About Our Lactation Specialist

Lynnette grew up in southeast Tennessee and will forever consider herself a Tennessee girl. After graduating from nursing school, she started her nursing career in pediatrics at the University of Tennessee Memorial Hospital. There she first realized her love for babies and all things related to family. In 1993, after several years at home raising her two wonderful children, she was recruited to obtain her International Lactation Consultant certification. She was instrumental in establishing the first hospital-based breastfeeding program in Palm Beach County. For almost 20 years she taught breastfeeding and baby care classes, as well as provided education for physicians, nurses, and students as part of one of the leading Breastfeeding Resource Centers in South Florida. She has extensive experience in both hospital-based and private lactation consultations. Lynnette has been integral in helping to establish the Breastfeeding Center of Boca Raton and has been with us since 2013. In her spare time, she loves baking with her two grandsons. She is incredibly passionate about families and takes great joy in assisting them on their breastfeeding journey.
