Sunayana Weber, BS, IBCLC, RLC

She/Her/Hers

[name pronunciation]

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) serving families in Austin, TX.

Known professionally and socially as Naya for years, I am now going by my full name to honor my South Asian heritage. Sunayana is pronounced “soo-NINE-ahh” (hear the pronunciation)

As an IBCLC, I specialize in providing evidence-based, inclusive, judgment-free lactation and infant feeding support to families in Austin & beyond. I work collaboratively with additional medical professionals (pediatricians, obstetricians/midwives, pediatric dentists, etc.) to ensure that parent and baby both thrive.

My own rough start with breastfeeding my older son led me to learn as much about lactation as I could. I helped my friends, and they started giving my number out to their friends - I knew I had to explore my newfound passion. It's More Than Milk began as a side hustle and quickly turned into a calling. Eventually it made the shift to my career. I've been supporting families with their lactation journeys since 2012 as a Certificated Lactation Educator & Counselor (CLEC) and became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2017.

It's More Than Milk took a backseat for several years as my family grew and moved to Austin. After passing the board exam, I gained a lot of experience working for a busy lactation practice. In August 2022, I made the leap to a small business owner, revived It's More Than Milk as my private practice, and haven't looked back.

I work to help all families meet their lactation goals through individual consultations, and private and small group classes. I strive to provide culturally humble care to every family I support. I've taken on additional trainings focusing on trauma informed care, perinatal mood disorders, anti racist practices, and gender affirming care in the perinatal space. Because of my personal experiences and the population I serve, I'm working towards obtaining a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.

When I'm not learning or working, I love to snuggle my dog, spend time in the backyard pool, sing karaoke badly, and eat my way through this incredible city. I live with my husband, our two sons, and our rescue pup in southwest Austin.

In 2019, I was honored to be nominated for and win the Best Lactation Consultant award at the Austin Birth Awards. In 2020, I was an Honoree at the Austin Birth Awards. In 2021, I was a Finalist at the Austin Birth Awards.

My goal is to empower families experiencing lactation challenges with knowledge and compassion.
