Katie Newby - Lactation Consultant

About Katie

Hello, my name is Katie. I’m a Licensed Nurse, Postpartum Doula, and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist with over fifteen years of experience caring for infants and supporting new parents. After becoming a mother in 2013, I discovered a passion for supporting women through the early stages of motherhood. My own experience as a mother, combined with years of working closely with newborns and families, deepened my passion for breastfeeding and helping mothers feel confident in their feeding journey. I believe every mother and baby are unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to breastfeeding. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based lactation support that meets you where you are and supports your unique goals. Today, I provide personalized in-home lactation support to families in New Braunfels and surrounding communities, as well as virtual support for families near and far. Whether you're preparing to breastfeed, working through a challenge, or simply looking for reassurance, I'm here to help you feel supported and confident.

Lactation Consultant packages and pricing

In-home Lactation Support

I offer a comprehensive 1.5-hour in-home visit for mothers who have recently had a baby and need help with breastfeeding. During the visit, I will provide guidance on positioning, achieving a proper latch, treating sore nipples and breast engorgement, and finding a comfortable breastfeeding position. I will also bring a scale to weigh the baby before and after a feed to see how much milk they are transferring, answer questions about breast pumps, size you for a flange if needed, troubleshoot problems, and make referrals as needed. You will also receive a personalized feeding plan and a 30-minute follow-up call if needed. **Insurance Reimbursement: You may be eligible if your insurance covers lactation visits — check with your provider for details**

Katie helped me so much after I had my daughter. I was able to have one nice of peaceful sleep and to not feel super guilty because I knew she was safe with Katie. Katie is amazing

I called Katie when I was on the verge of giving up breastfeeding altogether. She was able to come see me that same day and helped me so much with only an hour and a half. She listened to our struggles and immediately had solutions to our problems. I desperately needed someone to give me tangible advice and instruction, and she did exactly that. She definitely got us back on track and helped me continue with my breastfeeding goals. I cannot recommend her enough! If I needed a doula I would absolutely hire her for that as well because she has a great presence.
