Bayou City Breastfeeding taught me so much and really kept my goal of breastfeeding realistic. We worked through triple feeding, supply issues, tethers/ties (pre and post release), and pumping. I truly could not have done it without Jen! She’s such a blessing and so easy to work with. I’m so happy that I was able to get in quickly when I was having latch issues right after leaving the hospital. I will recommend to any future moms and know I’ll be back for any future kid(s) we might have.
The lactation consultants I worked with - Megan and a few trainees - were so helpful in giving me confidence and tools to make my breastfeeding journey successful and enjoyable. My son and I are doing so well today in part because of their support. I liked that there were options for virtual, in home and in office depending on our needs and how we were doing on any given day. The online messaging with quick responses was also super helpful. I felt like they truly cared for us and especially for my son and could share their experience as well. I highly recommend their services!! They also bill insurance which can be hard to find!
Karen was amazing!! She helped me so much with latch issues when I almost gave up on breastfeeding due to pain. I highly recommend reaching out if you are on the fence, it will be worth it.
My son and I were having latch issues as well as needing overall check ins with his weight. I was referred to Dana Gillman and my goodness I couldn’t recommend her enough! She is absolutely amazing and makes you feel 100% comfortable. She has a wide range of knowledge and you can tell she really cares about her patients, she is super responsive when I have any questions and believe me I have a ton! Extremely happy with my care by Dana, BOOK WITH HER!

I’ve never worked with or consulted a lactation consultant but my experience with Donique Trotter was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable with great recommendations. I left the meeting feeling reassured and a little more confident in my breastfeeding journey. I ten out of ten recommend!
