🌟 Happy IBCLC Day! 🌟 Today, we celebrate the incredible dedication, expertise, and compassion of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) around the world. To all the IBCLCs who work to support breastfeeding mums: thank you. Your knowledge, patience, and commitment make a world of difference to parents and babies. Whether it’s helping a new mum navigate the early days of breastfeeding, providing reassurance during challenges, or advocating for breastfeeding-friendly communities, your impact is profound and life-changing. At the Australian Breastfeeding Association, we see and appreciate the vital role you play in empowering mums to reach their breastfeeding goals. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, and we’re so grateful for everything you do. Today, we honour you and the countless hours you’ve spent supporting, educating, and caring for mums. You are true champions of breastfeeding, and we’re proud to stand alongside you. 💜 Thank you, IBCLCs, for all that you do! #IBCLCDay #ThankYouIBCLCs #BreastfeedingSupport #ChampionsOfBreastfeeding
