More about Elka Schwimmer, IBCLC, BSN

Elka "Tzippi" Schwimmer’s journey to becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) began in the NICU rocking chair with her first child, where she quickly learned that nursing wasn’t as simple as she had imagined. By the time she had her fourth child, she expected to be an expert in feeding, but each baby brought new and unique challenges. Through the support and guidance she received along the way, she not only overcame those challenges but also found her passion for helping other parents navigate their own feeding journeys. Tzippi earned her Bachelor’s in Nursing from New York University, which laid a strong foundation for her clinical expertise. She understands that while breastfeeding is natural, it isn’t always easy. Whether a parent wants to exclusively breastfeed, pump and bottle-feed, or find a combination that works best for their family, she is dedicated to providing the support and reassurance they need. Her goal is to help families feel confident that their little ones are getting the nourishment they need to grow and thrive.
