Lamaze offers a workshop which allows one to call themselves a
"Breastfeeding Support Specialist" but not a lactation consultant.
And there are people who take the NCC breastfeeding exam or another
credentialing agencies exams or even an online class and the post test - and
then call themselves lactation consultants.
I think that’s why the R in RLC has become necessary - while anyone can call
themselves a an LC - not everyone can call themselves an RLC, although I
don't know who would really enforce it if someone did decide to use the
credential. For nurses, the use of credentials is enforced by the state
board of nursing - but there is no state board regulating LC's that I know
of.

I am curious which organization offers the title "Lactation Consultant." I
understand this is a short course one can take and receive this title much
like the other groups credentialling for CLC, CBE... Thanks for any
information.
