I had my visits scheduled with Britni, she was great. She is very knowledgeable and has tact in her interaction with both mom and baby.
She helped me on my first week with my newborn, and then had a follow up visit. The communication through the app and all the information gathered in the visit are shared with you with lots of detail.
Totally recommend this place for anyone needing some help with breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to support you in your breastfeeding journey!

Melissa was a godsend. My baby was born a full month early last September. I started seeing Melissa at the end of October after not having any success getting my baby to latch. She worked with not only helping my baby with latching but also with effectively pumping. When I was thinking about giving up on nursing, she let me know she supported me either way. I ultimately kept trying and with her help, I have been successfully nursing since the end of January. I will definitely be going back when I have my next baby.
Response from the owner:Hi Samantha, Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that Melissa was able to provide the support and guidance you needed during such a crucial time. Your journey, from the challenges of a premature birth to successfully nursing by the end of January, is truly inspiring. Melissa's dedication to helping you with both latching and pumping, and her unwavering support, clearly made a significant difference. We're so glad to know that you felt supported in your decision-making process and that Melissa's expertise helped you continue nursing. Your kind words will surely encourage other new mothers who might be facing similar challenges. We look forward to welcoming you back when you have your next baby. Thank you for choosing Alamo City Breastfeeding!

The experience has been amazing. Suzanne, Karen and Tessa are very caring and all the advices have been helpful for the tongue tie issue of my son.
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 a must! I booked a session right after having my baby when I discovered we were having issues with latching/feeding. I knew my baby wasn’t getting enough to eat early on and freaked out. I worked with Jennifer and she is great, I highly recommend her! She listens to your feeding goals and provided me with so many helpful tips! Tip for new moms, book one consultation before you deliver your baby so you can have a good feeding plan ahead of time then do follow-up appointments after baby is here.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!

I've never been to a lactation consult before so I didn't know what to expect. I had a great experience with Melissa! She was really friendly and informative. Very easy to get along with. Breastfeeding and pumping when at work has been difficult but after meeting with Melissa, I feel better about my journey. Looking forward to our follow up appointment.

Suzanne is the best! The first thing she checked was to see if my son had any restrictions in his mouth that the hospital missed. She found a tongue and lip tie! She showed me how to appropriately position to breast feed and helped gather resources for my son and I. I will be recommending them to everyone!
Response from the owner:Hi Laiya! Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation!!! We are so glad that Suzanne was able to guide you through the challenges of breastfeeding a baby with oral ties. It is truly an honor and a privilege to be able to assist you in this journey. Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are so happy to have you in the Bayou City Breastfeeding family!!! 😊 Thank you!

I met with Jessica for my first lactation consult. She was thorough, patient and gave us great information! Her follow up has been timely and compassionate. Her passion for helping moms achieve a successful breast feeding journey comes across in the care and attention she gives. I’ve been singing her praises to everyone I have talked with. I highly recommend her and Bayou City Breastfeeding - Magnolia!

Suzanne has helped me so much during my breastfeeding journey. I had to exclusively pump the first few weeks after birth because my baby wouldn’t latch. Now we are 1 month pp exclusively breastfeeding, and I am so grateful!
