Megan Kindred, PhD, APRN, FNP-C, IBCLC

Megan is a board-certified lactation consultant and family nurse practitioner and is the manager of the Lactation Foundation.

“I became motivated to help parents with breastfeeding after I had my first set of twins in 2005.  They were born 5 weeks early at about 4.5 pounds each and spent weeks in the NICU. At that time, there was little breastfeeding support available in the NICU and even less help available after hospital discharge. I really had to fend for myself, and, as a result, I decided that I wanted to help improve access to care.”

Megan has 5 children, including two sets of twins. She enjoys spending time with her family and their pets. Her current research explores prenatal determinants of lactation outcomes and the development of anticipatory interventions to improve breastfeeding duration. She also has an interest in genetic and endocrine factors associated with lactation.
