Navigate the Newborn Season with Confidence

Helping families lessen the anxiety of breastfeeding with an expert plan tailored to your needs. Providing intentional, in-home concierge support for every stage of your journey.

I’m expecting and want to be prepared.

You are excited, but the "what-ifs" of breastfeeding are starting to feel heavy. You’ve heard the stories of the 3 AM Google spirals and the pain that "no one tells you about." You want to be the mom who has her team in place before the baby arrives.

I’m an Experienced Parent and ready for a new story.

You’ve been here before, and it didn't go the way you hoped. You carry the weight of a previous difficult journey, and you are determined to have a different experience this time around. You aren't a "new" parent, but you need a new approach.

I’m Postpartum and need help right now.

You are in the thick of it. Maybe it’s a sharp pinch every time baby latches, or maybe you’re staring at the pump wondering if you’ll ever make "enough." You love your baby, but the struggle is stealing the joy of these early weeks.

Imagine a different newborn season...

​

  • What if you entered motherhood feeling prepared and calm, with a clear plan instead of a list of worries?

  • What if the feeding pain was gone and the supply stress was quieted, allowing you to finally soak in your baby?

  • What if your previous breastfeeding struggles didn't define this journey, and you felt renewed confidence from the very first latch?

​

The reality is, you don’t have to "just get by."

You deserve a provider who sees your history and supports your goals.

What Parents Say

I met Bethany through a mutual friend who had also used her services. Bethany and I chatted on the phone a few weeks before I was due and we made plans for her to visit me in the postpartum unit when she was on shift at St. David's North Austin Medical Center. Her guidance in the hospital immediately following the birth of my daughter helped me feel confident in getting started on my breastfeeding journey. Once we got home, I realized we needed additional help so I scheduled her for a home visit — and let me tell you, that's the best decision I could have made. I was experiencing pain when breastfeeding and I could tell that my daughter was not receiving a full feeding. We were both constantly frustrated and I was fraying at the seams trying to figure it all out as a new mom. Bethany diagnosed my daughter with a tongue and lip tie which explained the trouble I was experiencing with her latch. I had my daughter's ties corrected per Bethany's recommendation and it made such a difference. Bethany came to my home again following the frenectomy and created an incredibly detailed, finely-tuned care plan for us.

 

In every interaction I had with Bethany, she showed us patience, compassion and understanding. I can truly say that I would have given up on breastfeeding had she not helped us. Today, my daughter gets full feedings from each nursing session and I feel confident and at ease with breastfeeding. Bethany brought so much peace to our whole family! She is worth every penny.
