ALPI Membership Disclaimer

ALPI Membership in no way replaces the need for prior training, credentials and on-going education in the field of lactation.  ALPI members have prior training and certification before becoming ALPI members.  If any ALPI member is found in violation of this, ALPI reserves the right to terminate that person's membership.

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