Dear WALC Community,
The Institute for the Advancement of Breastfeeding and Lactation Education (IABLE) is conducting its 16 hour Outpatient Breastfeeding Champion Training Wed mornings April 3, 10,17,24, and May 1st at the Meriter UnityPoint McKee Clinic in Madison, WI. The course will be held on Tuesdays from 7:00-10:15 am.
This training course is optimal for both inpatient and outpatient breastfeeding supporters who would like to learn how to answer the most commonly asked questions about breastfeeding. Typical participants have been hospital nurses, nursing assistants, office nurses, medical assistants, nutritionists, speech therapists, medical social workers, peer counselors, doulas, midwives, and health professional students.
This course provides 12.75 L-CERPS and 13.25 nursing contact hours.
To learn more about the course, and to register, visit https://lacted.org/madison201904/

Hello,
I recently became a CLC. I am looking for supervised hours and experience so that I can better help the moms and babies I work with and eventually possibly become an IBCLC. Are there any IBCLC in the Madison area that would be willing to work with me? I feel fairly comfortable in the academic side, but lack hands on experience in lactation counseling. I hope to get some more exposure at work, but it will be rather infrequent and nearly always complex situations.
Thanks for your consideration,
Therese Breunig, RD, CLC

I am an IBCLC providing inpatient and outpatient Lactation Services at a community hospital. My hospital was approached by a person wishing to become an IBCLC. She is not a Recognized Health Professional or from a Recognised Support Counselor Organization. She was told by IBLCE that she could follow Pathway 1. She is enrolled at a Technical College and in the process of taking the 14 required Health Science Subjects. She has completed a 90 hour on-line Lactation Specific Education. I guess I’m looking for some direction as to where to begin and how to provide the “Supervised Clinical Practice”. Are there any hospital based IBCLC’s out there who have been involved in this kind of activity or any IBCLC’s that have followed this route to achieved their IBCLC. You can email me: Lawanda287@charter.net
