How is the general availability of jobs for lactation consultants?
Availability of jobs for lactation consultants depends largely on where you live. You can contact local hospitals and physician offices to find out if they have lactation consultants and if so, how many. You can go to Find A Lactation Consultant on the ILCA website to find lactation consultants in your area and talk with them. ILCA members also have access to job listings in the “Career Mart” on the Members Only side of the ILCA website. Your national ILCA affiliate may also have resources on job placement of lactation consultants.
