The Nest & Company - Bakersfield, California

Coming to the nest saved my breastfeeding journey & I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Lindsey’s help. I’m so grateful to have been able to have her as support during the hardest part of my postpartum journey. She gave us all the resources & support needed to have the best feeding plan possible for my baby. I can’t recommend her enough 🤗

Mamas if you want to support any women owned businesses, this is one of them! The Nest & Co women show compassionate care and value all women who enter. From pregnancy, postpartum and for the littles. Jenica the owner has had a similar passion as I do, to care for patients/clients and see women flourish in their god-given abilities to be connected and loved and seen.

From storefront to classes to infant wear and care. Her lacation support has helped many of my clients and they are still praise about the gentle care and support they have received. So on this International Women’s Day, I celebrate this woman owned establishment!

I can't say enough good things about my experience here! I always looked forward to coming in. Lindsey was SO amazing!! She held my hand throughout the frustrating journey of getting my baby girl to latch. She made me feel cared for and understood. Before coming in I was almost convinced we would never successfully breastfeed. After 5.5 months of trying to get her to latch, just a few weeks at Nest and Co and baby girl is now a breastfeeding like a pro! I am so thankful and happy and I highly recommend Nest and Company if you need any help with breastfeeding. This is the place!! Such a great atmosphere and lovely people.

I can’t say enough good things about The Nest! If all you read from this review is the one sentence read this: Choose The Nest, the nest is best!
There are so many services they provide, lactation consultations, parenting classes, breastfeeding classes, a diaper service, and a super cute shop! The owner Jenica, and all the staff are so nice and very knowledgeable.
I am a first time mom and my husband and I were looking for some new parent classes to take and he came across the nest. We ended us going to a lactation class and got some really great information- some of which was on tongue ties. I’m so glad I went because I had a rough start to nursing, my baby had two ties in her mouth and I needed help!
We went to the nest and Jenica gave great advice and how to feed my baby with ties, how to have them removed if we chose, and a host of things to help my daughter and continue nursing successfully!!!
Erica at the Nest even looked up our insurance and figured out we had coverage for lactation classes!
It’s not just for moms, my husband was really excited to take the classes with me. It has helped make him such a great hands on dad because he is confident he is giving our daughter proper care.
Go to a place that will make you feel safe and supported. Go see experts. Go get great advice and feel empowered. Go to the Nest!!!

I absolutely love The Nest & Co. The staff is so kind and make you feel very welcomed. Not only do i love shopping for my sons their but the boutique is my go to place to buy gifts for baby showers. When i was having trouble breastfeeding my son i went in and saw Jenica. Jenica educated me on how to breastfeed my son and how to use my pump. She also had me fitted for a proper flange size to help my pumping be more efficient.

I’ve never been to the brick and mortar, but a friend of mine registered here digitally and I was able to shop and ship direct to a different state. My friend received a quick notification that her item had been gifted and she received the actual item fairly quick. What really made me want to write a review was the hand written thank you note I received from the store for shopping there! They even included a little treat and a discount code. Small businesses like The Nest and Company are the best for personal and thoughtful touches, give them a try!

I only have great things to say- definitely recommend this business.

My experience:

As a first-time mom, everything was new and unchartered territory. I met with Jenica and Lindsay on multiple occasions and they’re both wonderful.

At my baby’s 3-day checkup, I was told my baby had lost too much weight and would have to be hospitalized if we didn’t get her weight up. Naturally, I was panicking over the thought of our newborn not thriving.

I had a pre-scheduled appointment with the Nest and Co (somewhat serendipitously planned) after our baby’s pediatrician appointment. I can’t stress enough how great the staff was. I arrived at my appointment completely panicked and was met with kindness and patience. They helped me come up with a plan that would meet my newborn's nourishment needs and my breastfeeding goals. They explained things clearly and even helped with the nuances on how to pump properly.

I’ve met with them ~ 6 times (in person & virtually) and very much recommend this business. If I could change one thing about my experience, it would be to go to a consultation BEFORE my baby arrived so I would have been better prepared for those first few days. I’m now 10 weeks post-partum and our baby is chunky and thriving.

Absolutely amazing! 1st time parents for both husband & I and husband wanted to feel more involved w/feeding, but I didn't want to start 3 day old baby on bottle yet. Jenica took her time w/us & not only educated me on my spectra pump, but also introduced the 5/4 French finger feeding tube to husband. Will be returning closer to my leave ending to go over my portable pumps as she didn't want to overwhelm us w/everything in 1 appt which I appreciated!!
