Lactation Consultant in Plymouth, Michigan | IBCLC Near You | Lactation Loop
If you're searching for a lactation consultant near you in Plymouth, Michigan, Lactation Loop's board-certified IBCLCs are ready to help. Our founder, Jennifer Chivas, started her career right here — as a Labor & Delivery nurse at Novi's Henry Ford Providence Park Ascension Hospital from 2008 to 2011, then went on to run the hospital's lactation department from 2011 to 2017. That's six years spent helping local families in the exact hospital many of them delivered in. Today, our Michigan team carries that same connection forward — Lisa Levy, who still works part-time in Labor & Delivery at that same Novi hospital, also sees patients for Lactation Loop, and Heather Carnaghi splits her time between our team and Labor & Delivery at Henry Ford Hospital Southfield. We serve Plymouth families with in-home lactation consultant visits, in-office appointments at our Farmington Hills and Ann Arbor locations, and virtual consultations — so expert breastfeeding support is always within reach.
In-Home Visit — $225 | In-Office Visit — $150 | Virtual Visit — $100 | Most insurance accepted | Most families pay $0
Available Monday–Sunday, 9am–8pm. Same-week appointments often available.
