Amazing support in such a difficult time that’s trying to breastfeed your baby. My consultant was Karen and I have no words to describe the help, patience and knowledge shared.

We referred to bayou city when my daughter was 2 weeks old with a tongue and lip tie which was causing some breastfeeding issues, and I’m so grateful we were led to this group. Suzanne is incredible! She is beyond knowledgeable in this field and it... shows. She cares so much for her patients and has helped us with learning how to properly nurse with ease. We’ve also seen Tessa for bodywork and she has such a magic touch, I can literally watch the tension leave my daughter. She always leaves her appointments feeling so much more relaxed and content. I will absolutely recommend this lactation group to any mom seasoned or first time they are amazing!read more

Let me just say, that these ladies are all amazing! My regular consultant is out on leave, but the other consultants have worked together to accommodate me so they I can continue to get the lactation support I need. I've had the pleasure to work... with about 5 of the consultants at the company, and each one brings something different yet equally great as the others. I love that they treat you like family.read more

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!read more

BCBL is extremely helpful and professional. I had the pleasure of working with Megan on a virtual call that was very much needed at the time. She was incredibly sweet and very helpful. She put me at ease when I was struggling and highly stressed. I... also had an in-home visit with Ariel. She was also so great at putting our concerns at ease. She provided a wealth of knowledge, a great resource of information and contacts, and was responsive to further questions and making herself available after our visit. We felt more comfortable and confident with her advice. So tremendously grateful for these ladies and hope to continue my journey with them. Highly recommend!read more
