COVID Recommendations for
​Lactation Professionals


​
Please watch this video from the ALPI Executive Team about COVID recommendations.  The lactation professional's role is to support and guide families with the best information, but it is the family's independent choice as to what decision to take.
Lactation professionals provide skilled lactation care and support to families through the perinatal time period. LPs work in various community settings with a referral based support team** and do not provide medical services, treatment, prescription or diagnosis unless their primary degree permits this (ie: doctors, pediatricians, OB/ Gynacs, etc).

**Referral based support teams may include doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, dentists, psychologists, speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, and others professions.

Lactation Professionals include Lactation Consultants (IBCLC), Certified Lactation Professionals, Lactation Counselors and other recognized certifications with both lactation coursework and clinical lactation experience.
