Ali Flores Lactation Consultant in Houston, TX
About Ali
Hi! I'm Ali and am happy to meet you! Drawing from my own personal encounters with breastfeeding, I've poured my heart into guiding mamas like you. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I can't emphasize enough the importance of understanding and support during this journey. When I think about my four kiddos and the challenges I faced with tongue and lip ties, it fills me with a fiery passion to make sure no momma feels alone in her breastfeeding quest. Embracing a holistic perspective, I firmly believe that the magic lies in wholehearted guidance, not just ticking off checklists. Having had the privilege of serving as a Mother/Baby nurse at St. Luke's the Woodlands Hospital and being a part of the amazing Texas Children’s Hospital team in the Houston Medical Center, I've witnessed the immense strength and resilience of mothers and their babies. Whether it's the NICU or an outpatient clinic, every mom and babe have a unique story, and I cherish being a part of it. Always learning, always growing, I'm active with the Houston Area Lactation Consultants and Educators Association (HALCEA), because there’s always something new on the horizon. But let me tell you, nothing compares to the joy of seeing new mothers discover their strength, trusting their instincts, and flourishing in their breastfeeding goals. When I’m not in my professional shoes, I’m fully immersed in the joy of homeschooling my children and being active in our church community. And speaking of communities, BCB feels like home. The kind of warmth and support I've felt here, especially during some challenging times, is what you'd expect from close-knit family. Working with clients and building relationships with some of the finest providers has been the cherry on top. So, let's do this together, y'all! Lean on my experience, my holistic approach, and my genuine wish to see you thrive in your breastfeeding journey. Here’s to new adventures and creating cherished memories! 💙

Breast Pump Only Office Visit (Self-Pay) - for up to 1 hour
Lactation consultants help with pumping too -- not just latching the baby to the breast! Most breastfeeding parents today end up using a breast pump at one point or another. And while the breast pumps are very convenient, no one really shows you how to use your pump, or help you if you are having problems with pumping. And some breastfeeding parents might choose to exclusively pump, instead of latching their baby directly to the breast. Ask yourself these questions about pumping: Which breast pump would be best for you? Are you using your pump correctly? Does pumping hurt? Are you using the right flange size? How do you get more milk when pumping? What about exclusively pumping? How do you wean from pumping? We can help answer or solve all these problems. *The Breast Pump Only visits do NOT include any infant assessments (latching ta the breast, oral assessment, etc.)
