ILCA MEMBERSHIP HAS HELPED THOUSANDS OF LACTATION PROFESSIONALS BE MORE
SUCCESSFUL


KATINKA MUSAVAYA (ZIMBABWE):

As the only practicing IBCLC® in my country, ILCA is my window to the lactation
world. I also love the Journal of Human Lactation for keeping up to date with
research for my clients.


JOSEPHINE NALUGO (UGANDA):

I have been an ILCA member the past 6 years, through a scholarship from the
Wisconsin Association of Lactation Consultants. During that time, I have
supported over 1000 mothers and their babies in my country of Uganda, as well as
in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ghana. ILCA has introduced me to
knowledge that I have been seeking and it enabled me to grow the care I offer in
my community. I feel like my journey has just begun with moms, babies, and their
papas to breastfeed and I need ILCA membership to continue this work.


BROOKE AZEVEDO (USA):

I refer to the ILCA website a few times a month for various things ranging from
finding another IBCLC® to looking up an article, to watching the ILCA conference
remotely! My membership is invaluable, and it provides the standard of care in
which I practice.

WHAT MAKES ILCA DIFFERENT THAN OTHER ASSOCIATIONS FOR LACTATION PROFESSIONALS?

ILCA is the only international association representing lactation professionals
at the table where global health decisions are being made.  These global health
decisions determine the lactation care related regulations and protocols being
implemented in every community around the world.

As a lactation professional, you know that breastfeeding improves the health of
babies and mothers alike.  Unfortunately, 60% of families are not reaching their
breastfeeding goals and global health outcomes are being threatened because:

 * healthcare systems lack capacity in lactation knowledge;
 * communities do not have access to skilled lactation care; and 
 * baby milk companies are using unethical marketing practices to target
   vulnerable populations.  

With the tools and resources offered in an ILCA membership, you will confidently
use evidence to guide your practice and strengthen your value in your
community’s healthcare system, ensure families can locate your services, and
support global advocacy work that promotes the role of lactation professionals,
like you, in transforming world health.


NO OTHER ORGANIZATION CAN OFFER YOU THE SECURITY AND CONFIDENCE YOU NEED TO
THRIVE AS A LACTATION PROFESSIONAL.

GENDER INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE POLICY

ILCA is committed to using inclusive language for greater global health equity
and recognizes that not all parents feeding their babies identify as mothers or
as breastfeeding parents.
