Dear Friends:

Barbara Ash reminds us that the second credential is not a done 
deal........yet. 

But how is it that IBLCE continues on its merry way towards this second 
credential, despite a negative reaction from ILCA?

Here's what is on the IBLCE website this morning about the second credential:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Breastfeeding Peer Support Credential: The International Board of Lactation 
Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) has identified a need in Canada and the United 
States to define a baseline of competence for those providing community-based 
breastfeeding peer support. The Board is developing a criterion-referenced 
certification to evaluate the competence of these individuals, who are an important 
component of the continuum of care available to breastfeeding mothers in 
these countries. Relevant stakeholders are being consulted."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who are these "relevant stakeholders"? 
Does the Board of Directors of IBLCE ignore ILCA?
warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE,CIMI
