Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in College Station, TX

Katelyn Kleiber, IBCLC, RLC, began working with breastfeeding families as a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and lactation intern before becoming an IBCLC in 2022. Her interest in lactation grew from a longstanding interest in women’s health and the need for better support during the postpartum period. Katelyn views feeding as a relationship between parent and baby rather than a single technical skill. She considers both sides of the feeding pair, works with families to identify the factors making feeding more difficult, and develops plans that are practical and sustainable at home. A particular focus of Katelyn’s practice is the connection between feeding and sleep as babies grow. She enjoys helping families better understand how feeding patterns, development, sleep, and a parent’s own rest can affect one another. Through sleep consultations, she works with families to find realistic approaches that support both baby’s needs and the well-being of the parent. Katelyn values long-term care and the opportunity to support families as their needs change throughout infancy and beyond. Her approach is thoughtful, individualized, and centered on helping families feel informed and confident as they navigate both feeding and sleep. Katelyn currently offers virtual consultations as well as home visits in the Bryan and College Station area. Outside of work, Katelyn enjoys traveling, reading, hiking, and spending time in nature.

Hey there, I'm Priscilla Jackson, your go-to Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) ready to guide and cheer you on every step of your breastfeeding journey. From Cypress to Kingwood and Spring/Klein to Conroe, I'm here to offer support, encouragement, and a whole lot of love. My journey into lactation consulting was sparked by my own experiences as a young mother. When I had my son at 19, I was clueless about breastfeeding.

Her passion and dedication inspired me to pay it forward and become a lactation consultant myself. For the past 4.5 years, I've been proudly serving as a CLC, and I recently sat for the IBCLC exam in April 2024. With a holistic approach to lactation support, I believe in empowering moms and reminding them that they're doing an incredible job, even when the journey gets tough. The most rewarding part of my job? Being your biggest cheerleader. Whether you're navigating shallow latches, nipple shields, or breastfeeding jaundice, I'm here to provide the tools, encouragement, and unwavering support you need to reach your breastfeeding goals. When you're feeling uncertain or overwhelmed, remember that it's okay to adjust your goals and take things one step at a time. And as for techniques, I'm a big advocate for baby-led latch – because there's nothing more incredible than witnessing the natural instincts of a newborn baby. So, if you're ready to embark on this beautiful journey of breastfeeding, I'm here to be your guide, your confidante, and your biggest supporter. Let's make magic happen, one latch at a time. Outside of work, you'll find me indulging in my love for baseball and hockey with my family, escaping into the pages of a fantasy book for some much-needed alone time, or hitting the road for some camping adventures with my closest friends.
