I had my first prenatal consultation with Keneda and it truly went amazing. She was so incredibly personable, warm, and really easy to talk to which made me feel comfortable right away! She took the time to throughly explain breastfeeding, including latching techniques, hand expressing, and what to realistically expect once my baby arrives so I’m well prepared. I really appreciate how patient and knowledgeable she was, she didn’t rush through anything and made sure all my questions were answered. I definitely feel more confident and prepared for my breastfeeding journey and can’t wait to continue learning from her once my baby arrives and get that hands on guidance and support.
It’s also amazing that she offers in home visits which makes the whole experience 10x better and convenient during such an important time. I highly recommend her to any other mamas looking for guidance and support, you’ll definitely be in good hands!

We met Keneda from Latch of Love at MOAB in Tampa, and from the very first interaction she was incredibly genuine and kind. After our baby arrived, we scheduled an appointment with her and I’m so glad we did. She made me feel completely comfortable, never made me feel silly for the questions I had, and took the time to explain everything in a way that really built my confidence.
Her guidance truly set me up for breastfeeding success, and I’m so grateful for her support during such an important (and sometimes overwhelming) time. I’m already looking forward to our next appointment!
I highly recommend her to any new mom looking for knowledgeable, compassionate help!

I came to Keneda at 3 weeks postpartum because I was struggling with both latching and pumping. At the time, I never thought I would be able to exclusively breastfeed, I was a severe undersupplier and felt completely discouraged.
Now, at 2 months postpartum, I’m not only exclusively breastfeeding and pumping, but I’ve built a freezer stash and even become an oversupplier!
Keneda taught me everything I needed to know, from proper pumping techniques and schedules to flange sizing, as well as effective breastfeeding positions and techniques. I walked into our session feeling completely lost, and left with so much confidence and knowledge.
Even though we only had one session, Keneda went above and beyond by checking in with me regularly through text, offering continued support, and answering any questions I had. I truly owe so much of my success to her and can’t recommend her enough.

I did a prenatal lactation consultation with Keneda and she was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions including the right type of equipment to buy including the right pillow, bottles/nipples, and pump supplies. I feel much more confident and prepared after our session and look forward to continuing to work with her after our baby is born!
— Elaine Tan
Keneda was simply amazing! We learned more from her in one hour than we did from any latch consultant for our first two children. She brings a positive and full of life energy that leaves you with confidence in the path forward. Keneda also explained the why behind everything to ensure we understood what she was talking about! We are truly grateful for her service and recommend all to give her a call!
— adam bruneau
Keneda was amazing. She took the time to carefully explain breastfeeding techniques, positioning, and how to improve latch. She was very patient and supportive, especially during a stressful time for new parents. Her advice made a big difference for our baby and helped make breastfeeding a positive experience. We truly appreciate her help and highly recommend her to other families.
— Harshesh Patel
Keneda radiates pure love, warmth, and joy. She is a gem of a person and I highly recommend her as she is the most caring person I’ve ever come across. She truly cares about every mother that she helps, and truly made a difference in my life during difficult periods of my postpartum journey. She radiates so much positivity and is so knowledgeable.
— Reshma
My wife and I are extremely happy we had a consultation with Keneda. She was kind, supportive, and extremely informative.
— Ethan
I had a great visit today with Keneda from Latch of Love! She took her time to explain everything to my husband and I in great detail, showing us demos and giving us hands-on guidance. She gave us tangible tools and directions we can now use with each feeding and pumping session, and goals to work towards. Most importantly, as a new mom, I felt heard, seen and supported. I would highly recommend Latch of Love to anyone and everyone on a breastfeeding journey! Thank you Keneda!
— Kelli Eichorn
Before meeting with Keneda, we were seriously considering giving up on breastfeeding. One session with her and we’ve been on track since( (baby is 7 months now). I wish we’d met with her as soon as we brought baby home rather than waiting a month. She is kind, patient, and encouraging, and we are so grateful to her!
— Hillary Vass
Keneda has been amazing with my postpartum journey with breastfeeding. I had a lactation consultant help with latching in the hospital but she was rushed and I couldn’t keep my son latched without it being painful. I was referred to Latch of Love and booking was extremely easy. Keneda came with all her necessary equipment to help me. I loved that she wore gloves and wore a mask and asked permission to touch me and/or my baby. She was very friendly and very informative with all the questions I had. What truly surprised me was after a couple of weeks after our appointment, I received a call from Keneda following up with the breastfeeding journey. During that conversation, she encouraged and empowered me to continue with my journey and I felt seen and heard. If I ever plan to have more kids, I will definitely use Latch of Love and recommend any moms-to-be. Thank you for your service ❤️.
— Sabrina Jean
Latch of Love is amazing!
by far the best lactation consultant in town. Keneda is incredibly supportive, caring, and knowledgeable, and you can feel that she genuinely loves what she does.
As a mother herself, she brings both expertise and deep understanding, making you feel seen, encouraged, and cheers you on every step of the journey.
I am so grateful for the care, confidence, and support she provided. I cannot recommend Latch of Love enough.
— Naomi Ternival
Very informative and helpful! Very kind and nurturing.
— Sandy Gautier
Keneda has been such wonderful support for me and my little one when it came to nursing. It was super easy to make an appointment once my insurance information was submitted, reviewed and approved. Keneda did house visits with us which was seamless and she made us feel very comfortable through the whole visit. You’ll also get detailed notes following the visit as well that outlines everything discussed and plan of actions, if any.
— Anna Fornelli
Keneda is wonderful and has been so helpful through my whole breastfeeding journey! We had our first session before my daughter was born and it was so empowering to know what to expect when I first started feeding her at the hospital when things can feel overwhelming. Then Keneda continued to help me adjust at each stage of feeding, pumping and going back to work. She has such a positive and knowledgeable presence, she really set our family up for success!
— Lauren Drobisch
Keneda was absolutely amazing! She was so patient and knowledgeable. She truly took the time to listen and address any concerns that I had. I highly recommend her and the service for any new parent needing guidance with breastfeeding!!
— Escarolyn Garcia
I am approaching 3 months post-partum and I have been Keneda’s client quickly following the one-month visit where baby girl did not meet her birth weight. Our peds doc wanted me to begin fortifying my milk whereas before I was exclusively breastfeeding. Our whole world got flipped upside down with now needing to pump and bottle feed; Keneda helped us navigate those daunting waters.
She taught me how to effectively electric pump, what foods to eat, and gave other tips to increase supply. Prior to our sessions, I was only pumping 2-3 oz. very painfully with a manual pump. Now, I pump 4-6 oz. during a normal pump session and 8-10 oz. in a power pump session. So much progress within 2 months!!
My little one is now at a very healthy weight and we are reincorporating breastfeeding again with Keneda’s guidance on how to relatch after getting used to the ease of drinking from a bottle. I have had a few emergency situations and she was always very responsive and clear on the best ways to resolve issues at hand. She is also reaches out to check-in on how everything is going and provides me with support and advice.
I am a perfectionist so I tend to get in my own head and stress more than necessary. Keneda is very patient and knowledgeable in answering my plethora of questions. She also points out when I need to take a step back and see everything we accomplished in such a short span of time. I can have a peace of mind knowing that Keneda is on this journey with us and is committed to my daughter’s health/growth!
— Jasmin Marshall
Keneda is incredible and a life saver! I consulted with her when my baby was about 3 weeks old and we were dealing with a lot of different issues including but not limited to cluster feeding, long feeding sessions, reduced milk supply, bottle vs breast preference. Her warmth and expertise was exactly what I needed. She gave us specific pointers to try out that actually worked, and she did so in a compassionate but firm way that made me receptive to what she had to say. I am currently enjoying a lot of success on my exclusive breastfeeding journey and I owe a lot of that to her. Thank you!
— Chidinma Obi Sedenu
Working with Keneda at latch of love has made breastfeeding so much more manageable and has empowered us to exclusively breastfeed. We started with a prenatal visit which set us up for success once baby arrived. We also love that she does home visits so we can avoid having to go out with a newborn. In between visits she is so responsive to all our first time parent questions. She has made us feel so comfortable and makes the effort to get to know you and your family.
— Aimee Manjarres
Keneda has been a life saver for me as a first time mom! I’ve had her come for 3 in home appointments and she is extremely caring, attentive and spends detailed time hands on helping with feeding techniques and answering my many questions. Her expertise has been key in me making it this far in breastfeeding. I would recommend Latch of Love to any new mom or mom struggling with breastfeeding.
— Becca R
Keneda is absolutely wonderful to work with! She is very knowledgeable and thorough. Her guidance has enriched my nursing experience and given me the confidence and tools to be successful. She is also very encouraging and supportive. I loved working with her and recommend her services to all mamas!
— Leyla Samur
I’m pretty sure Keneda is an angel on earth. I’m a first time mom, high risk, pregnant with twins … and I couldn’t be more thankful to have found Latch of Love through a referral from a friend.
While on a hospital stay- all the nurses were raving about how excellent she Keneda is, and how so many of them learned what they knew from her 💕 Even ahead of our first appt, her reputation was so inspiring.
One meeting in and I’m already feeling much more prepared in what to expect, and most importantly- feeling like I have support and encouragement on this journey.
She’s a ray of honest sunshine and so uplifting when things can seem so overwhelming. 💛💛
— Courtney Pope
Amazing service! From the minute Keneda walked into our home, her warmth, expertise, and enthusiasm put us at ease! I cannot recommend Latch of Love enough!!
— Abby R.
I would not have had a successful pumping journey if it weren’t for Keneda. She supported me from day 1. I was extremely overwhelmed and she helped me boost my confidence in breastfeeding/ pumping for my baby. I value her opinion and her expertise. Thank you!
— DaNesa Marshall
Keneda helped get my baby off nipple shield's! She helped our breastfeeding journey and has been such great support! I highly recommend!!
— Jordan Range
Keneda is incredible. It was such a great experience to have her come and answer all my questions and help me feel more confident with nursing. She is extremely knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking lactation support!
— Audrey Hunsaker
Keneda is amazing. I’m a 36 year-old FTM. At the hospital 2 days after my baby’s birth, I produced my first 2 drops of colostrum. My baby was born SGA, so feeding him well was vital. I wanted to breastfeed but had no idea where to begin. Luckily, thru a prenatal course I completed, I received the recommendation to connect with Keneda and Latch of Love. A true answer to prayer! Keneda provided a priceless amount of wisdom and care and brought ease to my situation. She taught baby boy to latch on my right and left (and left had its challenges!), and helped me transform my supply from drops to ounces. I am now, because of Keneda, confident, grounded and at peace with my lactation situation. My baby is gaining weight and thriving - I am thriving too! Keneda supported me and encouraged me selflessly, and never pressured me to take a path I didn’t want to walk down. The fact that she makes home visits was hugely beneficial, and she was a pro at handling my newborn with such grace and care. She even taught me a new bottle feeding technique! My mom says Keneda “makes the air sparkle” and it is absolutely true. I feel so blessed she was part of my journey.
— Julz Ericson
Keneda came to my house today for our first appointment and was so helpful and sweet. She was very considerate and sensitive to my postpartum feelings and helped me learn new holds and latch my baby boy and we made a plan for our breastfeeding journey that works for our family. I’m so excited to keep working with her next week! Latch of love is wonderful and it was so easy to get my appointments (covered by insurance). 10/10
— Javiera Solís Arancibia
The breastfeeding journey was only possible because of Kenada! Thank you so much for your expertise and support, we will be forever grateful!
— Lara Ferreira
I had an amazing experience with my lactation consultant Keneda! She was incredibly helpful, informative, and patient, taking the time to answer all my questions and provide practical tips for breastfeeding. Her support gave me the confidence I need to succeed on my breastfeeding journey, and I feel empowered and ready to tackle any challenges ahead. I’m so grateful for her expertise and guidance!
— Madison Atkinson
I had an amazing experience with Latch of Love Lactation . Keneda services was outstanding, and knew exactly what I was looking for in my breastfeeding journey. She answered all my questions and was so knowledgeable about breastfeeding. Definitely will be coming back to her in the future, and I recommend Latch of Love lactation to all the mamas!!!
— Farheen Bari
Nurse Keneda was awesome and very professional. As a first-time-mom, I really needed her advice and guidance. Thanks to her, my baby is no longer underweight and is in the 98th percentile as of my last checkup on 7/25. She KNOWS what she is talking about. During one of her visits we casually mentioned that my baby had a frenectomy to release her tonge tie. She asked if we were given tongue exercises to do on her, as in some instances it can grow back. I told her we were not. So I booked an appointment with the pediatric dentist who I had done the procedure at for a follow up; and it turns out it did regrow sadly. So we had to do it again and specifically asked about the exercises, and thankfully all is well!
— Nora Kandil
I was really overwhelmed with the idea of pumping because of the amount of parts and sizes. Keneda came to my home and explained everything to me and more! I’m so glad I was recommended their services!
— Isabela Richards
Keneda was so helpful with any and all aspects of breastfeeding, breast care, and answering my many questions. Home visits were so helpful in the beginning and weighing my son gave me peace of mind in between pediatrician appointments. I would highly recommend Lat h if Love!
— Bailey Brown
Keneda was a great lactation consultant to me as a first time mom. I met with a variety of lactation consultants but had the best experience with her as she did not push nursing at the breast as I wanted to exclusively pump. She was extremely informative and supportive as I had some issues with supply. I will definitely be seeking her services for my future pregnancies and would recommend to all mamas.
— Marlande Valentin
I had the pleasure of working with Keneda as my lactation consultant. I was under supplying for my babies needs and she had very helpful tips to get my supply back up! I am now able to pump and breastfeed! She also does follow ups to ensure the best for you and baby! She full of knowledge and encouragement! Thank you so much for all your help!
— Nayali Jones
If you are looking for help to have your baby latch look no further. Since I had no milk production after birth, it was really hard to keep my baby latched on. I was on the verge of giving up until I received service from Latch of Love. I was able to have my baby latch but what I really loved about Keneda is that she followed up with me to see how my journey was going. I stopped latching the baby on and started pumping which I felt was a better journey for me. She gave me affirmation about how long I wanted my journey to be and assured me that as long as my baby is fed that’s all that matters. When I started pumping, I was producing about 2oz in total but with the motivation and a personal plan to produce more milk from Keneda I was able to produce 8oz in a couple of months after. I definitely would recommend using any of the services provided because she will have a personal plan for you and your baby and you will have a positive outcome. I will definitely be using her service for my second baby.
— Alain Jean
Latch of love is truly heaven sent! Keneda, the lactation consultant is absolutely amazing. As soon as I met her I knew I was in great hands. She was so sweet and genuinely helpful! You can tell she is truly passionate in what she does. I was experiencing such a hard time with effectively breastfeeding and pumping. My baby girl was not completely latching on, and when I tried to pump I was not producing much milk. I didn’t know what to do, I search the internet, spoke with different lactation consultants from the hospital I gave birth at, but nothing was working.
I found latch of love and after just a few visits and meetings my baby girl is now latching on and I went from 1 oz to now effectively pumping 7 oz. I can’t thank her enough she was so patient, professional, showed empathy, and very flexible, she even did a remote visit with me when I couldn’t meet in person. She was so knowledgeable and provided helpful tips and resources. I have already referred her services to all my family and friends. Thank you soo soo much Keneda.
— Marsha Cherenfant
Keneda is so helpful!! I am so grateful for all the advice and help. I had a lot of issues at first and felt like giving up and was exclusively pumping and now after our appointments I am successfully able to breastfeed. She’s so sweet and caring, I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their little ones!!
— Arielle Nicole
Keneda, I cannot thank you enough for all your help during my first few weeks of my breastfeeding journey. You are so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Thank you for answering all my questions and making me feel more confident and empowered as a first time mama. Highly recommend Latch of Love.
