Pam and Nikki,
To be honest, counselor or consultant really doesn't matter. When you
have a layman that could just as easily call us "Lactose Consultants"--the
hard reality is that counselor and consultant mean the same thing to a parent.
I just spoke to a clinical nurse manager of a large maternity ward who did
not know that there are non-RN IBCLC and CLCs out there. She also had NO idea
that there was a major difference between the IBCLC or CLC credential
requirements. We have a lot of teaching to do.

Hi, Pam: I beg to respectfully disagree with you, but CLC means certified
lactation consultant.
Dear Friends:
The CLC week-long, 45 CERPs program from Healthy Children stands for
Certified Lactation Counselor.
warmly,
