Lactation Consultants and Infant Feeding Specialists in Houston and San Antonio

I contacted Bayou City Breastfeeding out of desperation after suffering weeks of painful breastfeeding with my second child. With my first baby (breastfed for 14 months) I had no issues breastfeeding so I thought it would be the same the second time around. Nope! From the second day after my son was born I was having serious issues with nursing and I was not enjoying breastfeeding at all. The nurses in the hospital kept telling me I was a new mom and things would get better. Because of this I waited before getting help with a lactation consultant. During this time my son had reflux, gas, milk was spilling out the sides of his mouth with every feeding, and I was using a nipple shield at every feeding because of pain. Also, the nursing sessions took FOREVER (45+ minutes). A friend suggested I see Tessa, an IBCLC at Bayou City Breastfeeding, because of all the issues. Tessa came to my house and diagnosed my son with a tongue tie almost instantly. I remember tearing up after she left because I finally had answers. None of the other nurses or lactation consultants in the hospital even mentioned it could potentially be a tongue tie even after all the pain I was in. Tessa took her time with me and was very patient with all the questions I had (and I had a lot). Her exam of the baby was very thorough and she explained everything in a way I could understand. She gave me recommendations on who to see for my son’s tongue tie and gave me exercises to do with him to help with breastfeeding. Honestly if it wasn’t for Tessa there is no way I would have continued breastfeeding. I was literally on the verge of quitting. With her help I was able to continue breastfeeding for 15 months and my baby boy is thriving.

Ariel was outstanding! She was personable, informative, responsive via all communication channels and reassuring which meant a lot to me as a first time mom. Her personality was so refreshing! After many other appointment types throughout pregnancy at different facilities I can honestly say Ariel here at Bayou City BF is the best of the best. She’s not cold in delivering the info and she made I and my husband feel right at home. She was a breath of fresh air and I and my husband agreed that she felt like a God send and trust me he is NOT an easy sell. I felt a giant weight lift off my shoulders after leaving the appointment knowing that we will figure whatever may come out. 10 out of 10, HIGHLY recommend!

Mary was a great help with my breastfeeding journey. She is amazing with children and very knowledgeable. My journey was a bumpy one because I didn't have...

I had a not so great 1st time mom breastfeeding experience & had zero intentions of breastfeeding my second child. BUT this second experience has been completely different. I absolutely LOVE Tiphany! She has completely saved my breastfeeding journey this time around, she is very knowledgeable & kind. She truly listens & makes you feel very comfortable. I am forever grateful for her & would recommend anyone to her! ❤️

Bayou City Breastfeeding taught me so much and really kept my goal of breastfeeding realistic. We worked through triple feeding, supply issues, tethers/ties (pre and post release), and pumping. I truly could not have done it without Jen! She’s such a blessing and so easy to work with. I’m so happy that I was able to get in quickly when I was having latch issues right after leaving the hospital. I will recommend to any future moms and know I’ll be back for any future kid(s) we might have.
