With my first child, my breastfeeding journey was terrible due to edema, low milk supply, and not so good advice from the hospital and lactation consultant. For my second child, I promised myself to be more prepared and that is how I found this practice. I was able to breastfeed my second baby and have some spare milk on the freezer. My only regret is not reaching out to Suzanne the first time around. I keep thinking how things would have been different if she had been my lactation consultant with my first child. The team here is amazing. Please reach out, even if you think it is already too late, they truly keep up and set personalized goals.
I saw Jennifer 3 weeks after my baby had her her tongue tie release. Jennifer provided me with so much education on stretches, homeopathic pain relief, overall tongue tie healing, flange sizing for pumping, everything breastfeeding, and supplements good for lactation and hormonal balancing. Her help has been invaluable. She met with us weekly and it is because of Jennifer that my baby had gained range of motion in her tongue even with some reattachment. I highly recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding for anyone looking for lactation support.

Suzanne Juel helped me nurse my babies for 10 months and 16 months. She is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and kind. She believes in helping moms be the best moms they can be. She built an incredible community of moms supporting moms in our community.
I had my daughter at 32 weeks. My daughter wasn’t able to breastfeed on her own so, I decided to call in a lactation. Suzanne was sooo helpful! She quickly identified the issue (lip/tongue tie). In the meantime I got support, advice and tips on how to helo her feed until she got her toes corrected. Once my daughter got her 2 month vaccines she was able to get it checked out by her dentist and got it fixed. I continued going to Suzanne until we graduated! 6 months later, and my daughter is now a pro! *One more thing, I got so much help for when I went back to work as far as how long, and how often I should pump. Suzanne also went out her way to fight for my pumping rights during work hours.
Absolutely wonderful experience - worth every second. Karen has been the guiding light we needed with our first baby who wasn't initially gaining weight due to several factors like mouth restrictions and being overly sleepy. She helped with everything from mouth exercises for baby to recommendations for clogged duct and mastitis prevention and relief. We have enjoyed every session with Karen. She's very knowledgeable, personable and comforting, and helps put our worries at ease.
