Jennifer A Whitt BSN RN, IBCLC

---

My oldest is the reason why I became an IBCLC in 2014.  When she was born there were very few resources for breastfeeding support in this area once you were home from the hospital. She was very irritable and had horrible reflux.  It was a chore to feed her by 6 weeks of age and she would scream during feeds whether she nursed or bottle fed.  At the age of 12 she continued to have oral aversions and I want to try to support families who may be experiencing difficulties by finding what works for them. 

I started working as a RN in Rochester, NY in the NICU in 2008. This is where I was introduced to lactation support and found my passion working with families and their new babies.  

In 2011, I moved back to my hometown of Elmira, NY and worked first as a bedside nurse in the NICU before becoming interim manager.  I quickly realized that I missed working with families. 

When I was offered the position at BirthN'Beyond where I would be able to learn to become an ultrasonographer and be able to practice as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I gladly accepted so that I could start this journey at Whitt's End as well as work one on one with families again.

I strive to support our patients and help them achieve their breastfeeding goals.  I am very family oriented, have nursed my 3 beautiful children for a combined total of 10 years and have a wonderful supportive family and friends.

I have been blessed to be a part of Jen's family for over 10 years now. I started doing Daycare in my home back in 2002 to be able to stay home with my children. My children have now graduated so I decided to move on from daycare.  

My family is my life. My husband is an assistant principle at a local high school. I have a daughter and son and I can't forget about my dog, Molly!!!

I am the voice you hear when you call to schedule appointments or have questions about billing or insurance. When Jen's kids are in the office, you will see me hanging out or feeding them as Jen calls me their "second mom."
