Find Lactation Consultant Jobs in St. Petersburg, FL

We are expecting our first baby around November 24, 2026, and plan to deliver at The Baby Place in St. Petersburg. We are looking for a highly experienced, certified birth doula who has attended at least 50 births and is very comfortable supporting hospital deliveries. Tania is currently leaning toward having an epidural, but we want someone who can support her decisions without pushing a particular type of birth. We would prefer a doula who is calm and reassuring but can also be confident and assertive when appropriate. We want help understanding our options, communicating with the medical team, and making informed decisions if the birth does not go according to plan. As first-time parents, we are looking for guidance on how Jason can be an effective support person rather than being replaced by the doula. We would like someone who can help us determine the best division of roles during labor and adapt based on what Tania needs. We would like the package to include: • One or two prenatal planning meetings • Childbirth education or a birthing class • On-call availability around the due date • Continuous support throughout labor and delivery • At least one postpartum follow-up visit • Breastfeeding or lactation guidance, either directly or through a trusted referral Experience supporting first-time parents, anxiety during labor, epidurals, hospital interventions, efforts to avoid unnecessary interventions, unexpected C-sections, and early breastfeeding would be important to us. Spanish fluency would be helpful but is not required. We have not established a firm budget yet and would like candidates to provide their full pricing, services included, payment schedule, cancellation policy, backup-doula arrangement, and any additional costs.

First baby, delivering in Tampa Florida at a non-military hospital. Hoping for an unmedicated birth and someone to support my husband also. I am searching for a doula covered by Tricare East.

My 5 week old won’t latch she dosent have any tongue tie issues she just has a bottle preference my guess is because it is easier and my supply is not going up as it should I know that stressing about it won’t help but it’s hard not to i prefer virtual

First baby. Planning a hospital birth, ideally manatee memorial hospital. Hoping for an unmediated birth but understand things may be out of my control. Roughly $2,500 to $3,000.

I have been working with a lactation consultant and she says my daughter has a good latch. I don’t believe it and want a second opinion. I’m 5 weeks and 4 days postpartum and feeding sometimes takes over an hour. She seems hungry soon after as well. I cry because I want her well fed. Pumping also hurts and no one takes me seriously.

Birth plan Breast Feeding Non medicated labor and delivery

Supply dropping, difficulty to accept formula. 8 months old not eating much solids

Hospital birth with as little intervention as possible No idea what the budget would be Do not have birth plan written out yet

My last birth was a freebirth at home, i would prefer to have a medical team of some sort on hand for a homebirth this time. I am currently uncertain on a budget. I would like to plan a homebirth if pregnancy remains low risk. Labor in a quiet, calm environment. Dim lighting. Minimal unnecessary interruptions. Freedom to move, walk, squat, kneel, or change positions as desired. Access to water for comfort measures and possible waterbirth if appropriate. I would prefer non medication comfort measures first. Water immersion, position changes, breathing techniques, massage and counter pressure, and encouragement from support people/team. I would like to avoid unnecessary interventions when i and the baby are doing well. Informed consent before any non-emergency procedures. I would also like to have clear explanations of risks, benefits, and alternatives before decisions are made whenever possible. For delivery i want to be able to push according to my bodys urges rather than directed pushing if safe unless i ask otherwise . Freedom to choose birthing position. I want the baby on my chest immediately if both of us are stable. The golden hour is very important to me. I want delayed cord clamping. I want my partners involved in the delivery and cutting the cord. I would also like to deliver our placenta naturally if safe. I would like to initiate breastfeeding as soon as possible. Routine newborn procedures delayed until after bonding when medically appropriate. Keep mother and baby together whenever possible. Transfer to hospital if medically necessary. Preference for clear communication throughout any transfer. I would prefer a provider who is open minded to odd family dynamics and who has been practicing for at least 5-6 years. I am 28 years old, this is my fifth pregnancy and hopefully fourth birth.

Three week old, hx of IUGR, with having to supplement with formula at delivery due to lack of milk supply related to C-section. Now on EBM but baby unable to latch, would love for home visit

Baby just recently got his tongue tie fixed and we need help, also im having some issues while pumping that would like to have addressed.

18 days old struggling with staying latched. She latched to my breast and then spits it out and fusses. I have to be pumping but I would like to breast feed sometimes with her accepting the breast. Virtual sessions.

My baby will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. She doesn’t like to latch on very long. Lactation specialists helped me in the hospital but my baby girl would always cry and scream when they tried to latch her onto me, after about 10 mins we would give her a bottle so she didn’t get super upset. She was born at 36 weeks 5 days so a little premature, everyone at hospital told me it might take her some time to want to nurse. I pump and she gets my breast milk from pumping and then I top the bottle off with formula when I feed her. I have to use a nipple shield for her to show any interest in latching but she just gets super frustrated when she realizes it’s not a bottle and she won’t try to latch. I have Medicare for insurance and they don’t cover lactation services. I’m willing to spend at most around $150 for someone to come visit my home and to help me. I am not comfortable with leaving the house with my baby to go somewhere to get lactation support help. My budget won’t allow me to spend more than $150 out of pocket for lactation support help to have someone come to my home.

1. Hospital birth most likely in case of complications 2. Unsure of what the costs are for this 3. Holistic based, but not opposed to an epidural.
