When I had my son, I was a nervous first-time mother. I was working as a NICU RN at Texas Children's Hospital, so I knew how important breastfeeding was. My son lost 10% of his birth weight and it was looking like I may have to use formula. I came to an appointment at the baby bistro as a last-ditch effort. Deepa Joseph changed the entire trajectory of my breastfeeding journey. She approached me with such care and compassion, that it gave me the strength to continue on. She showed genuine concern for not only my success, but for me as a person. Where many had not seen or acknowledged the importance of breastfeeding - she did. I can say with 100% confidence that without her expertise and guidance, I would not have continued on. I breastfed my son for over one year. It was a busy year and he is now 30 pounds! Thank you, Deepa!!
