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!

Where do I even begin. As a second time mom to a baby with oral ties, I thought I knew what to expect. Before coming to BCB, my son had a severe anterior tongue tie that was revised at 10 days old; at 8 weeks old he was gaining weight very well but I just knew something wasn’t quite right; I was having intense nipple pain from vasospasms that was only tolerable with prescription medication. I saw Suzanne for a second opinion and she instantly identified either an incomplete release or poor healing from the prior revision. I worked with Suzanne and Dr. Chelsea to prepare my son for a second tongue tie and lip tie revision at 3 months old. Although very anxious, Suzanne instilled complete confidence. Two days after his release I could already see drastic improvement in his nursing and my pain; I was able to nurse complete pain free for the first time in 14 weeks. At 1 week post procedure I was able to take my son on a family trip to Italy for a wedding. We’re now 2 weeks post procedure and my son is nursing efficiently and pain free! I am so incredibly thankful for Suzanne and the team of providers she recruited to support me and my son and rescue our breastfeeding journey (including a chiropractor reference in Rome!). I would not have been able to continue breastfeeding without her. We still have work ahead but I have complete confidence we can manage anything.

Jessica has been a huge blessing in my life since having my first baby and now to have the peace of mind and confidence derived from her support is just truly such a gift! I’m so thankful and looking forward to another successful breastfeeding experience with baby number 2 thanks to her! I couldn’t feel more prepared going into my delivery.

Tessa is amazing very knowledgeable and helped me so much with my little one if I forget to ask a question during the visit I can always text and she will respond with in the 24hr period she is awesome. Thanks to her I dont feel like I am alone in the my breastfeeding journey with my tongue tie baby.

I’ve reviewed bayou city breastfeeding before with my first born and it was fantastic. I’m here to write a second review since we used them again for my second baby. I thought everything was going well until week 8 when we started to see bottle refusal and over just general fussiness and not sleeping longer than an hour. We saw Ariel for what we thought was bottle refusal. Ariel listened to a bunch of information we threw at her, patiently let us show her what was happening, and had it figured out in minutes. She identified a tongue tie that another LC and a pediatrician had both missed, referred us to a wonderful dentist and within two weeks, our baby was back and feeding better than before. It’s also important to note Ariel did not push to have the tie released or pressure us into anything. She simply told us what she saw and referred us to several great specialists. We cannot thank Ariel enough for being so incredible at her job. We feel so lucky to have found Bayou City Breastfeeding. Thank you Ariel and team!!
