Lactation Consultant in Tampa, Florida | In-Home & Virtual IBCLC | Lactation Loop
Tampa is one of Florida's fastest-growing and most exciting cities — and Lactation Loop is proud to bring board-certified IBCLC care directly to Tampa families. Whether you prefer an in-home visit in your own space or a convenient virtual appointment, expert lactation support is just a booking away.
Lactation Loop is a national team of 20+ board-certified IBCLCs offering in-home and virtual lactation consultations to families across Tampa and the greater Hillsborough County area. We come to you — your home, your nursery, your environment — so you can focus on what matters most: you and your baby.
Lactation Loop's own Maria Grey, IBCLC, serves families throughout the North Tampa Bay communities. Maria brings extensive experience supporting families through exclusive pumping, extended breastfeeding, tongue and lip ties, oversupply, food sensitivities, and breastfeeding after trauma. She also helped found Hernando's Breast Friends — an online breastfeeding support group for the Nature Coast community — and brings that same passion for community-based support to every family she works with.
We also have a St. Petersburg office inside The Paloma House, a women-centered community space where motherhood, wellness, work, and connection all coexist. This is not just a lactation office. It is a postpartum village.
