Lactation Consultant in South Tampa, Hyde Park & Bayshore, Florida | Lactation Loop IBCLC

If you're searching for a lactation consultant in South Tampa, Hyde Park, or Bayshore, Florida — Lactation Loop's board-certified IBCLCs are here for you. We serve families throughout South Tampa and surrounding Hillsborough County communities with in-home lactation consultant visits, in-office appointments at our St. Petersburg location inside Paloma House, and virtual consultations available 7 days a week, 9am to 8pm.

South Tampa is one of Tampa Bay's most vibrant and family-forward communities — walkable neighborhoods, top-rated schools, young professional families, and a growing population of new moms who deserve access to expert, gold-standard lactation care right in their own backyard. Lactation Loop's St. Petersburg team of board-certified IBCLCs — Amanda Bartles, Linda Caiger, and Beth McHoul — are ready to serve South Tampa families with the same evidence-based, compassionate care they bring to every family across the bay.

In-Home Visits — We Come to You

No bridge traffic. No packing up a newborn. Lactation Loop's IBCLCs come directly to your home in South Tampa, Hyde Park, Bayshore Beautiful, Davis Islands, Palma Ceia, Ballast Point, Seminole Heights, and surrounding South Tampa communities. In-home visits include a full 90-minute consultation covering latch assessment, weighted feeding, milk supply evaluation, pumping guidance, and a written care plan.

Our Closest In-Office Location — St. Petersburg at Paloma House

Prefer a clinical setting? Our St. Petersburg office is just across the bridge at:

Paloma House 10787 Oak Street NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33716

Paloma House is far more than a lactation office — it's a women's wellness community built for mothers. Under one roof you'll find private lactation consultations, pelvic floor therapy, mental health therapy, fitness classes with on-site playcare, co-working space, and a thriving community of new moms navigating the same season of life you're in. Many South Tampa families make the short trip across the bridge for the full Paloma House experience — then continue with in-home follow-up visits closer to home.

Virtual consultations are also available statewide across Florida for families who prefer to meet online. We're available Monday through Sunday, 9am–8pm.
