The ladies (Karen & Suzanne) at Bayou City Breastfeeding have been a godsend. They immediately made me feel welcomed and comfortable. They’ve taught me SO much about breastfeeding that I had no idea about, despite all of my “internet research”. My son had a tongue/lip tie revision that reattached. I’m amazed by the work they put in to work with the pediatric dentist and the family to provide the best care for the best outcome.. without them my sons tie would still be reattached & we’d be right back at square one. I also have to say, Suzanne works so hard with making sure families can afford lactation services from providing the grant program to working with insurance companies. My family cannot say thank you enough to these ladies for helping with our breastfeeding journey.
What an amazing experience. Learned so much, patient and caring staff
Highly recommend. Did a virtual session on day 4 post partum (did first avaliable appointment), engorged, losing my mind, not able to nurse my baby. Lactation consultants at the hospital were not helpful. Suzanne came thru big time. Made 3 followup sessions in person with Melissa. They were super helpful. I cannot recommend them enough. If I could go back in time, I would have done a prenatal appointment, to get all my supplies lined up ahead of time. Latching is a technique, tips and tricks make the world of difference. Also having a plan B, just in case you have insufficient glandular tissue is a good idea. Suggestions- look up different flange sizes compatible with your pump. Nipple changes size during Lactation. I ordered a variety pack, which was helpful. Melissa recommended a bottle and nipple combo that I had never heard of, but turned out to be essential. I cannot recommend enough. A+++ service.
I had a great experience at Bayou City Breastfeeding at the Jones Rd office. I saw IBCLC Dana. She was absolutely wonderful! She was easy to talk to, nonjudgmental, and and answered all my questions with advice and reasons to back up the advice. I felt heard, seen, and validated, and the appointment did not feel rushed at all. At first I wanted an in-home visit but they didn’t have any available but were able to get me in the office—it was probably good for me to get out of the house honestly! I absolutely recommend ANY nursing mom to see an IBCLC here, even if it’s just for reassurance! 1000% worth it.
I love this place. So greatful for Ms. Nicole, without her I wouldn’t have kept breastfeeding. She’s very knowledgeable, and listens to my concerns to try to get to the root of the problem. I’m thankful I have someone to guide me in this vulnerable stage of life. I also recommend Dr. Emily and the bodywork that’s been so helpful aswell!
