I was looking at WellStart, it is free, but I do not know how many hours this module will count? Does any one know? Has any used this for their designation and if yes how many hours?????
Dolores,
This is from the letter that WellStart sent to me when I was collecting 
CERPs for my IBLC  90 hours requirement:

"While Wellstart does not offer CEU, CME, or CERPs for our Lactation 
Management Self-Study Modules, Level 1, Baby Friendly USA has indicated 
that the Modules are an acceptable way to meet the three**hour 
requirement."

You can contact them directly - they are pretty good in responding
