About me
Hey there, I'm Kristin Ramirez, IBCLC RLC, here to support and empower you on your breastfeeding journey. With a sprinkle of warmth, a dash of expertise, and a whole lot of passion, I'm dedicated to helping families in Tomball, Spring, and Cypress thrive. My path to becoming an IBCLC was paved by my own experiences breastfeeding my children. Five years as an IBCLC and three years prior as a CLC have given me a deep understanding of the joys and challenges that come with nurturing little ones. I believe in taking a holistic approach to lactation support, seeing the breastfeeding dyad as more than just the baby. By addressing the physical, emotional, and environmental factors at play, I'm able to provide comprehensive support tailored to your unique needs and preferences. I firmly believe that family members play a vital role in the breastfeeding journey. Where there's support from partners, grandparents, and other family members, successful breastfeeding flourishes. Comfort is key in my book! I'm all about getting cozy during feedings and practicing skin-to-skin contact to enhance communication between you and your little one. It's not just about optimizing latch and effectiveness – it's about strengthening the bond between parent and child. What fuels my fire? It's the incredible feeling of helping families reach their infant feeding goals and supporting them every step of the way. When I'm not in my professional role, you'll likely find me in the kitchen, whipping up delicious meals and experimenting with new recipes – cooking is my happy place! So, if you're ready to embark on a journey of breastfeeding success, I'm here to guide and cheer you on every step of the way. Let's make your breastfeeding goals a reality – together!

Breast Pump Only Office Visit (Self-Pay) - for up to 1 hour
Lactation consultants help with pumping too -- not just latching the baby to the breast!
Most breastfeeding parents today end up using a breast pump at one point or another. And while the breast pumps are very convenient, no one really shows you how to use your pump, or help you if you are having problems with pumping. And some breastfeeding parents might choose to exclusively pump, instead of latching their baby directly to the breast. Ask yourself these questions about pumping:
Which breast pump would be best for you?
Are you using your pump correctly?
Does pumping hurt?
Are you using the right flange size?
How do you get more milk when pumping?
What about exclusively pumping?
How do you wean from pumping?
We can help answer or solve all these problems.
