Brooke S.
My newborn latched on & began feeding immediately after birth. I know that would not have been possible if I had not worked with a lactation consultant...
Dana was great! I feel so much better and more confident as a first time mom after leaving my appointment
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
I can’t say enough good things about Tessa and how much she has helped this first time mom. She has calmed my anxieties and taught me SO MUCH about breastfeeding, positions, baby’s tongue movement, and body work. Her referral to our pediatric dentist and instructions after our tongue tie release has greatly healed my baby. Moreso, she’s so prompt with messages and will fit me in her schedule when I’m in a pinch. Our appointments are never rushed, and time just flies by in the most wonderful way. I truly never thought how much I’d need a lactation counselor as someone who’s been working with pregnant moms and moms with babies for years, but my baby isn’t even three months yet and we’ve visited her twice a month. She keeps the atmosphere super zen and uplifting. I’d go in ready to cry, end up laughing, and leave excited to implement the recommendations she’s made. Her depth of knowledge, expertise, and passion is evident. My infant always seems happier, physically relaxed, and her latch progresses so much after our visits with Tessa. I’m so grateful to her impact on our breastfeeding journey. God bless Tessa!
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah!

We cannot thank you enough for your glowing recommendation! There’s no doubt that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊 There are certainly others who are facing similar issues with latching, tongue tie and painful breastfeeding.

We are so happy that Tessa was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools you needed to continue your breastfeeding journey.

If there is anything else we can do to help you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are always here for you!
Warmly,
Bayou City Breastfeeding
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!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words!
Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn’t the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos and decided to reach out with my third baby and am so happy I did. Suzanne provided us so much helpful information and even after our appointment she was available to us to answer some questions and I greatly appreciate that. We have our second appointment with her this week. So happy I found Bayou City Breastfeeding!

Absolutely loved our experience!
Ali was so informative and helped us so much! We are so grateful!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Going to this appointment was very eye-opening! It is my first baby and she is eating and gaining weight fine, but I had noticed some signs over the past two weeks that were a little concerning to me and I wanted to learn more. The nurse was super informative, educated me on a ton of things I had never thought about in relation to breastfeeding position, latch, oral exercises, etc. I am definitely glad I went and will be following up soon. These appointments are for anyone and you can learn so much even if you think everything is going well so far!
Response from the owner:Hi Julianne!

Thank you for your review!!! We are sure that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊

We are so happy to hear that your IBCLC at Bayou City Breastfeeding was able to provide you with the encouragement and tools necessary to continue on your breastfeeding journey. Just know that you are doing the hard part: ensuring the continued health of your baby. 😊

Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. See you soon!!! 😊

Thank you!

Brittaney listens and takes her time in offering realistic strategies for my breastfeeding journey! She has put together a pumping plan to help transition me back to work so I can keep breastfeeding! My little one is 8 months and my goal is to keep breastfeeding for as long as I can!
Response from the owner:Hi Tiffany!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. Brittaney truly loves supporting families with thoughtful and realistic plans and it means so much to hear that her guidance has helped you feel confident as you transition back to work. We are honored to be part of your breastfeeding journey and to support you and your little one as you work toward your goals.

Thank you for placing your trust in Brittaney and Bayou City Breastfeeding!

With love and latches,

I cannot say enough great things about Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation!!
If you’re on the fence if you can breastfeed, I would absolutely make an appointment here first. It may seem overwhelming but having someone guide you and give you advice along the way will be so helpful.

Katelyn helped me through SO much! I learned how to nurse my baby and pump better and more efficiently. I gained so much confidence in my abilities to feed by baby thanks to her guidance. Especially during the early postpartum days.

My daughter also has reflux and Katelyn helped me work on things to improve this and help keep my baby comfortable as well.

I’m now off of maternity leave and had to begin traveling for work..Katelyn helped me with so many things to prepare for being away from my baby so I could have a supply at home. She also helped me work out options to pump on the go conveniently and with ease. It was a breeze when I traveled for work thanks to her help!

I owe so much of my successful breastfeeding journey to Katelyn. I am so grateful that my baby is 6mths old and we are still breastfeeding, even as a working mom!

THANK YOU KATELYN!! I couldn’t have gotten through this without you.
Response from the owner:
Hi Kimberly,

Your words are too kind!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us and for your encouragement to other working mothers. We are thrilled to hear how much Katelyn and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you and your family.

Being a working mom with a baby that is still breastfeeding can be challenging. Adding travel to your return-to-work routine while also breastfeeding, just proves your commitment to your baby’s health. We are so happy that Katelyn was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the tools and guidance necessary to stay on your breastfeeding journey.

You should be very proud of breastfeeding past the 6-month point!!! That’s quite a feat for a working mom!!! 😊

Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide.
They are very experience with a lot of knowledge. Glad I had the visits with them.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Marija, for your kind words and wonderful review! We're so glad you found your visits helpful and that our experience and knowledge made a difference for you and your little one. Supporting families like yours is truly at the heart of what we do at Bayou City Breastfeeding. Wishing you continued success on your breastfeeding journey!
