Recertification of Breastfeeding Educators

 

There are two options for recertification. (See Recertification Options below)
Participants must have previously completed certification as a breastfeeding educator by Lactation Consultant Services™.
Recertification is in effect for five years and costs $25.

 

Certified Breastfeeding Educators™ are not qualified to represent themselves as lactation consultants.

Recertification Options

Continuing Education
Attend at least 5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or L-CERPs addressing breastfeeding promotion and/or assistance each five years from certification/recertification. The continuing education credits are based on sixty minute contact hours.
