Google & Facebook Reviews

Can't recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding enough. Video triage visits are available if in-person visit availability is lagging. In-person visits are not rushed (90 min) with pre- and post-feeding weights of baby to ensure transfer. I learned an immense amount from my LC that completely changed my approach to breastfeeding, helped my baby increase milk transfer with less painful latch, assisted us with changing bottle nipples to address issues we were having, and eased my anxiety. Easy to communicate with staff via text message. Billing department is also very responsive and ensures complete understanding of expected insurance coverage (my visits to date have been 100% covered by UHC).
I’ve had 2 consults now with Tessa at the Jones Rd location, and baby has made so much progress with his latching. I’m not sure where our breastfeeding journey will end up, but I do know I wouldn’t have made it this far without Tessa. I’ve never felt more heard, understood, and supported. Thank you Tessa and Bayou City Breast Feeding for all that you do to help Mamas struggling to breastfeed.

I am on my third baby and all of them have had tongue ties and lip ties. It wasn’t an easy process at all. The dentist that did my second daughters tongue tie reversion did a great job with giving me information and how it effects everything your body does but there was no work a head of time and only 1 follow up appointment. Because of COVID I didn’t know what to do about my baby boy hurting me while nursing. A friend told me to look at bayou city breastfeeding so I made an appointment and man has it changed my life! Not only do they take insurance which is amazing, but the knowledge that they have is abundant! Also it is so so easy to get in contact because you can text at anytime and you will receive a response pretty quick! If all that wasn’t enough they are there for every step of the way to make sure you are ready for the procedure to going with you to the appointment and then follow ups! I truly am so thankful for bayou city breastfeeding. They help you with way more then just getting your child to latch properly! They want both the baby and mother are happy and healthy. I would refer anyone and everyone to them!
Went from my baby boy NOT being able to latch (exclusively pumping), to using a nipple shield, to direct breastfeeding and the whole process was under the guidance of Tessa. I cannot recommend bayou city breastfeeding enough! It’s been an amazing experience. All my visits were relaxing and impactful. All my questions were answered- Tessa and the other ibclc’s are too knowledgeable for their own good 🤣. Any mama looking for assistance in their breastfeeding journey should look no further!!
i had such a wonderful experience with bayou city. as a third time mama, i was still in need of breastfeeding advice. after working through my baby’s oral ties, and food sensitivities, we were still having issues with breastfeeding. i received some great tips and advice, that i hadn’t tried prior. anyone could benefit from seeing their Lcs.
