Breastfeeding Support and Parent Coaching for Austin Families
I’m Heather Eure, owner of The Lactation Expert! I’m passionate about surrounding families with the breastfeeding and emotional support they need during the big and beautiful transition to parenthood.
I’m an Austin, Texas, lactation consultant (IBCLC), parent coach, breastfeeding educator, international professional speaker, …and also mother of three. I’ve been where you are and know how hard parenting is!
Those early days at home, feeding your baby while sleep-deprived and trying to preserve your mental health, are incredibly intense. And then there’s the pressure from all around us and within us to “get it right.” I support families with compassion and evidence-based lactation information, while guiding them to discover and trust their inner parenting instincts.

Parent Coaching
Compassionate Coaching for Overwhelmed Parents
Navigate hormonal shifts, anxiety and burnout, identity transformation, and parenting stress with compassionate, mental health-informed coaching — for pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
I provide inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and gender-affirming lactation support in Austin and across Central Texas, meeting families exactly where they are with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I support parents navigating many feeding journeys, including breastfeeding, chestfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, induced lactation, and feeding after breast or chest surgery. My work often includes families of NICU babies, preemies, medically complex infants, and multiples, providing steady guidance during overwhelming moments.
I specialize in caring for neurodivergent parents, including Autistic and ADHD caregivers, as well as families navigating perinatal mood and anxiety challenges. I proudly serve LGBTQIA+ families and diverse family structures, offering affirming lactation care without judgment or assumption.
My goal is to provide clear, personalized lactation support that strengthens confidence, protects mental health, and helps families across Austin and Central Texas feed their babies in ways that feel sustainable — physically and emotionally.
