Who is this Program for?
This Program is designed for practitioners who:

- Value supervision, accountability and professional standards
- Are working toward specialist practice or future IBCLC registration
This Program is suitable for midwives, IBCLCs, doulas, osteopaths, health visitors, peer supporters, allied health professionals, and committed individuals seeking to build a professional practice in infant feeding support.
Many practitioners also choose this training as part of their preparation for the IBCLC exam, as the program provides structured, lactation-specific education aligned with IBCLC competencies (subject to meeting IBLCE eligibility requirements).

Two Training Pathways
At the heart of this training is the Infant Feeding Coach™ Core Program — a comprehensive, clinically focused program designed to develop deep competence in infant feeding assessment and support.
The Core Program forms the foundation of the entire pathway and provides some of the most in-depth virtual training available for practitioners supporting families with infant feeding.
Practitioners who successfully complete the Core training qualify as an Infant Feeding Coach™. Graduates may then choose to register with The Infant Feeding Academy as a Registered Infant Feeding Coach™, and may also register their qualification with FEDANT as a Breastfeeding Counsellor. As with all professional registrations, maintaining active status requires ongoing CPD.
For practitioners who wish to extend their scope further, the Advanced Infant Feeding Coach™ Pathway builds on the Core training and includes additional certifications in Perinatal Coaching Skills and Infant Tongue-tie Support, together with further professional development through Progress & Mastery.
Advanced Infant Feeding Coach™ Pathway (Core Program + Additional Certifications)
The Advanced Pathway includes the full Infant Feeding Coach™ Core Program together with additional certifications in Perinatal Coaching Skills and Infant Tongue-tie Support for practitioners who wish to extend their clinical scope.
