If you're even thinking about booking with Ariel Brewer at Bayou City Breastfeeding, do it. Immediately.
I say this with absolute certainty: our breastfeeding journey would not have been successful without Ariel. The cards were stacked against us from day one — latching issues, lip tie, tongue tie, inverted nipples, and an extremely low milk supply. Honestly, it felt like everything that could go wrong did. There was no logical reason we should’ve made it to where we are today… but we did. And it’s entirely because Ariel guided us through each challenge — one at a time, with so much knowledge, compassion, and the kind of calm confidence that made me believe we could do this.
First, we tackled milk supply while navigating some tricky anatomy issues between me and my baby. Ariel gave me clear, step-by-step guidance that helped me build supply and get my baby back to birthweight. And wow — we crushed it. I went from being a significant under-supplier to a slight over-supplier. And seemingly overnight, my baby caught up and began thriving.
Then came the tongue and lip ties. Right after getting them revised, my baby latched without a shield, without leaking, and — miracle of miracles — without pain. Thriving didn’t even begin to describe it.
And just when I thought we were out of the woods, my supply suddenly dropped out of nowhere. But again, Ariel had my back. With her concise instructions (plus a few optional hacks), I was able to regain every ounce of lost supply within a couple of weeks.
Today, we’re nearly 8 months into our journey. My baby is happy, deeply connected to me, and rocking the 98th percentile. Big. Beautiful. Thriving.
Saying Ariel gave us a priceless gift feels like an understatement. Her support didn’t just help me breastfeed — it gave me confidence, reassurance, and resilience I didn’t know I had. Her belief in me, her encouraging nudges, and even her occasional bits of mom-wisdom were exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed them.
Ariel is an exceptional lactation consultant — and an even more extraordinary human. She goes far above and beyond the job description, and I’ll be forever grateful for her.
