Lactation Consultants Vs Doulas: Can
We Work Together?

One of the things that any new mother must decide is
whether or not they are going to breast feed their
newborn or if they would rather bottle feed..

A doula can give you information and ideas about both,
unless she is a board certified lactation consultant she
may not be able to properly teach you what you need to
know about breast feeding.


Different types of certifications that a lactation
consultant may have:

•International board certified lactation consultant
•Certified lactation educator
•Certified lactation consultant

All three of these certifications
have different training materials


Some things to consider when becoming a
lactation consultant:

Think if it is truly the career path for you
Make sure you are completely comfortable
working with lactating women..


You will also be required to take a test on a variety of different
subjects such as anatomy, physiology, ethics, legal issues, etc.
before you can even become a lactation consultant.

The test will be given after you have taken the general
education courses or continuing education courses that were
discussed earlier.


If a doula also doubles as a lactation consultant they can provide
an enormous amount of help to new mothers.

They can help to build a bond
between mother and child.
