No, Liz.  Not all of us on this list are IBCLCs or aspire to be and so not
all of us are members.  Mothers need support from other mothers, informed
health professionals for whom sitting the exam offers them no extra credit
and highly trained  and experienced volunteer counsellors (who can offer a
type and intensity of support that would not be possible if our livelihoods
depended upon billing for the hours we work.
Please try to include us all in your picture of 'breastfeeding support'.
