This is my third baby and I thought I was a nursing champ! This baby has had things my first two didn’t and I am so grateful I found help! Scotty was amazing. She was so pleasant and easy to talk to. It was very apparent that the well being of my baby was Scotty’s top priority. She was very gentle and kind when handling my little girl. Will definitely be using her services again and telling anyone I know who is having a child!

I have taken care of many people who’ve had great experiences with Gulf Coast Lactation, but having recently given birth to my first baby and experiencing feeding issues has been a whole different experience and I cannot express how helpful Scotty & Sarah have been to me. From preparing me for what to expect when my baby was born because of interventions we had to have at her birth to the postpartum visit troubleshooting latch, pumping, and other concerns - my level of anxiety around feeding has been lowered significantly. If you’re questioning whether or not you need their help, the answer is YES!

I didn’t grow up with a positive view of breastfeeding, but during pregnancy I decided to learn and prepare — and meeting with Scotty from Gulf Coast Lactation changed everything. She guided me through every challenge, from early latching struggles to discovering my baby’s colic and multiple food intolerances, offering compassion and solutions when I felt like giving up. Without her support, postpartum would have been far harder; Scotty’s care not only helped me succeed in breastfeeding but reminded me that every mom deserves judgment-free support for her goals.

I chose to schedule a prenatal lactation consult in efforts to educate myself and feel ready and empowered for my breastfeeding journey with my second baby. My consultation with Gulf Coast Lactation did just that. With my first baby, I ended up exclusively pumping simply due to lack of education and confidence. My experience with my second baby has been such a different and positive journey so far. During my consult, we discussed appropriate feedings by age, milk storage guidelines, healthy nutrition for breastfeeding and practiced several positions. Scotty provided resources that I was able to read over again closer to delivery for a refresher. Our first feeding was so easy and comfortable due to the tips I received from my consultation. Even our nursery nurses were impressed with the ease of her first feed! I delivered on a weekend so I did not see a lactation consultant while in the hospital so I am very glad I had this foundation.
I scheduled a visit with GCL a week after being home simply because I knew Scotty would have more tips and reassurance to provide. She performed a weighted feed and provided so many tangible tips. I have continued to attend the community breastfeeding support groups hosted by Gulf Coast Lactation, which has helped me connect with other breastfeeding moms. These resources have helped me successfully breastfed my daughter for 6 weeks now and have prepared me to return to work confidently while continuing to breastfeed!

I can’t recommend Gulf Coast Lactation highly enough! The entire team is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. It’s clear they are passionate about what they do and genuinely care about helping you and your baby succeed. I’m so excited to continue working with them throughout my breastfeeding journey and with any future little ones. If you’re on the fence about scheduling with them, don’t hesitate—it’s one of the best decisions you’ll make!
Sara Henson
Gulf Coast Lactation deserves an unlimited amount of stars… A 5 star review is simply not enough! Scotty and her expertise have been SO beneficial. I had no idea that a lactation consultant would come to your home… and what a difference that has made! When you’re having issues breastfeeding, being in your own home helps so much. And the speed of service has been invaluable for us. Scotty came with such amazing recommendations from multiple people. And after meeting her the first time, she exceeded those recommendations! Scotty absolutely loves what she does and it shows. I honestly don’t know where my baby and I would be without her. I have no doubt that anyone who works with Gulf Coast Lactation will feel the same! If you’re in need of a lactation consultant, do not hesitate to contact them!
Jennifer Tricksey
I have three kids total and each child has been different. This time, my third time, with Gulf Coast Lactation has been the one that has given me the confidence and reassurance that I am doing it right and that Aleah is happy. Gulf Coast Lactation means reassurance and gives me confidence as a mother.
Maritza Weeks
I was ready to give up one week in because of engorgement and mastitis. My doctor recommended Gulf Coast Lactation. Without hesitation I called and they immediately booked me an appointment that same afternoon. Scotty was/is a GOD SEND. She has made my breastfeeding journey so much better. I can’t wait to see where I’ll be in the next few weeks!
Beth Pearse
I wish I had known about Gulf Coast Lactation sooner in my motherhood journey! Baby #3 is the first successful breastfeeding and nursing experience I’ve had. Scotty was SO helpful with everything from supply, to nursing positions, to pumping, etc. She was always available and willing to answer any questions I had. We would not be nearly 9 months into the breastfeeding journey without the help, support, and encouragement from Gulf Coast Lactation.
Jordan Collins
We could not be happier having taken the time to schedule a prenatal appointment with Gulf Coast Lactation. We will be having a baby in the next month and a half we (myself and my husband) feel so much more prepared now. I feel like they have given us the “secret keys” to being able to be successful with breastfeeding. I have several sisters and many friends that have had babies and I felt like I should have known more. But, there were so many things that Scotty shared with us and showed us that I believe are going to make a world of difference when it comes to being successful with breastfeeding. I can’t wait to put these things in action!
