I had no real trouble breastfeeding my first child, so when my second hit 4 weeks old and I was still in pain while nursing, and he needed to feed around the clock, I knew something was wrong. I looked for a lactation consultant who took my insurance (Aetna) and found Bayou City Breastfeeding. Kingwood was a bit of a drive, but my visit with Karen was well worth it! She was so easy to talk to and she helped me help my son to latch better, and showed me some exercises I can do for him to loosen his muscles. She also looked him over and was able to recommend a great ENT for me to take him to for a possible tongue and lip tie which I have now had revised. My son is feeding so much better now! I’m no longer in pain, and can see that he’s having an easier time getting what he needs out of each feed. If you feel at all like something isn’t right with your breastfeeding experience, definitely make an appointment with Bayou City. You’ll be in a comfortable setting where all your questions can be answered and your mind can be put at ease.

Visited with my daughter about 2 weeks after she was born. Setting the appointment was easy as they would just text my phone which was best for me with a newborn. I was so happy that I went. I left feeling reassured that my baby was getting enough to eat and my production was adequate and coming along. I felt totally comfortable and at home with the consultant even though I am a pretty modest person. She was very kind and reassuring and gentle with my baby. She gave me some great advice, taught me some great exercises I could help my baby practice and gave me some great referrals to have a lip and tongue tie evaluated. I will probably set up a follow up consult here soon now that the lip and tongue tie have been evaluated to make sure my babies latch is the best latch.

Melissa was such a great support through our breastfeeding journey. What started off difficult became so smooth thanks to her guidance and help. She really went over and above to help us out and I’m so thankful for her support and patience as we worked through options I was comfortable with! She visited us at home which made things really seamless and comfortable with a newborn.

Tiphany was absolutely wonderful today. She is so knowledgeable in all things breastfeeding and helped me and my little guy tremendously. I lost faith in the lactation consultants at the hospital where I delivered and Tiphany completely changed my mind. It is apparent when talking to her that she knows her stuff and truly has a passion for her job. I highly, highly recommend her and Bayou City Breastfeeding!!

I cannot say enough great things about Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation!! If you’re on the fence if you can breastfeed, I would absolutely make an appointment here first. It may seem overwhelming but having someone guide you and give you advice along the way will be so helpful. Katelyn helped me through SO much! I learned how to nurse my baby and pump better and more efficiently. I gained so much confidence in my abilities to feed by baby thanks to her guidance. Especially during the early postpartum days. My daughter also has reflux and Katelyn helped me work on things to improve this and help keep my baby comfortable as well. I’m now off of maternity leave and had to begin traveling for work..Katelyn helped me with so many things to prepare for being away from my baby so I could have a supply at home. She also helped me work out options to pump on the go conveniently and with ease. It was a breeze when I traveled for work thanks to her help! I owe so much of my successful breastfeeding journey to Katelyn. I am so grateful that my baby is 6mths old and we are still breastfeeding, even as a working mom! THANK YOU KATELYN!! I couldn’t have gotten through this without you.
