I consider the IBCLC to be on a par with RN, APN, RD.  In most instances, 
depending on the IBCLC, the IBCLC is way over par when it comes to BF 
knowledge.  Just because you have a RN, APN, or RD doesn't mean you know 
anything about or can adequately help with breastfeeding!.  They are NOT 
magic initials.
Now I've probably exceeded my limit for the day :-) Pat in SNJ (who happened 
to be a mom first, then LLLL, RN, IBCLC,  APN - I 've always felt the first 
2 were most important and the other 3 were magic initials to make me 
credible to the medical world.)
