The Ohio Lactation Consultant Association regretfully announces the cancellation of Breastfest 2020: A 20/20 Vision of Breastfeeding. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and the Ohio Department of Health are recommending the suspension of all large group and mass gatherings. This decision has been very difficult to make for the planning committee, but we are concerned for the health of the speakers, attendees, exhibitors, and the mothers and families with whom we work. We are so very sad to be in this position, as we know and recognize that the in-person networking at events like Breastfest is very valuable and feeds the souls of so many of us and renews our spirits to continue in this line of work. Please watch your email for details regarding refunds of registration fees and what’s next.
Upcoming Events:
Due to COVID-19 and Coronavirus, at this time all OLCA meetings are postponed until further notice. Please check back frequently as information will be posted as it becomes available.

OLCA (Ohio Lactation Consultant Association) is one of the oldest and most active affiliates of the United States Lactation Consultant Association (USLCA). Our close ties to USLCA are strengthened by the direct involvement of our members. We fully embrace and are committed to the directives included in the World Health Organization, the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes, The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, and the ILCA Position Paper on Infant Feeding. Members of OLCA come from all over the state of Ohio. You do not have to be a certified Lactation Consultant to belong. Our members bring with them a wish to support and promote breastfeeding in our state. Some are members of the medical field, some are dietitians, others belong to LLL. Many of our members are active in other professional associations and serve as links for breastfeeding dialogue across the state. Learn more about membership here. |
