Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Brownsville, TX

Claudia was extremely helpful in diagnosing the issues I was having nursing my baby. Not only that my baby had a bad latch, and teaching me how to fix that, but also that my supply was low and how I can build it up. She was patient, attentive, and informative. 10/10 would recommend to any struggling mamas out there.

I’m incredibly grateful to have had her as my lactation consultant during the first few months of my breastfeeding journey. From the very beginning, she was so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. She helped me through so many questions and challenges, from breastfeeding and pumping to building my milk supply and figuring out what worked best for my baby and me. Her guidance gave me so much more confidence during a time when I often felt overwhelmed and unsure of myself. One thing that really stood out to me was how much she genuinely cared about my well-being. One night, I had a really bad breast engorgement and was very uncomfortable and worried. The next day, she called me to check on how I was doing and made sure I was okay. She took the time to listen, guide me, and help me figure out what to do. That meant so much to me because it showed that her care went beyond just the scheduled visits. She is also extremely professional and prepared. Every time she came to our home, she arrived with all of her materials clean, sterilized, and organized. You can tell that she takes her work very seriously and puts a lot of thought into every visit. She always came prepared to address whatever concerns I had that day and made every visit feel personalized to our needs. What I appreciated most, though, was the way she made me feel. She was never judgmental or pushy. She always listened to my concerns, explained things clearly, and reassured me when I needed it most. During those early months, having someone who was not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and genuinely invested in our breastfeeding journey made such a difference. She is truly an amazing lactation consultant and an even better person. I feel very lucky that we found her, and I will always be grateful for all the support, encouragement, and care she gave me and my baby. I highly recommend her to any mom looking for someone who is knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated to helping families succeed. We love you Claudia ❤️

Claudia was such a huge part of why my breastfeeding journey worked out. This was my first baby, and honestly, breastfeeding felt like a completely foreign world to me — I didn't grow up seeing it and my mom didn't breastfeed, so I had zero reference point. I was nervous about the whole thing. I found Claudia through a moms' group and booked a flange fitting with her about a week before my due date. She showed up with all her own equipment, so careful about hygiene, and just... present. She sat with me and my husband and let us ask every question we had, no matter how small or repetitive. I tend to over-prepare for things, so I came at her with a long list, and she went through every single item with us like she had all the time in the world. But honestly, the thing that saved me emotionally in those first few days was her weighted feeds. If you've never done this, those early days can make you spiral — is she getting enough, is this even working — and Claudia would weigh the baby right before and right after a feeding so we could actually see the milk transfer in numbers. She'd map it on a growth curve so we knew we were headed the right direction. I can't overstate how much that took the panic out of those days. Then when I had to go back to work earlier than I wanted to, she helped me again — picked out the right bottles with me, told me exactly when I needed to bring in a portable pump, and helped me map out a pumping schedule around my work hours so nothing fell apart. My baby is four months old now, and we're still exclusively breastfeeding. I really don't think that would be true without Claudia. If you're a new mom who feels like you have no idea what you're doing, she is the person you want in your corner.
