Breastfeeding Blog

I saw prescila for few times and she was fantastic!! Very knowledgeable and personable.

We had a great experience here! Our lactation consultant really took her time with us and gave us multiple ideas to try to remedy one issue we were experiencing. We did not feel rushed and felt understood/heard. Thank you!

I came here to try to induce lactation after we adopted our son. Mandy helped me get a supply going, and also answered my myriad questions about caring for our first baby. We also did bodywork here to address his tension and help with painful latching. Highly recommend coming here for any breastfeeding needs!

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.

After the birth of my first child in 2018 I naively thought that my child and I would know how to breastfeed and it would come naturally. Well the first month of his life he struggled to gain weight. So I looked for a lactation consultant covered by Aetna and found Bayou City Breastfeeding. I was consulted by Tessa Gardin. Looking back I wish I would have found Tessa sooner because she provided so much useful information. She is the reason I took my son to a chiropractor for cranio sacral adjustments and he was able to latch better. She is also the reason my milk output doubled and I was able to breastfeed until 11 months. After my second child was born on July 2020 I knew that I needed appointments with an LC right away. My daughter struggled with latch on my left breast, was biting my nipples and preferred to turn her head to her left side. So I saw Suzanne Juel 3 days after the birth. Suzanne is equally as helpful as Tessa and provided a lot of educational resources and diagrams that illustrated breastfeeding, milk production, and foods that increase milk supply. Suzanne showed me some alternate feeding positions that I use now since they are more comfortable. Suzanne recommended that my daughter get chiropractic adjustments. I took my daughter to a chiropractor and the adjustments improved her alignment significantly. Now my daughter does not have any latch issues, she is able to remove all the milk out on her own and she is no longer biting. She has exceeded the required weight gain for her age.

Learned lots of useful tips that I’ve been able to implement at home!

We love Suzanne..we have been thru 2 kids, 2 revision procedures and 2 totally different breastfeeding experiences.. one with just enough (sometimes not enough) and with an oversupply.. if i had to do it again i would choose her again and again to help with my breastfeeding journeys!!!

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!

Wow! If you are trying to find a place that will take the time to talk to you and help you with your breastfeeding needs, this is it. My consult was 1 hour 20 min, and our lactation specialist was helpful and had such great information and tips. She helped me latch my baby and gave me great feedback on how to do it, which is what I’m struggling with. She evaluated my baby as well and gave us exercises to do at home to help with the lip and tongue ties. She scheduled a follow up visit to see our progress in the next week. All in all, so grateful to have this resource. Highly recommend it!

And you can text them to communicate! Hello, this is so helpful for parents, instead of waiting on hold for 20 min to make an appointment.

Erica at the Katy location was super helpful! I almost exclusively pump, so I wanted to make sure I was doing all I could to have a good supply. She...
