I had an amazing appointment with Kathy Lenert. I’ve had 2 in home visits with Kathy and each time I felt encouraged, supported and more informed. As a first time breast feeding mom, I had a lot of anxiety around supply, latch and overall oral restrictions with my baby. Kathy heard all my concerns and addressed each one with patience, knowledge and encouragement. The first appt - she took time examining my baby; explaining what she saw and what she was doing and offered support/suggestions and exercises. She has great examples, models and explains everything so well - but is careful not to overwhelm. She showed me different ways to feed more comfortably and fit my right with my pump size. Also her bedside manner makes you feel a lot at ease in such a stressful time. I appreciate that each session is then quickly followed with summary notes and detailed information regarding anything discussed. 10000% recommend and couldn’t say enough positive things about her! She knows what she’s talking about!

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...

I saw basically everyone in the magnolia office because of my scheduling and they’re all incredibly helpful. I’m a first time mom and my baby had to have a mouth procedure. These ladies. Helped me navigate how to best help her and heal her mouth! Additionally, I am an over supplier and get frequent clogged milk ducts, they were able to teach me how to work through this!

I met with Claire after having issues with aggressive letdown and oversupply that was causing painful feedings for baby and I. She helped with the letdown and supply, while also teaching me more comfortable positions and aids to help with better feedings all around. I’m incredibly thankful to have found Claire and Bayou City Breastfeeding and will continue our feeding journey with them happily!
