Karen was super helpful in giving me tips on how to become better at breastfeeding and bottle feeding my newborn. Our appointment was very thorough, I didn’t feel rushed and I had more than enough opportunity to ask all the questions I needed in order to feel comfortable conquering breastfeeding as a first time mom! I would highly recommend!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!

Had a home visit during COVID...the LC that came was wearing a mask and was disinfecting everything which was a bonus! She corrected my baby’s latch in the first try and it was a game changer! I didn’t realize I wasn’t doing it right! She gave me some exercises to help with my baby’s minor tongue tie which I appreciated vs going straight to the operation route. We are 7 weeks now and things are great! Baby’s latch is strong and she is gaining weight. I was hating breast feeding before...now I’m loving it!

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review and we are so happy that things are going better for you now!

Love Mandy! Small world, she was my Labor & Delivery nurse for my firstborn. When I made an appointment to see a Lactation Consultant for my second child, I was surprised to see her! It was very special to have her be a part of our lives for both children. Anytime I had questions, she was quick to respond. Very knowledgeable and positive!

Response from the owner:Hi Jesika! It definitely is a small world! Mandy was meant to play a role in the lives of both of your babies. 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and kind words with us.

Miranda saved my breastfeeding journey. She is amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone! She helped me navigate my son’s tongue and lip ties and gave me a clear plan to follow. I have been successfully breastfeeding for 6 months now and could not have done it without her help.

After a stressful prior lactation meeting with another practice, Katelyn was the breath of fresh air my child & I needed. I came away from that visit with so much information & felt so confident in our breastfeeding & recovery journey. So so thankful for Katelyn & Bayou City Breastfeeding!
