As a first-time mom with a tongue-tied and lip-tied baby, I have had a lot of problems with breastfeeding. One problem after another, after another, after another. My daughter is now almost 2 months old, and we are making gradual progress -- with the help of the Lactation Foundation. I have had 2 appointments with Mary, one of the IBCLCs at the Lactation Foundation. She has been great -- very thorough & patient. She doesn't rush me & makes sure that all my questions are answered. Her guidance has been so helpful. She referred me to a feeding therapist & as a result my daughter's milk transfer ability has improved a bunch. She also gave me a Medela SNS (supplemental nursing system) because they had them in the office -- I had been planning to buy an SNS, but when I brought it up she checked & they had it in stock, so I got it for free. Really great! The Lactation Foundation also has weekly breastfeeding support groups -- currently on Thursdays 10-11am. There are lactation consultants present for the group & they help you & you can do weighed feeds during the group as well. The parking situation is pretty good -- the building has a private lot.

I heard about them via a friend and have used their services to coach me through nursing two children. Mary, Alisa, and Barbara are all IBCLCs and are kind and understanding. I never felt any judgement or "breast is best" pressure from them while I was struggling to build a sufficient milk supply. Private consultations are free and last anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes. They also hold weekly support groups on Thursday mornings where you can get a free weighed feed as well. This place is beyond amazing. Definitely check them out if you're experiencing struggles on your breastfeeding journey!!

After things didn't work out with a previous IBCLC, Rosemary responded to an urgent message filled with desperation and agreed to see us on December 20, 2024 right before the holidays. My son was not latching well and breastfeeding was excruciatingly painful at 3 weeks old. I was distraught. Rosemary was so kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Rosemary knows everything. She really does. She is so experienced. She is systematic. She is thorough. She is a breastfeeding genius. We worked together for weeks and weeks trying to improve my son's latch, his milk transfer, and get to the bottom of our issues. Rosemary identified possible oral tethered tissue. We were reluctant and got multiple opinions from pediatricians, ENTS, etcetera. Rosemary never pushes anything. She only educates and empowers. When my son was finally diagnosed and we decided to proceed with the release with an ENT of her recommendation. Rosemary was there every step of the way. We saw her every week or every other week for 4 months. I can say with certainty that she saved our breastfeeding journey. I am still breastfeeding my son at 6 months with no pain and I am thriving. I have never met a more compassionate health care professional. Forever grateful for Rosemary! Also, her office administrator, Miriam, is great and so responsive.

In nursing school I was introduced to the idea of doulas, and knew I wanted to have the support of a doula. I went off the recommendation of a friend and found my doula and ended up meeting my midwife through her as well. I finally decided to ditch my OB at his 8th mention of c-section at our prenatal appointments. It was definitely God that placed Afua in my life and I could not be more grateful. Afua came into my life at a time that I lost my sister and mom. She was the mother figure I needed providing me with all the love, support, and tough love that mothers give. I love her approach to patient care because it is unmatched by the experience you get in mainstream healthcare. Afua treated me as family, she validated every one of my concerns no matter how silly they were. She guided me throughout my pregnancy, she provided a place for all expectant and new moms to come together and share their experiences and learn from each other and support one another. She has built her own village here in Houston. I am eternally grateful to her for the support she provided to me without fail and without hesitation. Not only did she provide me with exceptional personalized prenatal care, she safely delivered my baby in the comfort of my own home and she mended my soul. Thank you Afua! I love you!

I…read morestarted my pregnancy with my long-time OBGYN, but quickly realized that there's a difference from a once-a-year appointment and ongoing, regular maternity care... And a difference in what I expected from a health care provider and what the provider was willing to give. I felt rushed during my appointments, spent the vast majority of the visits sitting alone in the waiting room or exam room waiting to be seen, just to finally get 30-60 seconds with the Doctor who barely looked up from the clipboard to ask me 'everything looks good, any questions?' before heading out of the room. I knew I wanted more personalized care from someone truly invested in my and my unborn child's wellbeing, someone who made me feel less like a number and more like a valued client, who welcomed dialogue and discussion on prenatal and birth options without judgement or a 'this is our policy' mentality. Afua and her team met all of my requirements and then set the bar higher than even I could have expected! Her prenatal care model was thorough with more frequent visits than others, which I really appreciated because as a first time mom I would come up with lots of questions. Having the bi-monthly appointments meant I was checking in on my little ones progress more often than my other pregnant friends, it helped alleviate my fears and anxiety that something was wrong and created a strong rapport with Afua. I really love how easy it is to get in touch with Afua- she personally answers all phone calls and texts, so there's no going through a front desk or multiple midwives to talk to. It's easy, efficient, and really made the prenatal (and birth!) experience comfortable. She also has monthly group prenatals, where other pregnant moms get together to discuss relevant birth and childcare topics, meet new friends, and of course eat!! I love the community feeling and getting to know other moms in the area who are also planning on delivering with a midwife. She also hosts meetings for dads, where the men have the same opportunity to mingle and get/give parenting advice. My husband and I opted for a home birth, and the whole process went so smoothly that I'm still in awe that my daughter is here, healthy, and happy, and it's all thanks to Afua.
