Did you Certify or Recertify in 2018?
Let us know!

IBLCE does not share the names of new certificants with the professional organizations. Take a moment to let us know if you're recently IBCLC certified or recertified by emailing info@klicbreastfeeding.org. If you are a resident of Kentucky or Southern Indiana, we'd like to recognize your achievement.

Also, if you achieved another lactation certificate, such as CLC, CLS, or CLE, please let us know. These companies do not share the names of their graduates with us either.

Consider joining KLIC, your professional association! See the info above!

Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Bill Prefiled for 2019 KY Legislature

On September 19, BR 51, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, was prefiled by Kentucky Senator Alice Forgy Kerr. This bill clarifies the accommodations that Kentucky employers need to make for pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding employees. It will be considered during the 2019 session of the Kentucky General Assembly.

Right now, advocates are collecting stories from women about their experiences at work. They can be both positive and negative. These stories help to support the need for this legislation, to better help employers understand what they need to do to help their employees. Stories can be given at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1GWuqzBVO1Rb_C85xfCGYpuC9hmF3c67XsFLKybJBg1o/viewform?edit_requested=true
