The Associação Portuguesa dos Consultores de Lactação (APCLC) is a Portuguese nonprofit association bringing together professionals from different fields who have specialised in the science of lactation. It promotes knowledge and understanding of human lactation and breastfeeding support, and provides information for families, professionals and people interested in the field.

APCLC explains the role of an IBCLC, or International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, a professional specialised in lactation science who supports breastfeeding and human lactation. The association shares information about its consultants and about initial and continuing IBCLC education. Its guidance outlines the knowledge, lactation-specific education and clinical experience candidates need, including the different experience requirements associated with certification eligibility routes.

The organisation also connects its community through public events, news and association updates, including information about its governance and activities. Visitors can find documents, ethical and conduct codes, contact details and membership information through its website. Based in Carnide, Lisbon, APCLC serves as a resource for learning about lactation consulting and the professional standards and preparation involved in this area.
