Suzanne was extremely helpful and squeezed me on on Fathers day, Sunday, in the morning, to accommodate a prenatal visit I needed as I may go into labor any time soon. She gave me a lot of reassurance and I feel so much more prepared going into labor knowing they have a LC on the other side waiting for me to help me one on one! Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!
I can't recommend Bayou Breastfeeding San Antonio enough. Meghan and her team were really caring, they guided me and my baby through a tongue-lip tie, post release, with body work and lots of their support we could meet our breastfeeding goals.
Response from the owner:Hello Monserrat!

Melissa is a godsend!! 💗 She is so knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful. I felt so much more confident with our newborn after meeting with her. Can’t wait for our next follow up.
Response from the owner:Hi Emily!

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!

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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review, we are so blessed to have Karen on our team <3
I was very excited to find my insurance covered my visit completely.

I seen Brittani, she is very sweet and knowledgeable. I felt as I was talking to a...
Kristin was fantastic. She came out to my home, she was totally a calm presence and provided an excellent assessment of my son’s latch, oral anatomy and neck muscles. She gave me exercises to do with Max to work on relaxing his mouth/lips for a more open gape to improve his latch. She gave me new positions to try for a deeper latch and more comfort which drastically reduced if not eliminated my nipple pain. She did weighted feeds so we knew how much Max consumed at each breast. This gave me a lot of confidence. We even talked about pumping and flange sizing and bottle feeding when I return to work. I am looking forward to our follow up appointment in two weeks.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
We love Suzanne..we have been thru 2 kids, 2 revision procedures and 2 totally different breastfeeding experiences.. one with just enough (sometimes not enough) and with an oversupply.. if i had to do it again i would choose her again and again to help with my breastfeeding journeys!!!
Response from the owner:Ashley,

Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience with us and for choosing Bayou City Breastfeeding to see you through multiple breastfeeding journeys. As you said, each journey is different and comes with its own set of obstacles (and breakthoughs!) :-).

We truly appreciate your kind words. But remember, you did all the hard work. We are so pleased that BCB was able to help.
Don't hesitate to reach out it you need anything else!

I am so thankful for home visits during this time (pandemic). Bayou City Breastfeeding as a company did great as a company to make sure we were safe. Asked us for temperatures prior to letting our LC come into our home. When she arrived she immediately washed her hand and was wearing a mask. I absolutely love Tiphany! She has made herself so available for me and is just such an amazing support.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We know that it is a stressful time, especially with everything going on with COVID. We are so happy to be able to still provide our support services to new parents and are glad you found your visit to be helpful! Wishing you the best!
Bayou City Breastfeeding is a lifesaver! I am a second time mom, and was struggling with breastfeeding and didn't realize my baby had a lip/tongue tie....
