Lactation Consultant Services

Professional support can be invaluable to get breastfeeding off to a good start and to overcome problems at any time during the course of breastfeeding. The Breastfeeding Support Program at Penn State offers phone and in-person consultations (in the University Park area) with International Board Certified Lactation Consultants for help with breastfeeding/pumping problems.

An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is a health care professional who specializes in the clinical management of breastfeeding. For additional information, please visit the International Lactation Consultant Association website here. 

Consults can be arranged prenatally, during leave, or after return to work or class. For more information or to schedule a consult, contact:
