How did you find your lactation consultant?

I don't live on LI anymore, but did you go through your hospital? La Leche? International Lactation Consultant Association? What designations should they have?

Thanks!

NSUH Manhasset sent me home with a pamphlet and I got mine off there. I have also contacted LaLeche recently and found someone in the next town over who was very helpful. HTH Chat Icon

My birth instructor recommended the one I used. Mine was a pediatrician who specializes in BFing, does house calls and takes insurance.

They should be certified IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant).

I would contact your local LLL and see if they have someone that they recommend.
