Jacqueline Cropper, APRN, FNP-BC, IBCLC, PMH-C
Jacqueline (Jackie) earned her Bachelor's of Science in Nursing and commissioned as a Registered Nurse in the US Air Force in 2009. She served as a labor and delivery nurse caring for our active duty military members and their families. Jackie quickly realized there was a significant lack of knowledge about lactation and breastfeeding among her healthcare colleagues. As a second lieutenant Jackie became one of two Certified Lactation Counselors (CLC) within the medical group and co-established a base breastfeeding support group.
Jackie has worked as a Registered Nurse in Maternal-Child nursing since 2009 and has been an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant since 2013. She earned her Masters of Science as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2020 with the primary goal of providing expert care to new families. In addition to her extensive training and self-study of lactation care, Jackie has sought out additional training to competently provide care for families who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns related to having a new baby. She is certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International.
