Our Mission

West Coast Lactation Association is a group of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) committed to advancing the health and well-being of individuals, infants, and families through the promotion of feeding and lactation. Our dedication to education, empowerment, and advocacy, as essential components of health and well-being, guides us to make meaningful impacts in the lives and health of individuals, infants, and families.

Education is at the heart of our mission. We are committed to providing current evidence-based practices and resources to families, healthcare providers, and the broader community.

We are dedicated to empowering families with the knowledge and confidence to make informed choices about feeding and lactation.

We actively promote policies and practices that support breastfeeding, both in healthcare settings and the broader community. We advocate for the removal of barriers and the implementation of supportive environments that enable individuals to achieve their feeding and lactation goals without discrimination.
