Lactation Consultant in the Metro Detroit Area
Written by Jennifer Chivas, RN, BSN, IBCLC — Founder, Lactation Loop
If you're searching for a lactation consultant in the Detroit area, you're in good hands — this is where it all started for Lactation Loop. I began my career right here in Metro Detroit, working in labor and delivery before I ever became an IBCLC. It was on that unit, holding newborns in their very first hours, that I found my calling and began honing the lactation skills that would eventually become Lactation Loop. Today I split my time between Michigan and Florida, but Metro Detroit families are still getting support from the same roots this practice was built on.
Metro Detroit is one of the largest and most diverse metro areas in the country — and breastfeeding families here deserve access to the gold standard in lactation care. Lactation Loop's IBCLCs are Registered Nurses and Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultants who bring clinical expertise and genuine, personalized support directly to your home or meet you in one of our convenient Michigan office locations.
