Lactation Equity Center
The Lactation Equity Center is the cornerstone of all the work we do here at NLCA. We remain in constant conversation not only to create a strategic plan for lactation equity but to engage the communities we live in and the Lactation Consultants (IBCLC®s) we serve in this inclusion and equity center plan. As part of this conversation, we welcome feedback at any time to continue to grow this inclusive community.
What Makes NLCA Unique?
- We are lactation consultants working for lactation consultants and the breastfeeding families we serve.
- We prioritize safety for babies and families through advocacy, promotion and clarification of the role of the IBCLC® in providing professional clinical lactation care.
- We work so that all breastfeeding families may equitably access clinical lactation care.
