A doctor registered with Ahpra (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), with additional expertise in breastfeeding medicine.
Also an IBCLC (lactation consultant)
An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is a health professional who has completed more than 1,000 hours of clinical practice, 90 hours of lactation education and a comprehensive exam. It is the most widely recognised lactation qualification. Every doctor in our directory is a registered medical practitioner, and many also hold the IBCLC qualification.
Performs tongue-tie release
This doctor assesses babies for tongue-tie and other oral restrictions, and performs a release (frenotomy) when it is needed. Not every feeding problem is caused by tongue-tie, so a full feeding assessment comes first.
