I've been working with Karen for 5 months now. She has been truly exceptional. She has idea galore, tips and tricks I've never heard (this is my 3rd kiddo) and sage, wise advice. I'm not sure if we would still be breastfeeding without her. She is a gem. I would absolutely recommend Karen and Bayou City Breastfeeding. Without a doubt!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. We think Karen is amazing too, and are so happy to have her on our team.
Highly recommended, everyone is so nice. Suzanne made feel so comfortable and made me trust in myself, it is a life changing for me and my baby.

Can’t recommend enough!
Response from the owner:Carol,

It means so much to us that your experience has been life‑changing for you and your little one. We’re truly honored to be part of your feeding journey, and we’re here for you anytime you need support.

With love and latches,

Melissa is a godsend!! 💗 She is so knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful. I felt so much more confident with our newborn after meeting with her. Can’t wait for our next follow up.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bayou City Breastfeeding! We’ve been seeing Tessa and she is the absolute best! We had some latch problems with our baby from the beginning and after our first visit, Tessa gave us exercises to help and it suddenly clicked for us! Our visits are so detailed and personal, much more time than the pediatrician will spend with us! Not only did Tessa help with latch and lactation, she’s also helped us with general questions about newborn care. As first time parents, we’ve been so overwhelmed with all the information on the internet and Tessa is so patient and reassuring with all of our questions. She also has so many tips and tricks to help us care for our little girl! We are so incredibly thankful to work with her!
Response from the owner:🌟 Thank you so much, Haelee, for your kind and thoughtful words! We're beyond grateful to hear how impactful your experience with Tessa has been. She truly has a gift for blending clinical expertise with compassionate care, and we're thrilled that her guidance helped things "click" for you and your little one.

Being a first-time parent comes with so many questions and emotions, and it's wonderful to know that Tessa was able to offer the reassurance, time, and personalized support you needed. From latch challenges to newborn care tips, she’s passionate about walking alongside families every step of the way—and your feedback means the world to her and to all of us at Bayou City Breastfeeding.

Thank you again for trusting us during such a special season. We’re honored to be part of your journey! 💗

I feel like they all care about my BF journey but I will say that I had a negative experience. Video was not sent to ENT post release and LC said “it looks beautiful” but it has already reattached.

Bayou City Breastfeeding is a lifesaver! I am a second time mom, and was struggling with breastfeeding and didn't realize my baby had a lip/tongue tie....
Jessica has been a huge blessing in my life since having my first baby and now to have the peace of mind and confidence derived from her support is just truly such a gift! I’m so thankful and looking forward to another successful breastfeeding experience with baby number 2 thanks to her! I couldn’t feel more prepared going into my delivery.
Response from the owner:Hi Regan,
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! We think Jessica is a blessing too and are so pleased that she was the perfect IBCLC for you.
Being a new parent can be overwhelming. We are so glad that Jessica was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. We are also looking forward to helping with baby #2!

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

Mary was an amazing IBCLC. She spent hours listening, working with us, and consulting different resources to get our 4.5 lb emergency C-section baby from...
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!!! 😊
