About me

Hello! I'm Lauren Wist the founder of Lactation with Lauren. I am a RN since 2009 at a large birthing hospital in Maryland and an IBCLC for the last 8 years and counting. I work in-patient in the hospital as a lactation consultant and am starting to provide care in families' homes to provide continued support. I love that each family I work with has their own story and their own journey. There are hard days and there are thriving days - I am honored to be part of each situation as we find the next right thing and reach personalized goals. When I am not using my IBCLC skills I love to spend time with my husband, 3 school aged kids, and young standard poodle. We enjoy visiting extended family members spread out along the East Coast, hiking in Patapsco State Park and traveling by airplane to new places when we have extra time together.

Lauren is amazing lactation consultant. She is patient , informative, and always helps you feel like you’re on the right track. Her suggestions are clear and encouraging. She brings a positive energy to the sometimes draining experience that is breastfeeding and infanthood. Never rushed, Lauren ensures that both mom and baby feel cared for. She is careful to include partners as well so they feel as involved as they would like to be. I highly recommend Lauren to all mothers!
