Testimonials
" This program is amazing. I was hesitant to try to get into the lactation world, but Christy and her team made it so welcoming and easy. I had no prior education on lactation care prior to this course besides my own personal experience, and finished with an abundance. Christy is so passionate about lactation education, it is contagious! Even after finishing I know I can ask her for help with anything. The program stays up to date with all the new research coming to the field. The guest speakers she has chosen are amazing. I highly recommend this course!"

" I finally took the leap of faith 4 weeks ago and I am blown away at the amount of information I've learned about IBCLC, myself and the policies and procedures surrounding breastfeeding. If you seek in depth, quality lactation education...come to Lactation University! You will be better than you ever imagined, and that's what this field needs... educated, knowledgeable, and personable consultants."
