About me!
Hello! I’m Oneida Escobar, a Certified Lactation Counselor and proud momma to two beautiful girls, 20 months apart—a spirited 3-year-old and a sweet 2-year old.
My own lactation journey has been a mix of challenges and joys. While I breastfed both my daughters, our experiences were unique and meaningful in their own ways.
After an unplanned Cesarean with my first, I navigated the world of exclusive pumping for a year, wrapping up that chapter in May 2023.
With my second daughter, I’ve embraced chest feeding from the start. I exclusively breastfed for 16-months.
The experiences couldn’t have been more different. The key difference? Beginning lactation support prenatally and having ongoing, professional care that continued months into postpartum.

The realities of breastfeeding in 2026...
As a working mom, I truly understand the pressures we face as we balance our roles and advocate for our lactation needs in today’s fast-paced world.
I believe that every breastfeeding journey is unique, and with the right support, any momma can achieve her feeding goals.
If you’re looking for someone dedicated to taking all possible steps to ensure your journey is as successful as it can be, I’m here for you! Proudly serving Fresno breastfeeding and Clovis breastfeeding families!
Together, we can navigate the beautiful and sometimes challenging path of nourishing your little one, all while building confidence in your choices.
Training and Education
Training and Education
My path to supporting families in their lactation journeys is rooted in an intertwined diverse and meaningful educational background.
I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies from Stanislaus State University, followed by teaching credentials from Fresno State. After years of teaching, I pursued a Master’s Degree in Counseling, inspired by a deep passion for helping individuals navigate important and transformative moments in their lives.
What is more transformative than motherhood? Am I right!?
Becoming a mom myself brought its own challenges, particularly with breastfeeding. These experiences ignited a desire to combine my teaching and counseling skills with a new focus—lactation support.
I dedicated myself to achieving national certification as a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) through the Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice (ALPP).
This strong foundation of teaching, counseling, and lactation expertise allows me to meet families where they are, offering not just education but personalized care and actionable strategies.
Ultimately, my goal is to empower parents, helping them feel supported, confident, and capable as they work toward their individualized goals.
