Lactation University Volunteer Support (LUVS)

LUVS are qualified, trained lactation specialists who desire to support families in their feeding goals. They offer FREE community and private breastfeeding support via online and in-person meetings, book clubs and social media platforms. LUVS promote breastfeeding as the biological and cultural norm. 

Our highly-qualified volunteers have either completed the 24 hour Certified Lactation Educator (CLE) Training and are working towards certification, or attended the 95 hour Lactation University IBCLC Preparatory Course. Volunteers continue to pursue learning and growing by documenting a minimum of 15 CEUs every 3 years.

LUVS serve as counselors on the official LUVS private Facebook groups and Instagram account. They also respond via email and offer phone support. Our volunteers provide evidence-based education and offer appropriate referrals. Lactation University recognizes the IBCLC credential as the gold standard in lactation professionals, and our counselors provide referrals to International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants for assessments and clinical support when necessary.

Our social media sites are also monitored by current International, Board-Certified Lactation Consultants. They serve as mentors and resources for our volunteers. Many of our volunteers are meeting clinical hours to qualify as candidates for the IBLCE Exam.
