Jennifer was amazing and super helpful! I feel so much more comfortable brush
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Suzanne was extremely helpful and squeezed me on on Fathers day, Sunday, in the morning, to accommodate a prenatal visit I needed as I may go into labor any time soon. She gave me a lot of reassurance and I feel so much more prepared going into labor knowing they have a LC on the other side waiting for me to help me one on one! Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!

If you're even thinking about booking with Ariel Brewer at Bayou City Breastfeeding, do it. Immediately.

I say this with absolute certainty: our breastfeeding journey would not have been successful without Ariel. The cards were stacked against us from day one — latching issues, lip tie, tongue tie, inverted nipples, and an extremely low milk supply. Honestly, it felt like everything that could go wrong did. There was no logical reason we should’ve made it to where we are today… but we did. And it’s entirely because Ariel guided us through each challenge — one at a time, with so much knowledge, compassion, and the kind of calm confidence that made me believe we could do this.

First, we tackled milk supply while navigating some tricky anatomy issues between me and my baby. Ariel gave me clear, step-by-step guidance that helped me build supply and get my baby back to birthweight. And wow — we crushed it. I went from being a significant under-supplier to a slight over-supplier. And seemingly overnight, my baby caught up and began thriving.

Then came the tongue and lip ties. Right after getting them revised, my baby latched without a shield, without leaking, and — miracle of miracles — without pain. Thriving didn’t even begin to describe it.

And just when I thought we were out of the woods, my supply suddenly dropped out of nowhere. But again, Ariel had my back. With her concise instructions (plus a few optional hacks), I was able to regain every ounce of lost supply within a couple of weeks.

Today, we’re nearly 8 months into our journey. My baby is happy, deeply connected to me, and rocking the 98th percentile. Big. Beautiful. Thriving.

Saying Ariel gave us a priceless gift feels like an understatement. Her support didn’t just help me breastfeed — it gave me confidence, reassurance, and resilience I didn’t know I had. Her belief in me, her encouraging nudges, and even her occasional bits of mom-wisdom were exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed them.

Ariel is an exceptional lactation consultant — and an even more extraordinary human. She goes far above and beyond the job description, and I’ll be forever grateful for her.
Response from the owner:Marie,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt and beautiful review. Your words were truly moving!
We’re beyond thrilled to hear how impactful Ariel’s support was throughout your breastfeeding journey. From the early challenges to the incredible milestones you and your baby achieved together, your story is a powerful testament to resilience, dedication, and the transformative power of compassionate care.

You did all the hard work to help your baby thrive!!!
Ariel is indeed a remarkable lactation consultant — her knowledge, empathy, and unwavering encouragement make her an invaluable part of so many families’ stories, and yours is no exception. We’re so proud to have been part of your journey and honored to have earned your trust during such a meaningful time.
Congratulations on eight amazing months — and on raising such a thriving, happy little one! We’re cheering you on every step of the way.
Gratefully,
The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team

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!
I was able to get a virtual appointment within 48hrs of my request to get advice on my recent bout with mastitis. My consultant, Suzanne, quickly identified the likely culprit and gave some advice moving forward that was so helpful!! I would highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Jenna,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you were able to get a virtual appointment quickly and receive the support you needed. Suzanne’s ability to identify the issue and provide helpful guidance is exactly what we strive for—making care accessible and effective, even from home.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and are honored to be part of your breastfeeding journey!
