Nicole M. Vazquez, MBA, IBCLC-Owner of Hub City Lactation

Hi! I’m Nicole, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), trained childbirth educator, wife, and mom of three wonderful daughters. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I speak both English and Spanish, and I’ve walked the path of pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding three times myself, including the challenges of infertility and nursing my own babies. Because I’ve been there, I understand how overwhelming and joyful this journey can be, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Since 2017, I’ve helped hundreds of families in the Upstate with feeding their little ones. I provide support in all aspects of infant feeding, including breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, and introducing solids. I’m trained in tethered oral tissues (TOTS), oral motor dysfunction and habilitation, and complex breastfeeding challenges, and I collaborate with trusted local experts to ensure your baby gets the best care. My goal is simple: to help you feel confident, supported, and truly heard as you navigate feeding your little one.
