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!

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.

My twins and I got much needed TLC and guidance from our sweet lactation nurse here!

Don’t know what I did without them for my first child but so thankful to have found them for my second. Melissa is amazing. Patient, understanding, caring…great with the babies and with mama. Truly a partner with you through various stages of your journey. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Donique, the lactation consultant at Bayou City Breastfeeding, has been an absolute lifeline for me as a first-time mother navigating the complexities of breastfeeding. Her expertise and compassionate approach were instrumental in addressing multiple challenges my baby and I faced, including tongue tie, lip tie, reflux issues, milk supply concerns, and learning effective pumping techniques. Donique's deep understanding of lactation issues was evident from our very first session, where she patiently explained the impact of tongue and lip ties on breastfeeding and devised a comprehensive plan for treatment.

What impressed me most about Donique was her personalized care and unwavering support throughout our sessions. She took the time to listen to my concerns, offering practical advice and reassurance tailored to my specific needs. Donique's encouragement and positivity boosted my confidence and made a significant difference in my breastfeeding journey. With her guidance, I witnessed substantial improvements in my baby's feeding habits and my ability to successfully nurse and pump.

Donique's follow-up sessions were thorough and informative, demonstrating her commitment to her clients' well-being beyond the initial consultation. Her availability to address questions or concerns outside of appointments further highlighted her dedication to supporting new mothers like me. I highly recommend Donique to any mother seeking expert lactation support. Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care make her an invaluable resource for navigating the challenges of breastfeeding with confidence and success.

Katelyn Kleiber has been amazing to work with. She’s patient, listens to all my concerns, is great with communication and always available for assistance. I cannot say enough good things and I am truly so thankful I found her as a first time mom. I look forward to continuing to work with her as my newborn continues to grow!

Because of Mandy and her team at the magnolia location helping us in the beginning we have made it to ONE YEAR of breastfeeding!!!!! We started out with a tongue tie in the beginning. We got that fixed and had a rough recovery but Mandy and Karen helped my baby and I through it. Once he fully recovered he did so well latching and feeding! I couldn’t have gotten through those rough few weeks without their support. I am so happy to say we made it and am feeling so accomplished and proud to have provided for my child! Thank you thank you Mandy! Could not have done it without you!!!!

We’ve been seeing Suzanne weekly for the past three weeks, and she has been a tremendous help to both me and my husband. She supported me with breastfeeding and pumping, and also shared so much valuable guidance around general baby care. Her knowledge, professionalism, and kindness truly stand out. I am so grateful we found her — she made such a difference during this important time for our family. Thank you so much, Suzanne!

Claire is amazing. I am so happy we have decided to go with this clinic. Everyone is friendly & we have met our lactation goals. We saw major improvements within 24 hours. Just wonderful!

I was extremely happy with the experience I had with Ali with Bayou City Breastfeeding! She came to my home in Montgomery, TX to evaluate my 2 week old baby and me. I was having difficulties with breastfeeding, and Ali was able to identify my baby’s issue almost immediately. She helped us come up with a plan to help with the issue, helped me navigate my breast pump, and gave us tips to make our feeding experience as good as possible. Ali was so sweet and made us feel very comfortable- not to mention, very knowledgeable! The communication from start to finish with all the staff was also great! Highly recommend!
