The process of getting help was fantastic! I really liked how I got a virtual consultation before my in-person one to give me more immediate help. Katelyn was a fantastic lactation consultant! She helped me find the right pump and gave me some confidence to continue my breastfeeding journey. I will definitely be coming to this team again and recommending them to anyone that I can.
Response from the owner:Hey Robin,
Wow, your words mean the world to us! We're thrilled that the virtual consultation provided immediate support before your in-person visit. Katelyn will be overjoyed to hear how her expertise and guidance boosted your breastfeeding journey. Knowing you have confidence and the right tools makes our efforts truly worthwhile.
We're here for you anytime, and we can’t wait to assist you again. Thank you for spreading the word!
We are so glad to have you in the BCB family!

All the best,

Team Bayou City Breastfeeding
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!
I cannot recommend this practice enough. I knew about lactation consultants before I had my baby, but didn't book them until after I was struggling in the first few days. My IBCLC took time out of her weekend to meet me on a Saturday and it changed everything. I was a much happier new mom thanks to the coaching, support, and cheerleading I received from Brandi. Thank you Bayou City Breastfeeding!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding story!
Working with Suzanne has been a great experience. She is very knowledgeable, gives great solutions to problems and always answers questions even outside of appointments. I had a difficult start to my nursing journey but she helped me improve and solidify my nursing relationship with my little one and I’m very thankful for all of her help!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Bayou City Breastfeeding is the best! After struggling with my first, I knew I wanted support from the beginning this time around. Suzanne has supported us throughout the pregnancy, those initial days and now through the process of a tongue tie release. I am so grateful for Suzanne and Bayou City Breastfeeding - I really believe our breastfeeding success has been in large part to the help we’ve received from them!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Brandy is fantastic! She really listened to my concerns and helped me to setup for success for breastfeeding and pumping when I go back to work. She even helped fit me for the correct sized phalange for the pump and tested it in office to be sure. I definitely recommend for anyone wanting to breastfeed
Response from the owner:Hi Rachel,

Truly at a loss for words to wholly describe what Alamo City Breastfeeding means for our family. I have used both Boerne and San Antonio location and my review is the same for both. Our kiddo had a harder start with breastfeeding. I was an overwhelmed first time mom who only knew that I wanted my baby to be fed the best and if possible fed breastmilk. I fought through exclusively pumping, releases, bodywork, appointments, personal discouragement, family members and friends encouraging me to give up to get to where we are today. The entire time I was cheered, empowered, never pressured, informed, and encouraged by Alamo City Breastfeeding. Our feeding journey would not be where it is today without them still nursing at 9 months. It feels like they do it all (breastfeeding, bottle feeding, connecting you to the right practitioners, advice, listening ear, troubleshooting, starting solids, sleep). And do it all well and kindly. To be surrounded by people who fight for you, your children’s, and your family’s well being (whatever your unique situation is) is priceless. I recommend them to any pregnant person I meet, any friend who has a big or small breastfeeding question. I immediately give them Alamo City Breastfeeding’s information. Seriously, reach out! They’ll be a tool on your parenthood toolbelt you never knew you needed.
Response from the owner:Hi Rachel!
Thank you for your glowing review!!!! 😊 We are sure that there are other new overwhelmed moms who are facing similar issues at the beginning of their breastfeeding journey and need to hear that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 😊

It is wonderful to hear that you and your babies benefited from both our Bodywork (chiropractic) and Lactation services!!!!
We are so happy that Alamo City Breastfeeding was able to provide you the encouragement, support and help needed to continue your breastfeeding journey. Just remember you did ALL the hard work to ensure that your baby thrived!!! You are the superhero and should be proud of yourself!!!! 😊

Please let us know if there is any additional help that Alamo City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊

Thank you!

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.

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.
Tessa is an AMAZING consultant. I literally ask her about everything! I rely on her more than I rely on my son's doctor. When I ask the pediatrician a question, I usually get "He's fine", but with Tessa I get explanations and details that help me better understand certain things. Dr. Emily is heaven sent as she helped to loosen my baby. The exercises have been working very well with him and he so flexible now and sleeps so much better. Her patience with babies is wonderful!!
Response from the owner:Hello Lee!

Thank you so much for your glowing review! It is so wonderful to hear that Tessa and Bayou City Breastfeeding far exceeded your expectations.
It is our mission to pass on our knowledge on to our clients, so they have all the tools they need to take care of their babies. Remember, all of your questions are important and deserve detailed answers. No one knows your baby better than you do!
We feel honored that your family has placed its trust in Bayou City Breastfeeding! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your support team.
Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊
Warmly,
Bayou City Breastfeeding
