I absolutely love the ladies here! They are all so helpful and encouraging. Mary helped me through my daughters tongue tie surgery and was so amazing to work with! 100% recommend coming to see these ladies!

Mary was amazing! She educated me and gave me so much support.

Rosalba Gutierrez is an amazing lactation consultant. She also takes Aetna insurance, but if you contact her she can refer you to check whether she may be...

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!

Melissa Carrera was a wonderful support system during my breastfeeding journey. My initial goal was 100% breastfeeding; however, my baby had lost over 10% of his weight by his first pediatrician appointment so we immediately started supplementing with formula and pumped milk. I was initially sad and felt guilty that breastfeeding was not working but Melissa reassured me that breastfeeding did not have to be an all or nothing process. I faced several setbacks such as thrush, mastitis, several clogged ducts and Melissa provided me with the tools and emotional support to get through all of those issues when I felt like wanting to quit several times. She answered my messages at odd hours in the night and on weekends. Her presence is extremely calming, nurturing, and supportive. My baby is now 4 months old and I am on a sustainable pumping schedule with the occasional formula supplementation and I could not have done it without Melissa’s support!

Even with the online classes I was struggling to breastfeed. I’m so glad I contacted Bayou City breastfeeding. Katelyn was fantastic she sat down with us and looked at all the obstacles we’ve been battling and we came up with a plan that hopefully works for us.

I am so grateful for Nicole and all of her guidance, validation and direction! She is such an asset to the LC community with her knowledge & expertise! Breastfeeding is such an emotional journey and I’m glad to have found Bayou City Breastfeeding to have put me on the right track! Having 1-on-1 guidance outside of the hospital was extremely important to me for numerous reasons. The appointments are 100% worth the time, energy, and effort to get any momma dedicated to her feeding journey!

Mary was an amazing IBCLC. She spent hours listening, working with us, and consulting different resources to get our 4.5lb emergency C-section baby from his feeding tube, through a tie release procedure to a happy little guy who nursed until he was almost 2. She stayed in touch with us periodically even after we stopped seeing her regularly. Just a few months ago after guiding me through some resources on breastfeeding during IVF for our next pregnancy I sent her the following: Just wanted to report in and thank you for the incredible work you did to save Gavin's breastfeeding journey. It is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received and there are no words to appropriately thank you 🙏 Merry Christmas! 🎄

I highly recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding! They helped me overcome so many challenges with breastfeeding. I saw them with my first and now with my second.

Suzanne was awesome, she was very patient and knowledgeable. I left the appointment feeling like I can definitely be successful at nursing premature twins.
