Founded by Kristen L. Sorondo, Registered Nurse & Lactation Consultant
Orlando Lactation and Newborn Services
Created by a nurse with a team of nurses behind you - collectively representing over 200 years of nursing experience! Since 2005, Kristen Sorondo has been honored to serve many Central Florida families as a Registered Nurse, Lactation Consultant, Birth Doula, and provider of general postpartum support and night nursing. Orlando Lactation has since grown to include an entire staff of skilled Registered Nurses to add Newborn Services to our offerings (and to our name!). In 2022 we further expanded by adding a Sleep Consultant and Placenta Encapsulation services. A true dream team for new parents!

I refer many of my patients to Kristen because of her availability, knowledge and excellent rapport. She is practical & communicates well with me as the physician to offer an individualized plan of care for each mother & her baby.
Dr. Nicole Gagliano, Pediatrician
Kristen Sorondo has been an amazing resource for my patients. Her lactation support services have been very helpful and she sends reports on patient’s progress to the referring providers. She also provides night nurse services for postpartum mothers who may be overwhelmed and sleep deprived during the first few weeks of a newborn’s life. As mothers many of us have been there and getting a nurse that is experienced in this field is amazing! She has background in postpartum obstetric and early newborn care. I recommend Kristen wholeheartedly for the services she provides.
Dr. Ann Marie D'Heureux-Jones, OBGYN
I truly cannot say enough about Kristen. She is extremely knowledgeable. This absolutely her area of expertise. She stayed with my family overnight for months after my son was born. I trust her implicitly. I did struggle with breastfeeding and Kristen was there every step of the way. I’m not sure I could have done it without her.
Leslie M.
Having a baby is life-changing and can be overwhelming. Meeting Kristen was such a blessing. We met with her before having our daughter and she went over everything to expect and made me feel so much more at ease and comfortable with my choice to breastfeed. After our daughter was born we were having some difficulties and Kristen immediately caught on that there was a medical problem that needed to be addressed by my ob. Kristen has always gone above and beyond to support in every way imaginable. I am in awe of all she does and she’s not only excellent, she’s passionate! I was able to have a beautiful 16 months of breastfeeding my daughter until she self-weaned.
