mothers and babies by ensuring the Hospitals Promoting Breastfeeding line item is included in the next emergency appropriation or continuing resolution.

System Improvements!

The online credential management system has an improved appearance. Over the last several months, IBLCE’s database provider has been working behind the scenes to improve the online credential management system. Users still have access to all the important information about the examination, credentials, and certificates, but now with a more streamlined, accessible user experience.

Join a community of over 38,000 IBCLCs around the world!

Our mission: Serving the global public interest by advancing professional practice in lactation consultation and support through credentialing.

The IBCLC programme is accredited by NCCA.
