Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in DeSoto, TX

Hi, I’m Denisse Mejia, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), mom of two girls, and founder of Texas Breastfeeding Center. My connection to lactation began long before it became my career—I grew up watching and learning from my mother, who was also a lactation consultant, and later experienced motherhood and breastfeeding for myself. Those experiences shaped the way I care for families today: with compassion, curiosity, and an understanding that feeding a baby is about so much more than simply getting a “good latch.” My philosophy is that families deserve evidence-based information without judgment or pressure. There is no one-size-fits-all version of breastfeeding, postpartum, or parenthood, so I meet parents where they are and help them make informed decisions that feel sustainable for their family. I’m especially passionate about creating a space where parents feel heard, respected, and confident asking questions—whether we’re working through breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, oral function concerns, or simply figuring out what life with a new baby looks like. As a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking IBCLC, I’m also deeply committed to making quality lactation care feel accessible and culturally responsive for the families I serve.

Hi, I’m Taniya, a Certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and over nine years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, especially during their very first and most tender weeks of life.

Whether you're looking for overnight care to get some rest, guidance with infant routines, or gentle sleep conditioning, I'm here to help you feel confident and supported every step of the way. My approach is warm, evidence-based, and tailored to your baby’s unique needs — and to your family’s values. I’m fully certified in infant CPR and First Aid, and I bring a calm, grounded presence into every home I serve. Let me be your guiding star through those early weeks, helping you and your baby rest, bond, and thrive.

I have a strong passion for helping families achieve the birth they desire to have and I believe that education is pivotal. My ultimate goal is to help you feel empowered, to help you have a voice in the decision making process, and for you to feel peace with your birthing experience. I provide unbiased, non-judgemental support during pregnancy, birth, and the immediate post-partum period to families from all walks of life for this reason. I would be honored to serve you and your family during this time.

Hi, I’m Jazmine—a bilingual Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), and perhaps most importantly, a two-time triple-feeding mom of two.

Hello and welcome! My name is Kelsey Weger, and I’m a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist. My passion for supporting families in their feeding journey began with the birth of my first son. While I quickly discovered the incredible benefits of breastfeeding—for both baby and mother—I also experienced firsthand the challenges that can come with it. My journey led me to exclusively pump, and through that experience, I developed a deep understanding of the many paths feeding can take. I’m here to support you in feeding your baby in the way that works best for you—whether that’s breastfeeding, pumping, combo feeding, or any approach in between. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m honored to walk alongside you during this special and transformative time.
