Lauren Kaplan

NP, IBCLC

MILK STREET MASSACHUSETTS

Lauren is a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with more than 13 years of experience in maternal-child health, including extensive experience caring for newborns and medically complex infants in Level III-IV NICUs and Special Care Nurseries. Her clinical background gives her a deep understanding of newborn feeding, infant health, and the many challenges families can encounter in the early postpartum period. As the first member of the practice serving families in Massachusetts, Lauren is excited to bring compassionate, evidence-based lactation support to families in her community.

 

Lauren believes that feeding support should be individualized, judgment-free, and centered on the needs of both baby and parent. As a parent herself, she understands firsthand how vulnerable, isolating, and overwhelming the postpartum period can feel, and how meaningful it is to have someone who listens and provides reassurance without judgment. She is passionate about helping families feel informed, supported, and confident - wherever their feeding journey takes them.

 

Lauren will be providing home visits in Massachusetts, as well as virtual visits.
