Thank you so much for this! It has provided far more clarity than what I’ve been trying to acquire over time. After 8 years breastfeeding my children, I finally found something I’m passionate about. I want to assist families, especially those who lack access or have language barriers (Spanish/English) that complicate their nursing journeys. Now I know which pathway will work best for my situation, and look forward to learning more from this channel.
Hello, thank you for this very informative video ! I wanted to know if I understood correctly. One way to get your clinicals hours that are required in order to sit for the IBCLC exam, is through a school like Lactation Education and you would need 300 hours in that scenario. Is this correct ?
Hi Gina! We at LER offer the necessary lactation specific education to complete Pathway 1 or 3, with our 90 hour course. You will still need to complete your clinical experience hours under mentorship of an IBCLC in addition to completing the program. If you have more questions about the pathways, our wonderful support team will be happy to help! You can reach them by email at support@lactationtraining.com or by calling (443) 203-8553. Best of luck on your journey!
So the list from Pathway 2, those are schools that offer what exactly in regards to Lactation? Is it a Human lactation program? I think Im confused about that because I looked up the first school and searched Human Lactation and nothing came up so what exactly what I am looking for to even apply? Thank you.

I am a dietitian, working for WIC. Half way through LER program. I did not take anatomy during my undergrad as it was not required, however I did take anatomy and physiology combined. I am wondering if this will meet the required anatomy course.
Hi Marina! Only the IBLCE can speak for which courses they will accept. Unfortunately, they no longer review transcripts. What they will tell you is to compare the course descriptions of what you have taken to the course descriptions in their Health Science Education Guide. You can view that here: iblce.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/health-sciences-education-guide.pdf If you have further questions, feel free to contact our support team at support@lactationtraining.com. Best of luck on your journey!
