Families in Palmetto and Ellenton have real, local options for lactation support. Amanda Bartles, Linda Caiger, and Beth McHoul — all based in St. Petersburg — along with Allison Heilman, who lives locally in Parrish, are among the Lactation Loop IBCLCs who regularly serve this part of Manatee County. You can meet with any of them in-home, at our St. Petersburg or Lakewood Ranch office, or virtually from wherever's easiest.
