My name is Keneda Lynch, MSN, BSW, RN, IBCLC, and I am the Lead Lactation Consultant at a local hospital and owner of Latch of Love Lactation Services. With years of experience supporting mothers and babies in both the hospital and home settings, my approach centers on nourishing the relationship between parent and child through evidence-based care, compassion, and realistic guidance. I believe every family deserves support that feels safe, judgment-free, and tailored to their unique feeding journey—whether that includes exclusive breastfeeding, combination feeding, pumping, or navigating early challenges.

I was inspired to become a Lactation Consultant after working in the Maternal Child Division at Tampa General Hospital.
