Frequently Asked Questions
A lactation consultant is a professional who specializes in providing support and guidance to breastfeeding parents. Our lactation consultant can help with a variety of issues including latching difficulties, low milk supply, and breastfeeding positions.
Painful breastfeeding, low milk supply, latching issues, slow weight gain, fussiness at the breast or breastfeeding refusal, clogged ducts, engorgement or overactive let down are just some of the reasons it may be time to seek a professional evaluation.
We do offer a sliding scale as well as payment plans. We are hopeful to be working with insurance very soon.
Yes! Breastfeeding is the natural conclusion to pregnancy and birth. But “natural” doesn’t always mean “easy”! Breastfeeding is a skill that takes some time for both parent and baby to learn, and each breastfeeding pair is unique.
Whether you’re expecting your first baby or you’ve welcomed one before, visiting with an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC or lactation consultant, for short) before your baby arrives can help you prepare to breastfeed or provide expressed milk as well as get answers for common breastfeeding questions.
I serve the Central Texas area, including Austin, Fort Cavazos, Killeen, Waco, Temple, Georgetown, Round Rock, and Belton.
I also offer virtual consultations and appointments in addition to in-person options.
