Jennifer Scott Lactation Consultant in Arcola, TX
About Jennifer
Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’m a registered nurse who loves supporting new moms and babies during those very first weeks together. I specialize in working with postpartum families from birth through the first 6 weeks, which means I’m often one of the first people helping you get comfortable and confident as you begin your breastfeeding journey. Those early days can come with a lot of questions, emotions, and unexpected challenges, and my goal is to make feeding feel less overwhelming and much more manageable. Whether you are learning how to latch, wondering if your baby is getting enough, working on milk supply, pumping, or simply trying to understand what is normal, I’m here to support you with warmth, patience, and practical guidance. I believe every family deserves lactation support that feels encouraging, judgment-free, and personalized to their goals. There is no one “right” way to feed your baby, and together we can create a plan that works for you, your baby, and your real life. I’m happy to meet families where they are most comfortable, including in the hospital when appropriate, in your home, or for an office visit. Think of me as your early breastfeeding guide, someone who can help you get started, troubleshoot the bumps along the way, and help you feel more confident caring for and feeding your new baby.

I offer personalized lactation and new-parent support designed especially for the earliest days and weeks after birth. My services include breastfeeding and newborn education, immediate postpartum support, latch and positioning assistance, pumping guidance, milk supply concerns, and help understanding normal newborn feeding and behavior. I also work with first-time parents who may simply need reassurance, hands-on teaching, and someone to help make those first days at home feel a little less overwhelming. I especially enjoy supporting families who need a little extra help getting breastfeeding started, including babies with difficult or painful latches, sleepy feeders, and babies transitioning home after a NICU stay. I can help assess what may be making feeding difficult, work with you on comfortable positions and latch techniques, and create a practical plan that supports both your feeding goals and your baby’s needs. Whether I meet you shortly after delivery, in your home, or during an office visit, my goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and confident as you settle into life with your new baby.
