The better question is… why are influencers trying to be lactation consultants? 👀
Breastfeeding support is not just a cute trend, a viral hack, or a 30-second tip you saw online.
It’s anatomy.
It’s physiology.
It’s oral function.
It’s milk production.
It’s recognizing when something isn’t normal.
It’s knowing when a baby needs more support.
There is a reason IBCLCs spend years studying, training, and gaining clinical experience. Feeding your baby deserves more than confident opinions from someone with a platform.
Use social media as a place to learn — but always know who you’re learning from. 🤍
