Time spent with Mary was time well spent. She helped ease my anxieties and gave good guidance to get my baby and I on the right track for breastfeeding success. Scheduling with her was always easy, the office staff was most helpful. I highly recommend!

So glad we decided to make an appointment here! Karen was so nice, helpful and explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand. We are so glad to have her helping us on our breastfeeding journey!

Kathelyn is amazing. She is explained pretty well and helped me to understand the lactation process in a smooth way.

Suzanne has played a key role in the success of my breastfeeding journey. We have seen her for about 6 months now. The 1st time we saw her my baby was lethargic and not eating, she was 3 days old. I had sent a message to Bayou City Breastfeeding and received a response within hours. After speaking with Suzanne on the phone she gave suggestions that immediately helped my baby until we could be seen by her. Suzanne came to our house on Easter Sunday to help get my baby eating. Within a day my baby had gained .5 oz at her 1st pediatrician appointment. Suzanne recommended at that point for us to have the babies tongue clipped for major oral restrictions. At the time my husband and I weren’t ready to put our newborn through that. She gave us oral exercises to do with our baby in the meantime.
Fast forward to 3 months my baby refused to latch once again. I scheduled an appointment to see Suzanne at the Kingwood clinic. We learned that my baby had figured out how to accommodate for her oral restrictions, but had had a recent growth spurt and the accommodations and exercises were no longer working. She explained in detail some of the things (I thought were normal) my daughter was experiencing were in fact not so normal and were actually causing pain and discomfort. At that point we revisited the frenotomy and scheduled it with Dr.Liu, a pediatric ENT Bayou City recommends. Suzanne explained the procedure and gave us the recovery booklet to begin to start working on exercises with our baby and prepare her for the procedure.
After the procedure we saw Suzanne multiple times for all of our baby’s post procedure appointments and she helped with the recovery. She got our breastfeeding journey back on track. My baby has gone from refusal to latch to nursing full time on the weekends with no issues.
The wealth of knowledge that Suzanne provides is so unbelievably helpful and priceless for a first time mom who is beginning to navigate motherhood. She has been constant support and cheerleader to keep going even though it’s tough! I can’t say enough how much help Bayou City Breastfeeding has been!

This place is incredible and Karen is a gift directly from God!!! My only regret is not starting this while still pregnant!! I think it would’ve made my whole transition into motherhood 100 better!!! Coming here was the best decision for both me and my son!!!
