Our Infant Nutrition Specialists

Brittany F., BSN, RN, IBCLC

 

Brittany graduated nursing school from the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, with her BSN, RN in 2009. She has worked in many different areas in nursing over the years but found her passion as a nurse once she started working with moms and babies. She loves to support and empower moms with whatever their feeding goals may be. With the 11 years of nursing experience and her own personal breastfeeding journey with both of her daughters, she is a knowledgeable and compassionate source for mothers and babies in our community.

Tracey O., BSN

 

Tracy came to nursing late, after many years as a stay at home mom, and many more years serving families in Bloomington, Indiana as a perinatal doula. She breast fed four of her six children, the other two being adopted out of foster care beyond breast feeding age. She graduated from Indiana University School of Nursing with a BSN, RN in 2012. Starting out as a Cardiovascular Critical Care nurse, she eventually gravitated back to mothers and babies. She has worked in the Sky Lakes Family Birthing Center since 2016, with the goal of helping the entire family get off to the best possible start.
