private practice IBCLC
Elizabeth C Brooks JD IBCLC (LLC), Pennsylvania, United States
Liz Brooks is a private practice International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and licensed lawyer. She works bedside at two BFHI-designated hospitals, and in parents’ homes. Lactation helpers (like IBCLCs) struggle with ethical, legal, and moral concerns in their everyday work settings. With plain language and humor, Liz shares tips for immediate use, to protect both the family and the clinician. She authored the only textbook on legal and ethical issues for the IBCLC, and writes extensively for other textbooks, blogs, and peer-reviewed journals. Liz is a popular international conference speaker, using wit and wisdom to share pragmatic suggestions for anyone who supports lactating and human milk-using families. Liz self-identifies as a cisgender hetero white woman with unearned privilege, uses she/her/hers pronouns, and advocates for inclusive care and language.
