Seminar attendance and participation simultaneously satisfies both the workshop component that is required to certify as a Lactation Educator (CLE), through the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association, www.CAPPA.net and the education that is necessary for staff employed within facilities seeking Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative accreditation. Learn more about the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative here. Certified Lactation Educators (CLE's) may be considered qualified to facilitate breastfeeding classes in a professional setting to expectant families and serve as a resource when consulted with issues related to the challenges and triumphs of the breastfeeding dyad.
The CAPPA CLE does not prescribe, treat, nor diagnose breastfeeding related conditions and is trained to refer clients facing circumstances that require this degree of intervention to a qualified professional. The CAPPA 20 Hour CLE course is not an IBCLC exam prep course, nor does the CAPPA CLE training prepare a student to become an IBCLC.
