Depending on the state, many IBCLCs would qualify as a Nutrition Educator.  A Bachelor's is required, with some amount of nutrition classes.  The new education requirements for IBCLCs have many classes in common with my state's requirements for Nutrition Educator positions.

Yes, so that is a bit of a sticky point.  IBCLC's are not always qualified to be in WIC positions, but many are.   I agree that WIC could serve so many more by offering more LC services in the clinic, rather than split the time of the LC between BF and all other infant/child clients.
