Hello everyone,
With the changes from IBLCE regarding CERPS, we are receiving requests for more detailed information regarding the types of CERPS we offer. We will begin including this information on Certificates for your reference.
Below is a breakdown of CERPS using the Detailed Content Outline from IBLCE. As you prepare your documentation for recertification, please use the link to help you determine the classification of CERPS for past WALC events.
Thank you for all you do!

Modern Support for Flange Fitting and Pumping with Jeanette Mesite Frem, MHS, IBCLC, RLC, CCE
Objectives – At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
Most parents of babies in the United States pump milk (or try to), at least for a short time or occasionally. As lactation professionals, our overall goal is to help more babies get more human milk. Our work often includes supporting families with pumping.
Providing effective flange fitting services and guidance as a lactation professional can increase pumping comfort and significantly increase milk yield and extend the duration of lactation for many families.
Additionally, lactation professionals are faced with clients who are using new pumps, and often different types of pumps than many lactation professionals have seen before. It is vital that lactation professionals are familiar with what is on the market and understand the differences between pumps and how to counsel parents about choosing them and using them.
During this session, some of the most popular pumps (including wearable pumps) will be discussed.
2 (L) CERPS can be earned when attending or viewing the recording after completion of an evaluation. CERPS are NO COST for WALC Members and $20 for non-members. If you would like to become a WALC member, please visit our membership page.
