Our story
About “LAtchly”- We are registered Nurses and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) who believe that every mother deserves more than just the basics. That’s why we created LAtchly: to provide compassionate, personalized support for breastfeeding and postpartum care with a little something extra. The postpartum season isn’t just about feeding schedules and diaper changes, it’s about carrying an invisible weight that can feel overwhelming. The mental load of navigating sleepless nights, healing bodies, emotional changes, and the constant responsibility of caring for a newborn is real. At LAtchly, we don’t just recognize this, we’ve lived it. Through our own journeys as mothers and our years of professional experience supporting families, we deeply understand how exhaustion, emotions, and expectations can impact your well-being. That’s why our care goes beyond practical support. We provide a safe, compassionate space where you can exhale, share the load, and feel truly supported. Whether you’re preparing for your first latch, managing pumping, or facing unexpected feeding challenges, you don’t have to do it alone.
About “Hello Mom”- Mother-Baby Nurse Concierge was created by hospital nurses who have spent years caring for families in some of the largest facilities in our region. Day after day, we’ve seen the same problem: families are discharged quickly, often before they feel ready, and once they arrive home, the support they truly need simply isn’t there. Too often, new parents are left to figure it out on their own; feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure where to turn. Through our nurse-led concierge services, we bring compassionate, professional care directly into your home. Whether it’s hands-on newborn support, help navigating feeding and sleep, or simply creating space for parents to rest and recover, we’re here to bridge the gap between hospital discharge and confident parenthood.
We’re honored to walk with you offering gentle guidance, clinical knowledge, and wholehearted care in every step.

Megan Knippers, RN, BSN, IBCLC
Megan, RN, BSN, IBCLC, is Co-Founder of LAtchly and Hello Mom. Megan began her nursing career as a medical surgical nurse gaining a strong foundation in clinical care and critical thinking. Megan has specialized in postpartum mother-baby care and lactation for over 6 years.
As a mom of two with breastfeeding experience, Megan will offer support, education, compassion, and empathy to other moms. Her journey into lactation support started long before earning the credentials, it began with her own breastfeeding experience. “Like many of the families I support, I have faced my own feeding challenges; including mastitis, latch struggles, tears at 2am, supplementation and emotional ups and downs that come with early postpartum life.” Navigating those early days with her children gave her a deep appreciation for the support families truly need.
That lived experience combined with her clinical training fuels her passion for helping others feel confident, informed, and empowered on their feeding journey.
