COVID UPDATES

We understand that our clients are concerned about the current outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19). As a practice, we are actively monitoring the situation and wanted to let you know what we are doing to ensure everyone's safety.

For in-person visits, we are following the recent CDC coronavirus guidelines regarding the COVID-19 virus. We are also offering clients the option to book a virtual consultation.

PRE-APPOINTMENT SCREENING

If you have an upcoming in-person appointment, we are implementing a COVID-19 screening process. You will be contacted before your appointment to screen for factors that increase the risk of being a COVID-19 carrier. Based on the results, you may be asked to reschedule your appointment or to have a virtual consultation.

WHAT IF MY IBCLC® IS SICK?

We follow the same screening guidelines for our Lactation Consultants as we do for our clients. If a consultant or a member of their family has had exposure to COVID-19, we have implemented a 14-day quarantine policy. During the 14-day quarantine, the IBCLC will not be allowed to see clients.

WHAT ARE WE SCREENING FOR?

We have a thorough screening for all clients and staff. Here are the questions we will ask in our screening:

Have you or your family traveled in the past two weeks?
Have you or your family had a cough, fever, or has been ill within 48 hours of your scheduled appointment?
Have you or your family has had close contact with a person who is under investigation for 2019- COVID-19 infection (Coronavirus) in the past 14 days.
Have you and your family been social distancing in the past 2 weeks
Have you or your family have attended any events with more than 10 people, and if you will be asked if you wore a mask during the event.
You will be asked to list everyone who will be present for the consultation
On the day of your visit, we will contact you and ask you to take your temperature to screen for fever.

If the screening results determine that you cannot have an in-person visit, you will be given the option to schedule a virtual consultation, or you can reschedule your visit. No cancellation fees will be charged if the appointment is rescheduled due to the screening results.

SAFETY FIRST DURING IN-PERSON APPOINTMENTS

During our appointments, we follow the recommended guidelines from the World Health Organization.

We clean and sanitize all our equipment before and after every visit.
We always wash our hands before and after every visit and use alcohol-based hand sanitizer during the visit.
We always wear a mask during the entire visit and wear gloves whenever touching you or your baby.
We limit close contact as much as possible during the visit.
We only allow the breastfeeding parent, infant(s), and one support person in the visit.
We require any adults present to wear a mask unless they have tested negative for COVID-19.
If you have a home visit scheduled, please make sure to have hand soap and paper towels available for your IBCLC to use during the visit.

We offer Virtual Consultations through our HIPAA compliant secure telehealth video platform SpruceHealth.</a href>

If you would like to have your consultation via video conferencing, let us know!

To schedule a virtual consultation, you can Call/Text: +1 (281) 305-0411 or visit our online scheduling website.

COVID-19 AND BREASTFEEDING

Current recommendations for breastfeeding parents

Breastfeeding is recommended for all babies, regardless of the parent's COVID-19 status. COVID-19 antibodies have been discovered in breastmilk. And we know that breastmilk gives infants the highest level of protection against respiratory illness.

If you are COVID-19 positive and wish to breastfeed your baby, you should use precautionary measures (wash hands, wear a mask, cough into your elbow, etc.) when breastfeeding, but you may still breastfeed directly.

Resources for breastfeeding parents

Below are links to trusted resources for more information about COVID-19 and breastfeeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should you see an IBCLC®?

We know it can be confusing for new parents, since there are so many different people offering to help with breastfeeding. And even if parents are looking at credentials to figure out who has the skills needed to help their situation, there are just too many different certifications. (Breastfeeding Educators, Certified Lactation Counselors (CLC), WIC Peer Counselors, La Leche League Leaders, Breastfeeding USA Counselors, Breastfeeding Specialists, Registered Nurses, Newborn Care Specialists, Postpartum Doulas and on and on....)

Those of us in the lactation world call this the "alphabet soup" of lactation credentials.

What is an IBCLC®?

IBCLC's (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant®.) are healthcare workers who have extensive education and experience supporting breastfeeding families.

What does an IBCLC do?

An IBCLC provides skilled lactation management for everything from general lactation education and basic latch issues to more complicated lactation problems, such as tongue-tie or weight gain problems.

How are IBCLCs different from everyone else providing breastfeeding support?

A lot of these breastfeeding helpers have some lactation training, and may have even been required to take a exam showing basic breastfeeding knowledge. The difference is the level of education, training, and the hundreds of hours of hands on clinical experience required before you can even be be approved to take the IBCLC exam. Additionally, the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBCLE)® ensures that the IBCLC exam is comprehensive. The IBCLC is considered to be the Gold Standard of lactation knowledge.

How do you become an IBCLC?

In order to become an IBCLC, you must complete a specific college curriculum of Health Science Education, you must complete at least 90 hours of lactation specific education, and complete between 300 - 1000 hours of hands on clinical hours. There are three pathways that candidates can use to achieve the IBCLC.

IBCLC’s are required to re-certify with continuing education and clinical hours or by exam every five years to demonstrate current knowledge.

But I saw a lactation consultant in the hospital...

Before their first visit, clients often ask how seeing a private practice IBCLC is different than seeing the LC in the hospital. But by the end of the first visit, everyone always says that they had no idea how different this experience really is. Here are some of the reasons why the support you get in the hospital just can’t compare to a private practice visit.

Time is limited.

In the hospital environment, the lactation specialist, nurse, or IBCLC has a set amount of patients to see during each shift and can’t spend a lot of time with anyone. They usually are expected to see at least 12-15 or more new mothers each shift, and patients will often see a different person for lactation support each day!

While the IBCLCs in the hospital work very hard, being a hospital-based IBCLC is very difficult – we know, because we’ve been there. They have a lot of information to teach in a short amount of time, and parents often get different and sometimes conflicting information from every IBCLC, nurse, or doctor they see.

Information Overload

Most patients are exhausted from their birth and often on medications that make it even more difficult to absorb what everyone is telling them. In our private practice, we spend time with you and your family to develop a relationship that spans your breastfeeding journey.

Our initial visit lasts 2-3 hours, and follow up appointments are generally 1-2 hours long. We know that this is a long time out of a new parent’s day, but it is vital to do a full assessment of both the parent and baby and understand each unique situation to create a care plan specific to that parent and their baby.

Assessment is difficult in the early days

Another problem is that many hospitals do not allow their IBCLCs to do a full assessment of the baby, so often, issues like lip and tongue ties are missed. Most patients are in the hospital for only one or two nights, well before their milk is in, and milk supply can be adequately assessed.

Most problems don't show up until you are home.

Most breastfeeding problems don’t show up until the mother’s milk comes in, usually on day 3-5 postpartum, and parents are left with limited resources to help with these breastfeeding problems.

So why choose our practice?

Our practice has multiple IBCLCs with advanced training in many complex issues. This allows us to not only cover a large geographical area but also to help match patients with the best IBCLC for their specific situation. In complex cases, we refer and cross-consult within our practice, so you always get the best information and guidance possible.

Our practice provides support for new parents throughout their breastfeeding journey, beginning in the prenatal period, in the hospital, continuing after returning home, and through weaning and we believe in walking beside you to support the full lifespan of your breastfeeding relationship.

What do you do in a lactation visit?

The answer to this question is really a lot more than you probably think!

Most visits consist of the following:

Birthing / Breastfeeding parent health history review
Baby(s) health history review
Breast exam/assessment
Infant exam/assessment (including oral assessment)
Feeding observation and assessment (weighted feed and/or observation of bottle feeding)
Breast pump observation and assessment
Education on relevant topics
Creation of a personalized care plan
Creation of report for physician(s)

How much time will my lactation specialist spend with me?

In a typical initial consultation with us, you will spend 2-3 hours with your IBCLC, and 1-2 hours in a typical follow up visit. And even before your first visit, we have you fill out detailed intake forms, so that we can review them before your visit.

Why is the visit so long?

A visit with us will be different than any other health-related visit you have ever experienced. Our visits are time intensive, multi-dimensional and comprehensive. Often feeding issues are multi-factorial -- in other words -- there are multiple things impacting the feeding. In lactation, we are the only medical providers who have two patients and we treat the parent and baby together.

What is the difference between home, office and virtual visits?

Choosing what type of visit to have

We offer 3 ways you can have a lactation consultation. If you live in the greater Houston area, you can choose to have an IBCLC come to your home. We also have 5 convenient office locations throughout Houston (Greenway Plaza, Kingwood, Conroe, Cypress and Pearland). Or, you can even choose to visit with us virtually through our HIPAA compliant telehealth system, Spruce Health. So, what is the difference between each type of visit, and how do you choose which one is best for you?

In Home Visits

Having a lactation consultant visit you in your home is a wonderful choice. You get the benefit of having assistance in your normal environment and you don't have to brave Houston traffic. We can also work on positions that are difficult to do in an office environment, such as side-laying in bed while feeding. Home visits are an ideal choice for breastfeeding parents who may not yet have been cleared to drive, or parents with multiples (twins or triplets). Your IBCLC will bring a scale to weigh your baby at the visit and to do a weighted feed if appropriate.

Insurance coverage for home visits

Many of the insurance plans we take will cover the visit fee for a home visit; however, some Aetna plans do not cover this service. Additionally, some Aetna plans will apply a deductible, copay or coinsurance on home visits. If this happens, we are required to charge you these fees. Please check with your plan on coverage.

Travel charges for home visits

We charge a $60 trip/convenience fee for home visits to cover the travel time and cost and because we typically are not able to see as many clients in a day when doing in-home visits.

COVID-19 Screening for home visits

We require COVID-19 screening for all home visits, and will ask that you take your temperature prior to your IBCLC's arrival. Your IBCLC will remove their shoes and wear a mask prior to entering your home. The visit is limited to the breastfeeding parent, baby(s) and one additional caregiver.

Office Visits

Seeing your IBCLC in one of our conveniently located offices is a great choice. Because we are able to see more clients in a day when doing office visits, sometimes these visits are available sooner than a home visit. Even if you choose to have your initial visit in your home, we can often do follow up visits in one of our office locations. With office visits, there is no additional travel fee.

What to bring to an office visit

When being seen in one of our offices, we ask that you bring anything you are using when feeding your baby with you to your visit. We may also ask you to bring your breast pump to your visit. If you are using powered formula, please bring water with you to your visit.

COVID-19 screening for office visits

We require COVID-19 screening for in office visits, and will ask that you take your temperature prior to your arrival at our office. We do not use a waiting room at any of our office locations. If you are scheduled for an office visit, you will be asked to text us when you arrive, and your IBCLC will notify you when you can come directly into the office. We sanitize the office locations between scheduled clients. The visit is limited to the breastfeeding parent, baby(s) and one additional caregiver.

Virtual Visits

You might be surprised at what we can accomplish during a virtual visit! These visits are perfect for clients who are not located in Houston, for those who choose to not be seen in person, or for those clients who do not pass our COVID-19 screening. While the actual "visit" time is usually about an hour, we do ask you to provide a lot of information, pictures and videos prior to the visit for us to review ahead of time. This helps ensure we make the best use of our time together.

What about paying for my visit? Can I use insurance?

Insurance Coverage For Lactation Services

The good news is that for many clients, insurance will often pay for all or a portion of the visit fees. We are currently able to accept selected plans from the following insurance providers:

Aetna: We are in network with most Aetna plans, except for the Memorial Hermann ACO and a few other restricted access plans. Some Aetna plans charge a copay/coinsurance or deductible for services.
KelseyCare: We are in network with all KelseyCare Plan. KelseyCare will require a referral from your primary care physician for both the lactating parent and the baby.
Humana: We were accepted in the Humana network in August 2022; however, we may not show up as an in network provider yet, as we are still onboarding.
TRICARE EAST: We currently have one IBCLC who is a TRICARE East certified IBCLC. We are NOT an in-network provider, so TRICARE members will be required to self-pay and submit their superbill for reimbursement.

BlueCross Blue Shield PPO, Anthem BCBS PPO, and Cigna PPO∗

What if you don't accept my insurance?

When we can't accept your insurance, we do require clients to pay for the services when rendered, but we provide a timely payment discount for these clients. Payment must be made within 1 business day. We can also provide a super-bill for you to file with your insurance company.

The Affordable Care Act requires that most health insurance plans, except self-funded and grandfathered plans, provide access to trained lactation support at no cost to the mother. So even if we don't accept your insurance, you may still be able to get your insurance company to reimburse you for your lactation visit.

What if I want to pay for a visit for someone else?

You can choose to purchase a gift card in any denomination for a lactation visit through Square.

What forms of payment do you take?

You will be required to give us a valid credit card number after scheduling your first visit with us. Our normal process is to charge the credit card you provided for your visit on the first business day after your visit. Delay in payment for a visit may result in forfeiture of the timely payment discount.

Using a FSA or HSA to pay for services

Clients who have an FSA (flexible spending account) or HSA (healthcare spending account) may use these funds to pay for their lactation visits.

Using an FSA or HSA does not prevent you from filing for reimbursement with your insurance company; however, if the insurer does reimburse you for the services, you may have to redeposit the funds in your account. We recommend that you discuss this with your accountant for specific advice.

Lauren Farr

Claire at Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation was amazing!!! She started with a thorough exam to determine if there were any concern with my son's mouth. She then answered all of our questions and provided great advice on how we can improve our feeding routines. She also gave us a way to communicate if any issues were to come up, and when they did she provided us with great information and articles to help me move past the issue. I highly recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation.

Jona Perez -Wilson

I'm grateful I was able to get an appointment so quickly. Tiffany was great! I am no longer in pain, and I learned so many HELPFUL things! I wish I would have made an appointment with her 2 months ago. Thank you Tiffany.

Eden Howe

Kristin and the team have been absolutely amazing in our breastfeeding journey! I had newborn who had blood sugar issues in the hospital and had to give her a bottle so she was refusing to latch once we got home from the hospital. It was so easy to book an appointment with Bayou City and they took care of all the insurance process. With Kristin’s expertise my baby was able to get back to nursing! As a first time mom it was such a gift to have support, advice, and encouragement every week! I'm so grateful to have had the support and have recommended them to all my mom friends!

Courtney Jetelina

I had my first postpartum consultation with Katelyn today and cannot thank her enough for all her help! I was having major problems being able to breastfeed comfortably and this visit was a gamechanger for my newborn and me. Katelyn was super caring, knowledgeable and helped my baby and I tremendously on our journey to learning how to breastfeed. If you are needing help with anything from breastfeeding to pumping and beyond, she is your go to girl!

Kai Gurung-Doll

BCBL has been GREAT with us. As a first time mother, I was stressed and confused in regards to breastfeeding. Out of desperation I made an appointment request middle of the night. I was reached out promptly by BCBL with appointment arranged with Melissa C. She is the BEST! She took her time with us by showing us how to and what to do and also went over all the questions we had about breastfeeding. The weekly checkups and appointments was great help! Highly Recommend this gorgeous establishment 🙂

Brittany Scherzinger

I am so grateful for Bayou City LC! I was having major pain from what I thought was a clogged duct. Even though it was a Sunday they called me and it turned out I have mastitis. I was able to have the consultation with Suzanne for recommendations, meet with my doctor and get a prescription all within 2 hours. ON A SUNDAY! They are genuinely caring and there to help. I don't know what I would do without them. Biggest thanks to Amanda for getting me on the books and Suzanne for taking time with me on a weekend. They also helped when I was having issues with an oversupply. I will continue to use them through my breastfeeding journey and recommending them to others. Thank you!

Ariana Minton

Kathy was great from my prenatal lactation visit through the first couple months of birth with my baby. She was so informative and helped navigate through some breastfeeding issues I was having. I highly recommend BCBLC.

Chelsea Dickerson

Mandy has been so great with helping us in our breastfeeding journey. We are so appreciative and look forward to a long and healthy breastfeeding run!

Montserrat Larios

I can't recommend Bayou Breastfeeding San Antonio enough. Meghan and her team were really caring, they guided me and my baby through a tongue-lip tie, post release, with body work and lots of their support we could meet our breastfeeding goals.

Leslie R.

Tiphany was amazing! She helped transform our breastfeeding journey and changed our lives. She was patient with me and I always felt extremely informed by...

Emily Coty

I've had a wonderful experience at Bayou City Breastfeeding!! Rebecca was outstanding in helping me navigate the complexities of my BlueCross BlueShield insurance. She made what could have been a daunting process remarkably smooth and stress-free through her exceptional communication skills. She promptly responded to my inquiries, providing timely updates and guidance as needed. Thanks to Rebecca's assistance, I was able to access the lactation support I needed without the added stress of navigating insurance complexities.

Erika Zuckero

Top of the line lactation care for those who will spare no expense for their little one. Kristin was so caring and thoughtful as well as patient with us as new firsttime parents! My consultation really helped put my mind at ease in the early weeks, if even just to have someone to talk to and validate my concerns! If you’re on the fence about seeing an LC, don’t be—your baby will thank you (in coos and gurgles) and your mind will be so much more at ease. It’s worth the few hundred dollars to have them come to your home. Max thanks you, Kristin!

LoveFromTheZona

We had a great experience here! Our lactation consultant really took her time with us and gave us multiple ideas to try to remedy one issue we were experiencing. We did not feel rushed and felt understood/heard. Thank you!

Amanda Kelso

Very respectful, professional, compassionate and knowledgeable. My baby came early and they were flexible to schedule me as soon as possible. Highly recommend.

Stephanie Odejimi

Such a great experience. Kyna is helping me with my first baby who has severe reflux. She is so patient and informative. I absolutely recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding.

Joe C.

My wife and I have had 2 babies both with tongue ties and lip ties. So much pain with breastfeeding, so much difficulty with getting a good latch, so much...

Alexandria DeBerry Beede

I can’t rave enough about Suzanne and her staff. I was clueless as a first time mom regarding all things breastfeeding.. she answered all my questions and more. Supportive, informative, and caring all around!

Kelsey Bransburg

Little late posting my review but better late than never!
I first saw Nicole on 1/1 of this year and due to previous experiences at a different business, I was skeptical but wanted to try for my newborn since I was only producing an ounce or two a day. Nicole was absolutely AMAZING! She listened to my rambling and understood my concerns. Unlike the previous consultant, Nicole actually examined me and explained that it wasn't my fault I wasn't producing as much as I wanted. She gave me options to try to increase my supply but also set expectations that I would have to still supplement due to my condition. She helped me rid of the guilt I felt because I thought I wasn't doing enough.
After a few more visits, a massive drop in supply (thanks to my body), and a good cry in Nicole's office, I decided my breastfeeding journey was over. She was completely supportive and advocated for myself and my baby. She also explained to me the benefits of still latching even though I didn't really have supply.
I highly recommend Nicole and this entire company!! They will go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of, that you understand everything, and they aren't going to overwhelm you.

Montana Soto

The ladies (Karen & Suzanne) at Bayou City Breastfeeding have been a godsend. They immediately made me feel welcomed and comfortable. They’ve taught me SO much about breastfeeding that I had no idea about, despite all of my “internet research”. My son had a tongue/lip tie revision that reattached. I’m amazed by the work they put in to work with the pediatric dentist and the family to provide the best care for the best outcome.. without them my sons tie would still be reattached & we’d be right back at square one. I also have to say, Suzanne works so hard with making sure families can afford lactation services from providing the grant program to working with insurance companies. My family cannot say thank you enough to these ladies for helping with our breastfeeding journey.

Erin N.

Mary was an amazing IBCLC. She spent hours listening, working with us, and consulting different resources to get our 4.5 lb emergency C-section baby from...

Karly and Daniel Ramirez

First, Bayou City is great! I reached out via text on a Sunday and they responded and got me set up with an appointment the next day. Karen has been our saving grace. She has taken my very complicated case and gone above and beyond to help me find answers. If she didn’t know something she went to great lengths to find someone who did. Without her I wouldn’t be as far as I am now. This is my first birth, and she genuinely has helped me with being the best mama to my baby I can be. I think seeing someone like Karen should be a recommendation for any mom-not just those who need assistance in lactating.

Frouke Buyse

No question or concern are too big are small. The plan created fits the concerns and needs of the family. I was from the first time helped to the point feeding didn’t hurt. It has been explained very well and easy to follow.

Katie

I am so thankful that I was referred to BCB from a pediatric dentist in the area. He recommended that I visit the Kingwood office for a combo visit which includes ~ body work (with a chiropractor) and also a session with the lactation consultant. My daughter who was scheduled to have her oral restriction (tongue tie) remediated demonstrated a painful latch, weight loss at 10%, etc. After several combo visits and some lactation only visits, we fell into a groove with nursing and at 3 months we have not had to follow through with the remediation surgery. I highly recommend BCB. All of their staff is phenomenal.

Yiressy Izaguirre Baday

Very helpful introductory meeting. I appreciated that I received an explanation for my issues and simple solutions. I felt reassured that I could continue my breastfeeding journey.

Sarah Stahlman

The lactation consultants I worked with - Megan and a few trainees - were so helpful in giving me confidence and tools to make my breastfeeding journey successful and enjoyable. My son and I are doing so well today in part because of their support. I liked that there were options for virtual, in home and in office depending on our needs and how we were doing on any given day. The online messaging with quick responses was also super helpful. I felt like they truly cared for us and especially for my son and could share their experience as well. I highly recommend their services!! They also bill insurance which can be hard to find!

Victoria Graves

Kathy exceeded my expectations as a first time mom visiting a lactation consultant. I felt comfortable, supported, and not rushed at all. She was extremely thorough and thoughtful in her evaluations and observations of me and my baby. I left my appointment feeling confident and well informed.

emily wood

I had successfully nursed 6 kids, so when my 7th baby was born I was feeling pretty confident in my breastfeeding ability. But, she had trouble eating. Distraught, I reached out to Bayou City Breastfeeding. They got me in with in a couple of days and assessed our situation. Tessa was extremely reassuring, and very knowledgeable. She helped me know which exercises I needed to do with my baby and helped me through baby's healing process after her tongue tie revision. Baby girl and I have a special bond through nursing that, at first, I didn't think it was possible. Bayou City Breastfeeding was an answer to my prayers!!

Tiffany Nava

Absolutely love this company and the whole team! My baby girl gets the absolutely best care and I couldn’t ask for a better place to take her. Highly recommend.

Ashley Q

We love Suzanne..we have been thru 2 kids, 2 revision procedures and 2 totally different breastfeeding experiences.. one with just enough (sometimes not enough) and with an oversupply.. if i had to do it again i would choose her again and again to help with my breastfeeding journeys!!!

Saray Salas

Tessa is amazing very knowledgeable and helped me so much with my little one if I forget to ask a question during the visit I can always text and she will respond with in the 24hr period she is awesome. Thanks to her I dont feel like I am alone in the my breastfeeding journey with my tongue tie baby.

Iris

I love my consultant Katelyn. She is super professional and gave me great suggestions.

Heidi Chacon

This place is incredible and Karen is a gift directly from God!!! My only regret is not starting this while still pregnant!! I think it would’ve made my whole transition into motherhood 100 better!!! Coming here was the best decision for both me and my son!!!

Whether you’re struggling or a breastfeeding rockstar, I highly recommend Suzanne and her team of experts. She takes the time to ensure success as you work towards your feeding goals.

Jessica Kirk

I've only just had the initial appointment so far, but I am very pleased with the information and guidance provided and will continue to come here for more breastfeeding support 😄

Anita Laven

They are wonderful. I would definitely recommend to help with breastfeeding questions and support.

Rachel P.

I recommend coming here. I saw Britni twice and she was super helpful! She was able to size me for my pump parts, and gave helpful tips on getting rid of...

Blanka M

I watched courses, I read books about breastfeeding and naively thought “I got this”
After a week of crying and being frustrated with feeding we started our journey with Karen and she is wonderful. Lots of knowledge and slowly but surely we are progressing. I appreciate her guidance while we are figuring this out.
It’s lovely to know that I am not alone and there is help out there.
Thank you Karen!

Nicole Steiner

Katelyn has been AMAZING to work with! She has been with us every step of the way and always there to answer questions and talk things through. I would recommend her to anyone who needs lactation support.

Rachel McGaughey

The appointment with Tessa exceeded my expectations. These ladies have done their due diligence in not only educating themselves on how to comprehensively address feeding issues with your baby and you but they ALSO ensure they pass on their knowledge based on you and your baby’s needs.

In addition to care that goes beyond anything I have seen in a medical/appointment type setting, these women have ensured that most insurance coverages will be accepted by their practice. It was so nice to not have to think about filing claims or super bills in the midst of postpartum. Thank you, BCB!

Aubrey Keziah

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!!

cuiling liu

Nichol is very patient. She gave us a lot of workable ideas and information to boost my breast milk.

Sarah Hermann

I cannot recommend Suzanne enough for her exceptional expertise and compassionate care. Suzanne has been instrumental in the care of my son who has oral ties and struggling to feed and gain weight. Her dedication to her profession and genuine concern for her patients is seen and felt during sessions. Suzanne impressed me with her comprehensive understanding of breastfeeding challenges related to oral ties. What I appreciate most about Suzanne and her team is their personalized care. They didn't just address the immediate issue; they took the time to understand our unique goals, concerns, and mental health through this journey. Their supportive attitude created a warm and welcoming environment, making me feel genuinely cared for during a challenging time.

Madeline Castle

Nicole was an amazing help to me as a first time mom! I was able to get a house call scheduled super quick, highly recommend BCB!

Claryce De Loache

I cannot speak enough praise for Bayou City, specifically Claire J and Brandy (who we met a few times!). Claire is my go to gal for all things breastfeeding for mom and baby. I’m a nicu nurse and have completed coursework myself to become a CLC, and I know MANY LCs, but none compare to Claire. She is so dedicated and is a vast wealth of knowledge. We live in Dallas and were connected to Claire through a mutual friend after a complicated tie release when my daughter was almost completely aversive to the breast and would not take a bottle. I was very close to requesting a feeding tube from my pediatrician. Claire met with me virtually multiple times, even on the day after Christmas, and she was able to help my daughter be receptive to feeding consistently in a matter of 48 hours. In the months to come, we visited Claire at bayou city for week long intensives, where she worked us in to her schedule around our other appointments in Katy and even brought in other LCs like Brandy to consult on post release healing. She is skilled at navigating ties (pre and post release) and breastfeeding, supply issues, maternal health complications, and the emotional dynamics of everything. She has a wealth of resources at her fingertips and knows how to use them. Kind and gentle, realistic, and affirming of maternal dyad goals, Claire is the person y’all need for success in your breastfeeding journey.

Rachel Reynolds

Truly at a loss for words to wholly describe what Alamo City Breastfeeding means for our family. I have used both Boerne and San Antonio location and my review is the same for both. Our kiddo had a harder start with breastfeeding. I was an overwhelmed first time mom who only knew that I wanted my baby to be fed the best and if possible fed breastmilk. I fought through exclusively pumping, releases, bodywork, appointments, personal discouragement, family members and friends encouraging me to give up to get to where we are today. The entire time I was cheered, empowered, never pressured, informed, and encouraged by Alamo City Breastfeeding. Our feeding journey would not be where it is today without them still nursing at 9 months. It feels like they do it all (breastfeeding, bottle feeding, connecting you to the right practitioners, advice, listening ear, troubleshooting, starting solids, sleep). And do it all well and kindly. To be surrounded by people who fight for you, your children’s, and your family’s well being (whatever your unique situation is) is priceless. I recommend them to any pregnant person I meet, any friend who has a big or small breastfeeding question. I immediately give them Alamo City Breastfeeding’s information. Seriously, reach out! They’ll be a tool on your parenthood toolbelt you never knew you needed.

Yiressy Izaguirre Baday

I have had a great experience with Bayou City Breastfeeding. They really made scheduling the appointment convenient and offered me a triage visit to provide guidance as I wanted for the appointment. When I met with my consultant Katelyn she was very supportive and understanding. I appreciated that she focused on my mental health just as much as my baby’s welllbeing. I now feel more confident breastfeeding my baby when previously I was almost ready to quit.

Heather N.

Erica at the Katy location was super helpful! I almost exclusively pump, so I wanted to make sure I was doing all I could to have a good supply. She...

Reva Hawkins

Let me just say, that these ladies are all amazing! My regular consultant is out on leave, but the other consultants have worked together to accommodate me so they I can continue to get the lactation support I need. I've had the pleasure to work with about 5 of the consultants at the company, and each one brings something different yet equally great as the others. I love that they treat you like family.

Shaila Ali

Suzanne was extremely helpful and squeezed me on on Fathers day, Sunday, in the morning, to accommodate a prenatal visit I needed as I may go into labor any time soon. She gave me a lot of reassurance and I feel so much more prepared going into labor knowing they have a LC on the other side waiting for me to help me one on one! Thank you!

Erin Monteaux

Absolutely loved our experience!
Ali was so informative and helped us so much! We are so grateful!

jewel Davis

I definitely recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to all new mommas!! They do not only help with breastfeeding but also PUMPING MOMMAS… and milk supply! Great experience and they are very generous<3

Yasmine Halloum

Tessa came for a home visit and was extremely knowledgeable. She was able to assess the amount of milk taken during the nursing session, provide some guidance and help on latching and give some personal feedbacks on milk supply and pump settings. I really enjoyed the first session and I am already planning to do another one to see the progress.

M Cline-Delgado

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.

faith ann

Katelyn was so sweet! She identified our issues quickly and got us on the right track with some easy home excercises.

Rene' Dolley

Jessica DeAses has been my IBCLC and she’s absolutely AMAZING! Definitely a blessing to me and my family. She’s so sweet, understanding, never makes you feel rushed, and completely relatable. I don’t feel like she’s just a consultant but a friend because she’s so easy to talk to. The office is adorable as well, so cozy! I will definitely be meeting with her for any needs I may have!

Cheyenne marie

This place is amazing!!! The amount of support they give during a breastfeeding journey! They have helped me so much and made my breastfeeding journey so much smoother! Every single individual here has been so helpful! I would highly highly recommend!

Amanda Pentico

Jennifer was amazing and super helpful! I feel so much more comfortable brush

Jennifer Bradt

After the birth of my first child in 2018 I naively thought that my child and I would know how to breastfeed and it would come naturally. Well the first month of his life he struggled to gain weight. So I looked for a lactation consultant covered by Aetna and found Bayou City Breastfeeding. I was consulted by Tessa Gardin. Looking back I wish I would have found Tessa sooner because she provided so much useful information. She is the reason I took my son to a chiropractor for cranio sacral adjustments and he was able to latch better. She is also the reason my milk output doubled and I was able to breastfeed until 11 months. After my second child was born on July 2020 I knew that I needed appointments with an LC right away. My daughter struggled with latch on my left breast, was biting my nipples and preferred to turn her head to her left side. So I saw Suzanne Juel 3 days after the birth. Suzanne is equally as helpful as Tessa and provided a lot of educational resources and diagrams that illustrated breastfeeding, milk production, and foods that increase milk supply. Suzanne showed me some alternate feeding positions that I use now since they are more comfortable. Suzanne recommended that my daughter get chiropractic adjustments. I took my daughter to a chiropractor and the adjustments improved her alignment significantly. Now my daughter does not have any latch issues, she is able to remove all the milk out on her own and she is no longer biting. She has exceeded the required weight gain for her age.

Ciara Designs

Tiphany and the team at Bayou City Breastfeeding are amazing! Tiphany’s talent for educating her clients in an encouraging manner is unmatched! She helped us from the first weeks through a few months journey of releasing our daughter’s lip, tongue and cheek ties. She recommended us to several ENTS, as well as a chiropractor to help with bodywork through the process. Our baby can now eat and is overall healthy and happy. She is thriving thanks to Tiphany and the team! I highly encourage any new parents to reach out for a very convenient in-home consultation as soon as you have your bundle of joy earth side!

Jessica Rosales

LOVED my experience with Suzanne

bobbie m

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.

ljmohon07

I learned so much about my baby and ways to help her feed better

Raisa Ffrench

Donique was extremely helpful during my consultation visit. I learned so much about the lactation process and nursing in general that made me feel ready to take on the challenge once my baby is born. I cannot recommend Donique and Bayou Breastfeeding more.

Shelby Wolter

My experience with Kristen here at BCB has been amazing! I felt alone in this process at the beginning but Kristen has made my journey much better; an expert and friend. My experience has eliminated any stress I had about breastfeeding/pumping and my journey back to work after my short leave. The education level I have gained from my appointments has made me a successful and happy breastfeeding mom. I cannot say enough good things about BCB! I would highly recommended them for your prenatal and postnatal needs.

Deondra Holak

Dr Chelsea is sweet as can be and has done great work with my tense little baby!

Morgan Mc Duffie

Dana is AMAZING! Super knowledgeable and helpful and personable. Eased my mind with breastfeeding and with my babies weight gain. Will recommend her to anyone that needs help. Thank you for making this Mommas heart feel better!

Marjan K

I found this group through my insurance and was really happy with their service and support. If you need to build your confidence in breastfeeding I highly recommend this group. Nicole our lactation consultant was great!

Jerica McClain

Bayou City Breastfeeding is a must! I booked a session right after having my baby when I discovered we were having issues with latching/feeding. I knew my baby wasn’t getting enough to eat early on and freaked out. I worked with Jennifer and she is great, I highly recommend her! She listens to your feeding goals and provided me with so many helpful tips! Tip for new moms, book one consultation before you deliver your baby so you can have a good feeding plan ahead of time then do follow-up appointments after baby is here.

Beth Wermeling

Bayou City Breastfeeding, specifically Suzanne Juel, has helped me and my daughter so much on our breastfeeding journey. She has helped my baby latch properly, ensured my baby is getting enough to eat to grow and thrive, and also helped me with establishing a pumping routine to get my baby accustomed to bottles. She also is a wealth of knowledge on so many subjects. As a first-time mom, her expertise has been invaluable. I only wish we would have seen her sooner!

Donna Ullrich

What an amazing experience. Learned so much, patient and caring staff

Elitia Huang

Brandy, Suzanne and the team are amazing! They came to our rescue when our 2 weeks old baby was in dire need of help. Suzanne gave us a video call within the same day and properly diagnosed the issue that our doctor couldn't. Brandy gave practical professional advice that we can easily follow. She does it all with such passion and care for us and our baby. My husband and I are blown away by their level of knowledge, expertise and professionalism. We are so so grateful for their service. The fruit of their labour is evident: after a short period of time, baby is gaining weight and he is so much healthier and I have more than enough milk to feed him! Highly Recommend!

Victoria Gilbert

Bayou City Breastfeeding is fabulous. They are great at scheduling quickly and efficiently. Kathy was such a blessing and joy to work with, and I really appreciated all of the follow up material she sent after our sessions. Tessa is magical and we were so impressed with the Bodywork sessions my son had with her. Kathy and Tessa were able to help us with the decision to have our son's lip and tongue tie corrected, as well as prep him beforehand and ensure we did everything we needed to after it. I'm so grateful to have found BCBF!

Mariana Moreno Ricaño

With my first child, my breastfeeding journey was terrible due to edema, low milk supply, and not so good advice from the hospital and lactation consultant. For my second child, I promised myself to be more prepared and that is how I found this practice. I was able to breastfeed my second baby and have some spare milk on the freezer. My only regret is not reaching out to Suzanne the first time around. I keep thinking how things would have been different if she had been my lactation consultant with my first child. The team here is amazing. Please reach out, even if you think it is already too late, they truly keep up and set personalized goals.

Deann Shamuyarira

When I called Suzanne the day my daughter was born because I was concerned she might have a tongue tie, Suzanne was quick to find someone in my area who could make a home visit...and she was able to come over that evening! When Suzanne found out I didn’t have insurance she offered to let me apply for their grant which greatly reduced the financial burden and allowed me to get the immediate help I needed to get us on the right track for breastfeeding. Mary was our lactation consultant and she has been a God-send. She is so experienced and knowledgeable about breastfeeding, lip and tongue ties and she is always so encouraging! She took her time with each appointment we had with her. I wanted to avoid giving my babe the bottle and she helped us navigate our breastfeeding journey in a way that helped us stay on the right track...getting my babe the nourishment she needed while keeping her at the breast as much as possible...all without introducing the bottle. Mary was always checking in on us between appointments through text and phone calls. Because of Mary’s incredible support my babe is very close to being weaned off the supplementation and completely exclusively breastfeeding!

Kat Duggan

Came in prenatal - I feel so much more confident! Thanks to Ariel! I am so thankful for BCBLC. I already scheduled a 1 week postpartum follow up at the house. Thanks for everything

Patricia Stafford

WORTH IT. Time, money, everything. Book the appointment.

Being in the newborn trenches for a third time and two successful prior breastfeeding experiences, I debated on scheduling an appointment. My primary concern was over-active letdown and pump fitting. Wasn’t sure I’d learn much more than I already knew or could google. Incorrect. I saw Kathy Lenert, an absolute wealth of information. I was impressed at her ability to teach, be hands on, and remember all of my needs. Was given extensive after-visit summary, which I appreciated. Truly wish I had seen her with all my kids.

Practical tips: Bring a helper and TAKE NOTES. I learned so so much. Parking is easy. Elevator is a bit small if you have a monster (large) stroller - but should fit. Will not fit more than two people and a stroller though.

Irene Lee

We are grateful that Suzanne was able to make a home visit to evaluate my son's lip/tongue tie in the middle of a pandemic. She came highly recommended by our baby doula and our son's dentist's office. First of all, Suzanne understood our worries about COVID-19 and did everything she could to put our minds at ease and to keep us and our baby safe by being transparent about their cleaning protocols and by following very strict home visit protocols (reporting temperatures, masks on, gloves on, social distancing, hand washing, and diligently disinfecting equipments, etc). I would not have put my trust on anyone else to come in to our home at this time. During the visit, she was very thorough in taking my son's history, from birth up until now, and doing a complete physical evaluation from head to toe. Given her background and experience, she was able to identify additional issues quickly and make recommendations in order to avoid invasive procedures in the future. When the issue was not within her scope of practice, she immediately identified pertinent help for us to mitigate the issue. She followed up with us via email and text to make sure our questions were answered. She was extremely efficient, straightforward, and thoughtful, which is exactly the qualities we looked for in healthcare provider. We very much have enjoyed our visit with Suzanne and so did my 13-week old son!

Adrian K.

I was very excited to find my insurance covered my visit completely.

Elizabeth Edgerley

Highly recommend Lisa Smelek! She was so helpful and knowledgeable, and our visits were very comfortable and enjoyable. We made great progress, and I’m thankful to have found her!

Ginger Segrest-Wormell

Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn’t the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos and decided to reach out with my third baby and am so happy I did. Suzanne provided us so much helpful information and even after our appointment she was available to us to answer some questions and I greatly appreciate that. We have our second appointment with her this week. So happy I found Bayou City Breastfeeding!

Sevan Marzwanian

This company is absolutely wonderful!! I worked with 3 different IBCLCs (depending on which location was most convenient and my crazy schedule - they were extremely accommodating), and they were all phenomenal!! Brandy is experienced and helped me get through a lot of challenges during my breastfeeding journey. The owner, Suzanne, is knowledgeable and cares a great deal about each mother/baby pair that walks through that door. I cannot recommend them enough!!

Ginger W.

Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn't the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos...

Leah Blase

Even with the online classes I was struggling to breastfeed. I’m so glad I contacted Bayou City breastfeeding. Katelyn was fantastic she sat down with us and looked at all the obstacles we’ve been battling and we came up with a plan that hopefully works for us.

Emily Hahn

Melissa is a godsend!! 💗 She is so knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful. I felt so much more confident with our newborn after meeting with her. Can’t wait for our next follow up.

Rachel Holloway

Brandy is fantastic! She really listened to my concerns and helped me to setup for success for breastfeeding and pumping when I go back to work. She even helped fit me for the correct sized phalange for the pump and tested it in office to be sure. I definitely recommend for anyone wanting to breastfeed

A Y

Amanda at Bayou City Katy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all our questions and was able to guide us in the best directions to take with many different options for our personal situation. She was able to give us tips not only for what we should do with our infant but also gave us helpful advice on what I could do personally on my behalf to help in the process. She was patient, and we learned a lot, just from our initial visit.

Erin Brown

Donique was fabulous. The whole experience was extremely educational and comfortable. I learned a TON of information, and it was delivered in a conversational, expert manner. The whole experience was great and I am so glad my pediatrician recommended Bayou City Breastfeeding.

Lydia Santos

Cannot recommend them enough! Such a welcoming and supportive space. No problem is too big or too small. They are there for you all the way from pregnancy through weaning. Love this place!

Sarah Vickery

HIGHLY RECOMMEND | CONVENIENT LOCATION | KIND | SPECIFIC 1:1 CARE - Fabulous experience with Tania at BCBLC. We’ve had two appointments and the first one alone was worth every minute. Our breastfeeding experience has greatly improved from just 90 minutes of her careful evaluation and corrective suggestions. I’m a first time mom and in hindsight I realized the lactation consultants in our delivering hospital were solely focused on providing their favorite tips and tricks for common issues and never took the time to evaluate how my son and I were breastfeeding in the first place to identify what our specific problems were. Tania took one look at us and immediately adjusted our position, my hold, and soon after identified my son needed help with his muscle strength. Truly a night and day experience between the hospital and this 1:1 lactation consultation. Weighted feeds have helped us confirm how effectively he’s drawing from the breast and soothed this mama’s heart that he’s not starving, the follow up appointment showed an improvement in his intake volume as well which confirms her suggestions are working. At our first appointment she evaluated his mouth and tongue strength and reviewed how his frenotomy was healing and prescribed an exercise to ensure it grows back well, something I didn’t necessarily expect in the context of a lactation consultation but was happy to receive. We also covered simple things like accessing my flange size and addressing a pumping schedule to up my supply. Through all of this Tania was incredibly kind and gentle in her delivery — nothing was ever presented as unfixable or a failure on our part, and for that some of my anxiety was eased. Not only has all of the information, suggestions, and prescribed exercises made a difference in just a week but the follow up appointment has been just as helpful. We’ll be back again for a third appointment to ensure his neck and mouth exercises are proving to be effective with more time but I can honestly say that in 2 appointments I feel SO MUCH BETTER about our breastfeeding journey. If insurance doesn’t cover your visits I’d say even one appointment (or two if you can swing it) would absolutely be worth the money.

Liz Calderon

Love this place! Katelyn has been so helpful with my breastfeeding journey. Truly grateful to have a place dedicated to help women feel comfortable and knowledgeable during postpartum. I would have never known my baby had a lip tie and tongue tie if it wasn’t for Katelyn. I wasn’t getting any sleep and once we clipped our baby’s tongue we had a huge improvement right away and I was able to sleep more than 1.5 hours.

Kathryn Cooke

I cannot recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding enough! Katelyn our IBCLC was so supportive and a wealth of knowledge to assist me on my breastfeeding journey. As a first time mom, I had heard about lactation consultants from friends but naively assumed breastfeeding would be easy for me. After a few days struggling to latch I reached out to Katelyn. She helped identify my daughters tongue tie and helped us through the whole process! Katelyn was very encouraging and reassuring anytime I had questions or concerns! This process wouldn’t have been so successful without her. Thank you!

Kirea Rose Fulkerson

Had a great pre baby experience. I am happy to say I had no issues feeding my baby. It was so easy after being taught what to do. The office is also very clean and professional. Staff is very knowledgeable and caring.

Sarah Ashtree

I can’t say enough good things about Tessa and how much she has helped this first time mom. She has calmed my anxieties and taught me SO MUCH about breastfeeding, positions, baby’s tongue movement, and body work. Her referral to our pediatric dentist and instructions after our tongue tie release has greatly healed my baby. Moreso, she’s so prompt with messages and will fit me in her schedule when I’m in a pinch. Our appointments are never rushed, and time just flies by in the most wonderful way. I truly never thought how much I’d need a lactation counselor as someone who’s been working with pregnant moms and moms with babies for years, but my baby isn’t even three months yet and we’ve visited her twice a month. She keeps the atmosphere super zen and uplifting. I’d go in ready to cry, end up laughing, and leave excited to implement the recommendations she’s made. Her depth of knowledge, expertise, and passion is evident. My infant always seems happier, physically relaxed, and her latch progresses so much after our visits with Tessa. I’m so grateful to her impact on our breastfeeding journey. God bless Tessa!

Haley Higgins

Mandy is amazing and so incredibly helpful! Highest recommendation for anyone needing help

Emily Dillard

Karen has been such an amazing resource for our breastfeeding journey. She's so knowledgeable and passionate about her job. It's so nice to see someone who cares for myself and my baby so much.

Alessandra Clayton

I love Bayou City Breastfeeding! I believe that my LC Karen’s support and knowledge has helped me continue my breastfeeding journey.

Staccey Suarez

I've never been to a lactation consult before so I didn't know what to expect. I had a great experience with Melissa! She was really friendly and informative. Very easy to get along with. Breastfeeding and pumping when at work has been difficult but after meeting with Melissa, I feel better about my journey. Looking forward to our follow up appointment.

Daisy Z.

Kathy was sooo helpful! My newborn was having major stomach issues and after one visit with Kathy we implemented her suggestions and my daughter is so much...

Kimberlie Fertenbaugh

We referred to bayou city when my daughter was 2 weeks old with a tongue and lip tie which was causing some breastfeeding issues, and I’m so grateful we were led to this group. Suzanne is incredible! She is beyond knowledgeable in this field and it shows. She cares so much for her patients and has helped us with learning how to properly nurse with ease. We’ve also seen Tessa for bodywork and she has such a magic touch, I can literally watch the tension leave my daughter. She always leaves her appointments feeling so much more relaxed and content. I will absolutely recommend this lactation group to any mom seasoned or first time they are amazing!

Bridget van Herp

I cannot express how wonderful of an experience I had with Bayou City Breastfeeding and my lactation consultant, Mary. I met with Mary prior to having my daughter and met with her regularly over the first 4 months since she was born. We tackled together a tongue and lip tie prior to and post-surgery, along with latching and supply issues. Mary is kind and always made me feel extremely comfortable at our visits. She spent so much time with us asking all the necessary questions, showing and suggesting different techniques to use and seeing how much my daughter was being fed. We miss seeing her and thank her so much for all of the help she provided to us.

Emily Martolini

Katelyn is the absolute best! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but she’s also a caring and empathetic person. She truly cares about her patients and she’s a joy to be around. I genuinely looked forward to our sessions!

She helped us so much during our pre-release and post-release journey. I can’t thank her enough for her thoughtful advice and support over these past few months. I’m grateful to have had her as part of our support team and recommend her to anyone who needs support while breastfeeding. She’ll listen, help, and cheer you on every step of the way!

We also had a few virtual consults with Lisa and I highly recommend her too! Her knowledge and advice were a huge help with navigating my son’s sleep. With so much conflicting information online, it was nice to have Lisa and Katelyn as points of reference who could use their knowledge and experience to put us on the right path and help us find what works best for us.

Honestly, you just can’t go wrong with Bayou City Breastfeeding!

Rebecca Olvera

Katelyn was truly amazing, sweet, informative, and gentle in every way. She gave me hope in breast-feeding; honestly, I was going to actually give up. This was my last option, and she gave me so many tips and gave me things to work on with my daughter; she truly made me feel likeI could continue my breast-feeding journey 10 out of 10 would recommend

The Heads

So thankful to Bayou City for helping us through our oral tie release journey! Katelyn and Dr. Jade are so knowledgeable and great emotional supporters.

Robin Lewis

The process of getting help was fantastic! I really liked how I got a virtual consultation before my in-person one to give me more immediate help. Katelyn was a fantastic lactation consultant! She helped me find the right pump and gave me some confidence to continue my breastfeeding journey. I will definitely be coming to this team again and recommending them to anyone that I can.

Shelby Berry

Karen Z. is truly amazing!! I’m a first time mom and breast feeding. She truly helped me to feel better about everything!

Becca Q

Made my breastfeeding pleasant and not a struggle. Thankful for Ariel and Megan for their insight and kindness. They really gave me the tools and confidence for success!

Laura Seyboth

Donique, the lactation consultant at Bayou City Breastfeeding, has been an absolute lifeline for me as a first-time mother navigating the complexities of breastfeeding. Her expertise and compassionate approach were instrumental in addressing multiple challenges my baby and I faced, including tongue tie, lip tie, reflux issues, milk supply concerns, and learning effective pumping techniques. Donique's deep understanding of lactation issues was evident from our very first session, where she patiently explained the impact of tongue and lip ties on breastfeeding and devised a comprehensive plan for treatment.

What impressed me most about Donique was her personalized care and unwavering support throughout our sessions. She took the time to listen to my concerns, offering practical advice and reassurance tailored to my specific needs. Donique's encouragement and positivity boosted my confidence and made a significant difference in my breastfeeding journey. With her guidance, I witnessed substantial improvements in my baby's feeding habits and my ability to successfully nurse and pump.

Donique's follow-up sessions were thorough and informative, demonstrating her commitment to her clients' well-being beyond the initial consultation. Her availability to address questions or concerns outside of appointments further highlighted her dedication to supporting new mothers like me. I highly recommend Donique to any mother seeking expert lactation support. Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care make her an invaluable resource for navigating the challenges of breastfeeding with confidence and success.

Makana KC Aranda

So extremely happy with the care, bedside manners, and patience with Karen Swan! I was hesitant when I first went because breastfeeding is an entire journey on its own. But after my 1st visit, I was so extremely happy and relieved I had someone who listened and helped me with this journey! I went in feeling 100% defeated (and exhausted) and walked out feeling confident and empowered. Only thing I would have done differently was not waited so long to make and appointment! LOVE THIS PLACE!!! LOVE Karen!
The facility is clean and very comforting.

My son and I were having latch issues as well as needing overall check ins with his weight. I was referred to Dana Gillman and my goodness I couldn’t recommend her enough! She is absolutely amazing and makes you feel 100% comfortable. She has a wide range of knowledge and you can tell she really cares about her patients, she is super responsive when I have any questions and believe me I have a ton! Extremely happy with my care by Dana, BOOK WITH HER!

Kirea Rose Fulkerson

Went for my first appointment here as a prenatal to get prepared. I now know how to use all the devices I got for self care and breast feeding. I feel more confident I will be better prepared. They even show you how to hold your baby and to get then to latch! I wanted more then what the newborn class I had to take had and I got it. It's also in a brand new building!

Solmayra Solis

As a first time parents my partner and I were struggling with breastfeeding. Bayou city was recommended by our midwife and they have done an amazing job helping us adjust. They answer all questions and provide excellent education on how to properly breastfeed, how to utilize the pump effectively, and how much to feed etc. They help you come up with a feeding plan every time we have met. I would definitely recommend them.

Katelyn Larsen

I have had an excellent experience with Bayou City Breastfeeding!! I am a first time mom who was hesitant about breastfeeding. Ariel has helped me gain confidence and I now love breastfeeding my son! She also helped us identify a tongue and lip tie and recommended a plan of action that made our whole family comfortable and we are seeing major improvements. I cannot recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding enough!

Adriana Martinez

BCBL is extremely helpful and professional. I had the pleasure of working with Megan on a virtual call that was very much needed at the time. She was incredibly sweet and very helpful. She put me at ease when I was struggling and highly stressed. I also had an in-home visit with Ariel. She was also so great at putting our concerns at ease. She provided a wealth of knowledge, a great resource of information and contacts, and was responsive to further questions and making herself available after our visit. We felt more comfortable and confident with her advice. So tremendously grateful for these ladies and hope to continue my journey with them. Highly recommend!

Sheba G

I had my first appointment with Brittany today, and She was so sweet and loving with me and my daughter she took her time to listen to me and care for my baby. She gave me some amazing tips and tricks and made me feel so comfortable to express all my questions. I will definitely be recommending Bayou to all of my friends.

Regan Henderson

Jessica has been a huge blessing in my life since having my first baby and now to have the peace of mind and confidence derived from her support is just truly such a gift! I’m so thankful and looking forward to another successful breastfeeding experience with baby number 2 thanks to her! I couldn’t feel more prepared going into my delivery.

Elysee Hail

I am very thankful for the help I received, it was truly invaluable. Bayou City Breastfeeding made all the difference for us!

Mindie Renteria

Suzanne has been a literal life saver and angel on earth. No matter the obstacle with my breastfeeding journey, she has had a plethora of information and a way to work through it. From latch issues to low weight to ties and low supply, Suzanne is extremely educated and informative and has completely saved my relationship with breastfeeding. She taught me to use my pump, recommended supplements where I needed them and has a resource for whatever your journey requires. There has not been a more supportive and integral person in my support system than Suzanne and I cannot thank her or recommend her enough. Whether you’re a new mom or a 2nd time mom like myself, your time with her is an investment and a wonderful one at that.

Julia F.

I can't recommend this place enough. I met with Suzanne with my newborn son when I was having severe pain with latching. Suzanne was so helpful in helping...

Leah Flanagan

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bayou City Breast Feeding! I dealt with pain latching for the first month of my daughters life and then finally came to see Brandy. My only regret is that I would have come sooner!! She helped me learn how to feed without pain but more than that gave me so much encouragement as a new mom! She is such a gift and has helped me tremendously! We still go see her for well visits and she has helped me navigate going back to work and other questions that I have. I can't recommend Brandy and Bayou City Breastfeeding enough!

Suzzane is also amazing and helping my appointments get coverage through my insurance Blue Cross Blue Shield. They did not want to pay the claims, but she has worked so hard to make sure they are paid.

Book an appointment! You will be so so grateful you did!!

Bee P

Kathy is absolutely wonderful. Very patient and very informative. My daughter has made so much improvement since coming to Bayou City Breastfeeding.

Laqwitha Bluitt

I can not say enough amazing things about Suzanne and her team. I came to see Suzanne at the beginning of my breastfeeding journey, and she has been a help not only with breastfeeding but with being a new mom in general. She is so smart and willing to answer any question openly and honestly. I trust her so much and wish every mom had someone like her in their corner!

Haifa Seyam

I’ve delivered my first baby 3 weeks earlier and she stayed in NICU for few days which makes it difficult to breastfeed her. Later I kept struggling to make her latch and when she did latch I’ve never been able to keep her latched. Also, I was having difficulties with positioning. I seek Bayou City Breastfeeding for help and the amazing LC Kyna got assigned to me. Kyna first taught me how to set and hold the baby for the breastfeeding, and she taught me some mouth and cheeks exercises to train the baby how to latch. In few seconds my baby was able to latch and she refused to let it go 😊 …. Kyna showed me how to use the breast bump correctly and how to choose the right size that will be comfortable and not painful. She also shared some useful resources that will help with the journey of breast feeding. I was very happy after our first session with Kyna. We met again for several follow up sessions and each time she taught me something new. My baby now is 3 months and she cried for the breastfeeding than the bottle feeding. Each time I breastfeed her I wish i can call Kyna to say thank you. Words are not enough Kyna ❤️

Kimberly Gouveia

Brandy Lightfoot!! A woman who honestly cannot be described in a simple Google Review. A 100/5 star human being. Going into the hospital I planned on having a natural birth and breastfeeding (I took the classes & everything) and I left with a precious baby, a Caesarean birth, and my baby on formula (due post opt infection that led to swelling and unable to latch). Brandy came over on our FIRST visit and took a hopeless situation and turned it into magic! We latched and have been breastfeeding ever since that very first time (now 6+ months). Brandy gave me the tools to work with my specific challenges and my babies and helped us create a bond that every woman dreams about having with her baby. Brandy helped me get my supply up, manage my supply, helped me when I traveled (pumping schedule), taught me about bottles, feeding, pumping, etc., and has been the most helpful resource on my motherhood journey. Brandy is a true earth angel and has the kindest heart. She not only helped me breastfeed but she also helped me as a mother and a woman regain my confidence and strength. I owe so much of my journey to this woman! If you are on the fence do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Brandy, you and your baby will thank me, I promise. Good luck on your journey!

CJ Lopez

We wouldn't be breastfeeding today without Jen!! I cannot thank her enough. Come with goals, and she will help you meet them. With decades of experience, if you have a question, she has a wealth of information and help to offer. If you're comparing places or even on the fence about a lactation consultant in general, look no further - and it is worth it!

Claire Logue

If not for BCB, I would have had a very different breastfeeding outcome. Breastfeeding was painful, verging on unbearable, before discovering and reversing my daughter’s oral ties. Because of the ongoing care and attention from Suzanne and other providers at BCB, our breastfeeding journey is still going strong at 14 months. I know we would not be in the same place today if BCB had not taken my goals to heart and made such a Herculean effort to see us be successful. Forever grateful for Suzanne and her team!

Lee Lee

Tessa is an AMAZING consultant. I literally ask her about everything! I rely on her more than I rely on my son's doctor. When I ask the pediatrician a question, I usually get "He's fine", but with Tessa I get explanations and details that help me better understand certain things. Dr. Emily is heaven sent as she helped to loosen my baby. The exercises have been working very well with him and he so flexible now and sleeps so much better. Her patience with babies is wonderful!!

Sarah Boone

Because of Mandy and her team at the magnolia location helping us in the beginning we have made it to ONE YEAR of breastfeeding!!!!! We started out with a tongue tie in the beginning. We got that fixed and had a rough recovery but Mandy and Karen helped my baby and I through it. Once he fully recovered he did so well latching and feeding! I couldn’t have gotten through those rough few weeks without their support. I am so happy to say we made it and am feeling so accomplished and proud to have provided for my child! Thank you thank you Mandy! Could not have done it without you!!!!

Carolyn Carpenter

After a stressful prior lactation meeting with another practice, Katelyn was the breath of fresh air my child & I needed. I came away from that visit with so much information & felt so confident in our breastfeeding & recovery journey. So so thankful for Katelyn & Bayou City Breastfeeding!

Chandni Trivedi

My experience with Bayou city lactation was amazing. Katelyn did an excellent job with me and my baby. The goal that I wanted for me and my baby, she helped me with that. I highly highly recommend this place for all the new mommy out there who are looking for great lactation services, this is the place. Katelyn is highly knowledgeable, she worked with both of us and guide me through the process. I felt like I was talking to someone from my family, they were great great people. Thank you Katelyn for everything. See you 🥰🥰🥰

Jillian Chitrit

Britni was INCREDIBLE. She was incredibly attentive, thorough, and knowledgeable. I left the appointment feeling heard and empowered to execute the plan we had set out to make breastfeeding a better experience for my son and I.

Hussain Hijazi

Suzanne and team have been instrumental in our baby’s breastfeeding journey. Amazing support!

Jackie Alfaro

The best lactation consultant. Lisa is very patient with me and I am learning so much. Try them out. You will not regret it.

Antoinette Dukes

Words can not describe the love we felt from the staff at the kingwood location! Dr Chelsea , Ali, and susane made us feel like family and always advocated for our little Kaleb without question. We highly recommend this team ♥️

Guinn B Shropshire

Bayou city (Mary and Amy) have been such a blessing to me while breastfeeding my third. This time around I was met with clogs and mastitis multiple times. Be able to meet with Mary and have her help and support was a huge help to my mental well being. Being able to send a message when I had a concern and knowing a response would be received in a timely manner helped ease my mind. From checking my pump settings, helping me reduce clogs and ultimately supporting me in making my plan to wean, they have provided me with the support I’ve needed every step of the way! Thank you Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation Consultants!

Courtney McCall Hayek

Karen is AMAZING. Seriously, she has been so incredibly helpful in educating me on breastfeeding as a first time mom! Call them if you need someone to do in home visit with you or an office to go to. I did both and it was great. Highly recommend!

Starr Johnson

Claire was very knowledgeable and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for a better lactation consultant!

The Gores _Vince Kimberly

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.

Kristina C

I am so incredibly thankful for Dana and all of her help with breastfeeding! From literally the very first day out of the hospital, she has been there for us, offering breastfeeding tips and education. Without her guidance and shared knowledge, our breastfeeding journey might not have lasted.

Christina Cacchio

I have used Jessica from Bayou City Breastfeeding now for both of my children. She was instrumental in making sure that we were successful in breastfeeding, allowing me to get off to a good start with my second and to nurse for close to two years with my first. She is responsive and went above and beyond to be available for appointments and questions. I would recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to anyone looking for lactation support!

Xiao Wang

We love Kathy and all her tips and knowledge are very helpful as we manage our newborn.

Jessica Contreras

I exclusively pump with my first baby and when Leo was born I decided I was going to reach out for help to make it work this time. Nicole has been amazing help during my breastfeeding journey this time around. She has been patient, and she has share her knowledge with me which has allow me to be confident. She has help me with latch and positioning and even discover a lip tie which we decided to not release but instead do body work. Nicole has been supportive in our decision and has provided me with tips and tricks to help my baby improve his latch. We have been EBF for 10 weeks now and all because of Nicole and BCB! I am so grateful I found Bayou City Breastfeeding 🤱!

Victoria Stewart

I am so thankful for Donique. When we came to her, we were diagnosed with failure to thrive and so frustrated. We almost gave up our breastfeeding journey. Donique helped us find and treat a tongue and lip tie and nurse through all the obstacles. She gave me so much hope and reassurance. I am incredibly happy we had her to help is.

Karla Suarez

Thank you our baby girl really benefits from her therapies and improves every week with Tessa Gardin, we love her!

Ally Jenkins

I’ve reviewed bayou city breastfeeding before with my first born and it was fantastic. I’m here to write a second review since we used them again for my second baby. I thought everything was going well until week 8 when we started to see bottle refusal and over just general fussiness and not sleeping longer than an hour. We saw Ariel for what we thought was bottle refusal. Ariel listened to a bunch of information we threw at her, patiently let us show her what was happening, and had it figured out in minutes. She identified a tongue tie that another LC and a pediatrician had both missed, referred us to a wonderful dentist and within two weeks, our baby was back and feeding better than before. It’s also important to note Ariel did not push to have the tie released or pressure us into anything. She simply told us what she saw and referred us to several great specialists. We cannot thank Ariel enough for being so incredible at her job. We feel so lucky to have found Bayou City Breastfeeding. Thank you Ariel and team!!

Janice Cooley

I would absolutely recommend working with Kyna! I was unsure what to expect as I was able to feed my baby but we had some issues with gas and over production. Kyna showed me some great tricks and some of the daily exercises have seemed to make a huge difference.

Veronica H Monjaraz

Katelyn did our at home consultation and she was amazing. She reassured us on what we’re doing right and helped me relieve doubts I had with breastfeeding. She answered all our questions. She sends a care plan after the visit with everything we talked about with more resources. She’s very responsive through the app and text. If you’re wondering if you should book a consultation, you will not regret it. This is a great resource to have as a new mom.

Joy L.

I live in The Woodlands so I was disappointed that this was the closest "in network provider" that my insurance would pay 100% of the visit, and I didn't...

Gina Avalone

Dana was great! I feel so much better and more confident as a first time mom after leaving my appointment

Marissa T.

I was so happy with my experience with Tessa. I learned so much more than just about breastfeeding. She taught me about tummy time and all kinds of tips and...

Danni Veldman

I’m so grateful for Bayou City Breastfeeding and the many options they allow for visits! This was our first child, and I wanted to feel best positioned to support a breastfeeding journey. I had a prenatal appointment, which helped me feel more calm for the first days postpartum. My IBCLC followed up in the weeks before my due date to make sure any lingering questions or concerns were addressed, and they were readily available for a home visit a few days after we were discharged home. They’ve always been good about making sure they stay within what’s covered by my insurance, which is always greatly appreciated. So grateful to have this group as a resource, and would highly recommend!

Anas Einea

Great service all around.
The only provider (in my experience) that you can actually contact from your home at almost anytime .

Anna McMullen

It took about a week to get an in person visit, but we were able to get a triage video call appointment within 12 hours of my first contact to address immediate concerns. Kathy at the Houston location was thorough, informative, and very helpful. She was respectful of the goals for our family, and made sure to check in and re-assess those goals at our follow up appointments. Would definitely recommend Kathy and Bayou City to anyone looking for support in feeding their baby!

Danielle Mikeyla

All the ladies here are super nice and helpful. They get you in as soon as possible and if they can’t help you, they find someone who can. They are also super responsive to messages and concerns.

Olivia Taylor

I am so thankful that we were referred here and that we could get the help we needed with breastfeeding! I came at 1 week postpartum and my baby had lost a little too much weight for our pediatrician’s liking so we had to supplement with formula. Upon going to the consultation Amy was able to tell that he has a lip tie and a lot of tension in his body that made nursing more difficult for him and me. She guided us through a nursing session and helped to get a good latch along with a comfortable position for us and then assessed his weight gain. She showed us a better way to bottle feed a breastfed baby and also taught me how to use my pump correctly to increase my supply. I also really loved that she gave us exercises to help relax his mouth and face as well as suggested bodywork to see if his lip tie will correct itself! I would highly recommend any breastfeeding mom to go as soon as you can after birth, and while breastfeeding is hard work it can be made so much easier when you get quality help from an LC! We can’t wait for our follow up visit to see how it is improving!

astrid morales

Kathelyn is amazing. She is explained pretty well and helped me to understand the lactation process in a smooth way.

Dominique Jackson

Ariel was outstanding! She was personable, informative, responsive via all communication channels and reassuring which meant a lot to me as a first time mom. Her personality was so refreshing! After many other appointment types throughout pregnancy at different facilities I can honestly say Ariel here at Bayou City BF is the best of the best. She’s not cold in delivering the info and she made I and my husband feel right at home. She was a breath of fresh air and I and my husband agreed that she felt like a God send and trust me he is NOT an easy sell. I felt a giant weight lift off my shoulders after leaving the appointment knowing that we will figure whatever may come out. 10 out of 10, HIGHLY recommend!

Jessica Romaguera (Jess)

I thought all hope was lost. I wanted to give up so many times. My goal was 1 year. Then I said maybe 3 months. Maybe 6 months. Maybe 9 months. BUT HERE I AM. 1 year later. I have brandy to thank for that. Her knowledge, her patience, her ability to give me a CHOICE. to give me the freedom to make an Informed consent. To be able show me and help me. She was there whenever I needed her. She was kind and patient and believed in me when I didn’t believe in me. When I say you NEED a great lactation consultants to help you in your journey when you’re lost, I cannot emphasize that enough.
Go to brandy.
Go to bayou city breastfeeding. It’ll change everything!

Mushkie Fishman

Ariel was very helpful and extremely supportive throughout the few weeks I was seeing her. She kept my own goals in mind when helping me which I found very validating and non judgmental. I highly recommend!

Jessica Rodriguez

Wow, I can’t thank Bayou city enough for everything they have done for us. it was an amazing feeling finally being able to breast feed my baby during the first visit and learning tips to help me breast feed her at home, not only that but I have learned so much about caring for our baby and helping her after a difficult labor. They gave us exercises to help with releasing tension and improving coordination. Idk where else they would do all this for us! I will definitely keep coming back! I worked with Brandy and Claire they were amazing!!

Staci Long

Britni is AMAZING! She was so personable and professional. She answered all of my questions and gave me a realistic plan moving forward that I’m excited to try. Can’t say enough good things about her and this experience!!

Migena Bahja

I had a great experience with my lactation consultant. She was very sweet and supportive. Their office is very welcoming and clean. My consultant answered all my questions and I felt relieved in the end of the session. I highly recommend their office. I wish I could have gone there sooner.

Caitlyn Jardon

My lactation consultant, Dana, has been a blessing for my family. Having a feeding expert come visit our home who immediately made me feel supported was vital to my breastfeeding success. She has continued to support me and my baby through every change and challenge that has come our way. Bayou City BF is a must for new moms, or even soon to be moms. Your baby will have a doctor and you will have a doctor, but there’s no one who covers you and baby together if you don’t have a lactation consultant. From the day I reached out for a consult, BCB hyper-communicated with me for the cost, insurance, expectations, any questions I could possibly have. I didn’t decide until after baby came home to actually schedule something and they responded to my request for an appointment immediately and I had something booked that same week. I have recommended BCB to all of my friends who are new moms!

Whitney Bennett

Don’t know what I did without them for my first child but so thankful to have found them for my second. Melissa is amazing. Patient, understanding, caring…great with the babies and with mama. Truly a partner with you through various stages of your journey. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Amanda M

This is one of the easiest 5 stars I’ve given! Morgan has been a godsend. She’s worked with us through struggles with bottle feeding and a tongue tie. She’s phenomenal, and I’d recommend her to anyone needing feeding help for their little one.

Brandon Baker

Bayou City Breastfeeding has saved my family twice. After two kids with significant weight loss and tongue ties, we wouldn’t be where we are if not for Suzanne and her team. Just last week after our newborn had lost a concerning amount of weight in just a couple days after birth, Suzanne worked us in for a visit to check on him and then helped to get us in for an urgent visit with the dentist for a tongue tie release. We are so lucky to be enveloped with so much support. Bayou City treats you like family and we wouldn’t have a happy, healthy newborn without them.

Alex Scott

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!

Elsa Rodarte

It’s always worth it. Ariel was very kind to me early on in the online triage. Kathy has come in person twice and she is amazing. She is always extra helpful sharing her vast experience. They’re very professional.

Dee Brown

Great class! Jen provides you with answers that you didn't even know you had questions to. Very informative. Also, real-life examples and simulation practice. We definitely felt more than prepared after taking this class.

Jesika Scott

Love Mandy! Small world, she was my Labor & Delivery nurse for my firstborn. When I made an appointment to see a Lactation Consultant for my second child, I was surprised to see her! It was very special to have her be a part of our lives for both children. Anytime I had questions, she was quick to respond. Very knowledgeable and positive!

Nicole Piowlski

Very personable and took the time to listen. Recommendations were provided and not forced which was nice!

Erica Yang

Thank you Jen for helping me on my breastfeeding journey, with a successful outcome! Thank you Jen for your encouragement when I was down, positive words when I needed them, & following through with our progress. Baby had a tongue tie, and Jen recommended an ENT & followed through for a few months while baby's latch improved & weight came up.
Thank you!! 🙂

christine Murski

Without the guidance of Suzanne and her expertise, I dont think breastfeeding would have lasted long for us at all. She always knows exactly what is needed to get us headed on the best track for success. All the other lactation consultants we have seen here have been pretty great also as well as the chiropractor Dr. Chelsea! I highly recommend taking advantage of their services if you are expecting or have a little one!

Leslie Ramirez

Tiphany was amazing! She helped transform our breastfeeding journey and changed our lives. She was patient with me and I always felt extremely informed by her when it came to anything she was recommending us to do and any extra care (chiropractic/tie revisions/etc). She is professional and relatable. If I have any issues going forward, I will definitely be reaching back out for another follow-up. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Carinna Macias

Suzanne is truly amazing!!!! She is honest and Knowledgeable. My baby suffered from tongue tie and cheek ties. She helped my baby and I through the breastfeeding process. I learned so much from her. She’s a blessing to mothers, parents and babies!

Tiffany Otto

Bayou City Breastfeeding is the best! After struggling with my first, I knew I wanted support from the beginning this time around. Suzanne has supported us throughout the pregnancy, those initial days and now through the process of a tongue tie release. I am so grateful for Suzanne and Bayou City Breastfeeding - I really believe our breastfeeding success has been in large part to the help we’ve received from them!

Meredith Blackburn

Dana has been one of my biggest supporters and encouragers postpartum. She helped me through difficulty pumping, identifying my babies food allergies and helping me adjust his diet accordingly, and most importantly she was always there to listen and give advice. I recommend Dana to everyone I know who has had a baby recently.

Meena Sundaresan

We’ve been working with Suzanne since our baby was a week old. We were struggling with weight gain, and breastfeeding was so incredibly challenging as a first time mom. Suzanne was amazing at determining what issues we were having AND helping us get to the root causes of our issues. I appreciate that she always explains things simply when doing an exam on our baby. Dr. Chelsea is also incredible! Our baby loves getting adjusted and is always so happy after. We’ve learned a lot from Dr. Chelsea and now our baby loves to do his stretches throughout the day.

Mayra Gomez

Mary was amazing! She educated me and gave me so much support.

lauren oliver

Jennifer Robert at Bayou City Breastfeeding has been amazing! I truly do not believe I would have had such a successful/enjoyable breastfeeding experience without her. I’ve seen her since week 1 of my son being born and now I’m 3 months in and doing great/ loving exclusively breastfeeding. Highly recommend!

Kiki Vitello

Tiphany was incredible and informative 👏🏾

Kayla Hlavinka

We took the childbirth prep class last week and were so glad we did! As first time parents, we have definitely been overwhelmed with all the information floating around out there. This class gave us a good high level overview of what to expect leading up to labor, during labor and those first few weeks after birth. Jen was so great at breaking things down for us and answering any specific questions we had! Would highly recommend!

Baylie Collins

I needed guidance on how to navigate breastfeeding my toddler while pregnant and Miranda and Megan did not disappoint! They both helped me form a plan for continuing to bf my toddler while also setting new routines to facilitate night weaning and encourage longer stretches of sleep for the both of us.

Lauren Peek

I saw Suzanne recently and had a wonderful experience! She was honest and open about her practice. The enviroment was very welcoming and I felt heard and unjudged. She is very knowledgeable about lactation and she makes me excited for my breastfeeding journey.

Brooke Wiggins

I am so grateful for Priscilla, from the very beginning she wanted to make sure how I was doing and always there for any support I needed. I worked with her for my sons tongue tie release and BF/feeding support. I am thankful I had her help and also got to work with Mandy and Karen (at the pediatric dentist) for the release. I would also see them in the office and they truly care about all of their patients. Thank you ladies for all of your help!

Eileen Estrada

I saw Jennifer 3 weeks after my baby had her her tongue tie release. Jennifer provided me with so much education on stretches, homeopathic pain relief, overall tongue tie healing, flange sizing for pumping, everything breastfeeding, and supplements good for lactation and hormonal balancing. Her help has been invaluable. She met with us weekly and it is because of Jennifer that my baby had gained range of motion in her tongue even with some reattachment. I highly recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding for anyone looking for lactation support.

Jo Eaton

I first sought out Bayou City Breastfeeding when I developed severe pain after weening my daughter off of shields. I had been told that she had a tongue tie and I actually made an appointment with a dentist to have it released, but a friend recommended that I call Bayou City Breastfeeding first. I hesitantly cancelled our appointment with the dentist and had my first appointment with Suzanne. She immediately knew what was causing the pain (to my surprise, it wasn’t even the tie!) and helped me find relief at our very first visit. Suzanne was so knowledgeable and informative. I knew right away that my husband and I made the right decision by seeing her first. She not only concerned herself with my baby’s weight gain and well-being, but also my own well-being.

She confirmed that my daughter did have a tongue tie and gave my husband and I an incredible amount of support, information, and preparation leading up to the procedure to have the tie released. 4 weeks later, she’s still supporting us and guiding us through the healing process. Knowing what I know now, I truly couldn’t imagine having gone through this without Suzanne (and Tessa and Ally ❤️).

It’s also worth mentioning that they work really hard to make sure they utilize any and all insurance benefits you might have. They have always thoughtfully and efficiently scheduled our appointments to coincide with bodywork, all to maximize our insurance benefits.

The team at Bayou City Breastfeeding is more than lactation consultants. Their expertise and love for what they do shows in every interaction I’ve had. I’m so thankful we found them and couldn’t possibly recommend them more highly!

Rebecca Clifton

Where do I even begin. As a second time mom to a baby with oral ties, I thought I knew what to expect. Before coming to BCB, my son had a severe anterior tongue tie that was revised at 10 days old; at 8 weeks old he was gaining weight very well but I just knew something wasn’t quite right; I was having intense nipple pain from vasospasms that was only tolerable with prescription medication. I saw Suzanne for a second opinion and she instantly identified either an incomplete release or poor healing from the prior revision. I worked with Suzanne and Dr. Chelsea to prepare my son for a second tongue tie and lip tie revision at 3 months old. Although very anxious, Suzanne instilled complete confidence. Two days after his release I could already see drastic improvement in his nursing and my pain; I was able to nurse complete pain free for the first time in 14 weeks. At 1 week post procedure I was able to take my son on a family trip to Italy for a wedding. We’re now 2 weeks post procedure and my son is nursing efficiently and pain free! I am so incredibly thankful for Suzanne and the team of providers she recruited to support me and my son and rescue our breastfeeding journey (including a chiropractor reference in Rome!). I would not have been able to continue breastfeeding without her. We still have work ahead but I have complete confidence we can manage anything.

I highly recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding. Suzanne was fantastic and put a lot of my worries at ease. My breastfeeding journey started off well, but we struggled with a few minor latch issues. The biggest thing I learned was that a one size fits all approach is not the way to go about breastfeeding, and Suzanne gave me so many tools that helped for my own experience and situation. I didn’t know how much there was to know about breastfeeding until I met with Suzanne!

Olivia Johnson

They are the best! Love Suzanne! She’s awesome.

Mary J.

Mary was a great help with my breastfeeding journey. She is amazing with children and very knowledgeable.

My journey was a bumpy one because I didn't have...

Briana Rodriguez

I’ve been working with Suzanne to get my baby back to the breast after being born prematurely. Highly recommend for evidence based lactation assistance!

Erica Turner

10/10 recommend for anyone needing help with their breastfeeding journey! Everyone that I’ve spoken to has been so sweet and helpful throughout the whole process! We’ve been working with Nicole since our 1st visit and she has helped guide me and my baby into a smooth breastfeeding journey!

Wendy Gothard

I had a great experience at Bayou City Breastfeeding at the Jones Rd office. I saw IBCLC Dana. She was absolutely wonderful! She was easy to talk to, nonjudgmental, and and answered all my questions with advice and reasons to back up the advice. I felt heard, seen, and validated, and the appointment did not feel rushed at all. At first I wanted an in-home visit but they didn’t have any available but were able to get me in the office—it was probably good for me to get out of the house honestly! I absolutely recommend ANY nursing mom to see an IBCLC here, even if it’s just for reassurance! 1000% worth it.

Edith Martin

We had a wonderful experience with all the ladies! Ms. Suzanne helped tremendously with all the questions and concerns I had once my baby had his tongue/cheek/lip ties released

Alexandra Keller

Melissa Carrera was a wonderful support system during my breastfeeding journey. My initial goal was 100% breastfeeding; however, my baby had lost over 10% of his weight by his first pediatrician appointment so we immediately started supplementing with formula and pumped milk. I was initially sad and felt guilty that breastfeeding was not working but Melissa reassured me that breastfeeding did not have to be an all or nothing process. I faced several setbacks such as thrush, mastitis, several clogged ducts and Melissa provided me with the tools and emotional support to get through all of those issues when I felt like wanting to quit several times. She answered my messages at odd hours in the night and on weekends. Her presence is extremely calming, nurturing, and supportive. My baby is now 4 months old and I am on a sustainable pumping schedule with the occasional formula supplementation and I could not have done it without Melissa’s support!

Angela Leon

I was originally resistant to schedule time with an external lactation consultant because I thought I had a pretty good grasp with breastfeeding but after a tough day I ended up making the call and I’m very glad I did. I learned so much more from them than I expected to and feel so much more prepared and knowledgeable about how to feed my baby. We covered breastfeeding latching but also lots of info about feeding and weight in general. They also taught me a lot about pumping and helped me discover my babies tongue tie and all the options about how to deal with it. Mandy was very informative and easy to work with and I am very appreciative for what we learned.

Brooke S.

My newborn latched on & began feeding immediately after birth. I know that would not have been possible if I had not worked with a lactation consultant...

Rachel Thompson

I love the care & attention we received here! I finally feel heard and that I have more than just one option to our issues. Thank you BCBF and especially thank YOU to Mary!

Tiffany Prince

My virtual experience with Bayou City breastfeeding went exceptionally well. I received a ton of helpful information as well as recommendations. I highly recommend this company for lactation support.

Travis Nicodemus

As first time parents my fiance and I met with specialist Kaitlyn and the experience was more than worth it. She really helped us with our questions and anxietys when it comes to breast feeding. We had been feeling really discouraged with the pressures of breastfeeding our son but during our session Kaitlyn really gave us alot of affirmation in what we were doing right, and assistance in what we could improve on. even giving us exercises that I as dad can help with to make feedings better for both my fiance and my son. Great value here especially for new parents!

Jordan Guenther

I am eternally grateful for Karen’s patience and support with Nixon and I. This has and continues to be a long road but our progress wouldn’t be anywhere near here without her. Every question and concern is met with patience and sincere guidance and effort to help us reach our goals. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Briana Banks

I met with Jessica for my first lactation consult. She was thorough, patient and gave us great information! Her follow up has been timely and compassionate. Her passion for helping moms achieve a successful breast feeding journey comes across in the care and attention she gives. I’ve been singing her praises to everyone I have talked with. I highly recommend her and Bayou City Breastfeeding - Magnolia!

Samantha Pelkey

Melissa was a godsend. My baby was born a full month early last September. I started seeing Melissa at the end of October after not having any success getting my baby to latch. She worked with not only helping my baby with latching but also with effectively pumping. When I was thinking about giving up on nursing, she let me know she supported me either way. I ultimately kept trying and with her help, I have been successfully nursing since the end of January. I will definitely be going back when I have my next baby.

Molly H

Suzanne is amazing! Very thankful for her and the Bayou City Breastfeeding team for all of their help. Can’t say thank you enough!

Hayley Penney

I've been working with Karen for 5 months now. She has been truly exceptional. She has idea galore, tips and tricks I've never heard (this is my 3rd kiddo) and sage, wise advice. I'm not sure if we would still be breastfeeding without her. She is a gem. I would absolutely recommend Karen and Bayou City Breastfeeding. Without a doubt!!

Menika

I can’t say enough about how much Jen helped me through a really difficult breastfeeding journey as a first time mom. She was an amazing support and resource. I whole heartedly recommend her to anyone needing guidance in their motherhood journey!

Kelsey Imam

I am almost 5 months PP, and I would not still be breastfeeding if not for Bayou City Breastfeeding and my lactation consultant, Tiphany. I highly recommend this practice. Breastfeeding may be natural, but it does not come easy. Tiphany helped me ensure my baby got a good latch from the very beginning which helped ease the pain that necessarily comes with learning to breastfeed. Even after we had a good latch established, she has helped with other issues that have arisen, which has helped me continue breastfeeding when I may otherwise have stopped. She has also been a really helpful source for selecting bottles, pacifiers, and toys for good oral motor development that do not interfere with my baby’s breastfeeding skills. I feel confident that I can breastfeed beyond my original goal of 6 months because of the skills I’ve learned. Highly highly recommend this practice for anyone who wants to breastfeed.

Isabel Ross

I am so thankful for home visits during this time (pandemic). Bayou City Breastfeeding as a company did great as a company to make sure we were safe. Asked us for temperatures prior to letting our LC come into our home. When she arrived she immediately washed her hand and was wearing a mask. I absolutely love Tiphany! She has made herself so available for me and is just such an amazing support.

Erin Bodhaine

Mary was an amazing IBCLC. She spent hours listening, working with us, and consulting different resources to get our 4.5lb emergency C-section baby from his feeding tube, through a tie release procedure to a happy little guy who nursed until he was almost 2. She stayed in touch with us periodically even after we stopped seeing her regularly. Just a few months ago after guiding me through some resources on breastfeeding during IVF for our next pregnancy I sent her the following: Just wanted to report in and thank you for the incredible work you did to save Gavin's breastfeeding journey. It is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received and there are no words to appropriately thank you 🙏 Merry Christmas! 🎄

Amanda Spradlin

My whole experience with BABE was great. It was easy to get an appointment and get help. Jen was so knowledgeable and easy to work with. I’m recommending all my friends who breastfeeding reach out for help with BABE, especially for those early breastfeeding days.

Brenna Clopton

Brandy Lightfoot and Amanda Benetz are angels for breastfeeding support! I was so lost as a first time mom because my gut was telling me my baby’s symptoms with feeds was not normal, but I couldn’t get answers elsewhere because baby’s growth was on track. From my first appointment, I knew I was in the right place and left with so much hope that things could improve. They have been by my side guiding and encouraging me through this journey and continue to go above and beyond in sharing knowledge, troubleshooting issues, and being the kindest souls to lean on each week. I only wish I had started seeing them as soon as baby was born. Can’t recommend them enough and will be forever thankful for the support.

Alexandra Garcia

Kristin is awesome!!!

Cecilia Orta

Super adorable and cozy.

Marisela Arriaga

I don’t think anyone can prep you for the emotional and physical hardships of breastfeeding, especially those early months. But thank god for Bayou City Breastfeeding and for their sweet angel IBCLC Dana!! I was in a lot of pain the first month of breastfeeding. I would switch between pumping and giving my baby a bottle because I just couldn’t handle it anymore. Then I would nurse again but would just sit and cry as I would nurse him, not only because the pain but because I was so close to giving up. So I made my first appointment with them and wasn’t sure what to expect. I am so glad I did because thanks to my appointments with Dana, I’ve continued breastfeeding without pain and my baby is thriving! Dana is very thorough with her appointments and makes sure you and baby are doing as well as possible. She makes sure all your needs and questions are met. She helped me with my latch, stretches for my baby’s tongue tie and ways that I can help him with his reflux. Dana is extremely welcoming, friendly and encouraging! She is your breastfeeding cheerleader that you didn’t realize you needed! Her kind words have made me feel proud of the work I’ve done on my breastfeeding journey. Bayou City Breastfeeding’s office is also very clean, nice and cozy! You can tell they’ve put a lot of thought into making their clients feel comfortable. If you are having any problem with breastfeeding, big or small, I highly recommend making an appointment with Bayou City Breastfeeding (even better if you can request Dana!). It’s totally worth it mama!

Megan Savoie

Breastfeeding wouldn’t have been possible without the help and continued care I received from Tiffany! She also found a tongue tie, that neither the hospital nor the pediatrician detected. Without her support I would not have been able to breast-feed my son

Vanessa

The experience has been amazing. Suzanne, Karen and Tessa are very caring and all the advices have been helpful for the tongue tie issue of my son.

Madeleine MT

Tiphany has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and the booking/pricing process is very straightforward and easy!

Stephanie Houseal

Working with Suzanne has been a great experience. She is very knowledgeable, gives great solutions to problems and always answers questions even outside of appointments. I had a difficult start to my nursing journey but she helped me improve and solidify my nursing relationship with my little one and I’m very thankful for all of her help!

Abigail Bieniawski

Katelyn Kleiber is great!! We had a home visit with her for a preventative consultation. She was great in providing feedback and making us feel comfortable. She was so gentle with my three-week-old and greatly improved my confidence with breastfeeding by offering corrections and education 🙂 Would recommend Katelyn Kleiber again and again!

Grace C.

Rosalba Gutierrez is an amazing lactation consultant. She also takes Aetna insurance, but if you contact her she can refer you to check whether she may be...

Briana K

I had an appt with Katelyn and it was excellent! She gave me a lot of very good information regarding my baby and breastfeeding. It gave me a lot of hope for our breastfeeding journey. I highly recommend!!

Yesenia Whitlow

Katelyn was amazing! She was so helpful and informative regarding all of my questions and concerns.

Monique Seymore

I was fortunate enough to be able to breastfeed my last baby. With that came struggles and a search for guidance. And I found that at Bayou City Breastfeeding. My very first appointment was very personal and comforting. Some may think that being there for an hour is too much but when the appointment is just about you and your baby and how to streamline your breastfeeding journey, that hour has come and gone. I am very glad my doctor recommended them.

Meglyn Masters

Coming here really saved my breastfeeding journey. I could not have done it without Jen and all her knowledge and support. I learned something every time I went, and she was always responsive and encouraging when I sent messages. Thanks to her, baby and I made it to a year of breastfeeding.

Chelsea Hughes

I am so grateful for Karen! She has helped us so much in our breastfeeding journey. From latch issues to low supply, she was able to help us overcome each obstacle and continue working toward our goals. We have learned so much from her and would recommend her to any new mommas looking for breastfeeding & pumping help.

Ginger Segrest-Wormell

Nicola Ferla

Katelyn has been working with me and my daughter for the last several months as we navigate newborn / infant feeding related issues. She made me feel completely comfortable in the sessions, putting me at ease. She is easy to talk with, and I have always felt like I could openly express my concerns and worries without judgement. She has a great depth of knowledge and wisdom, which she shares in practical ways. She is also kind, caring, compassionate, encouraging, and personable. She has been such a blessing for us through this time in our lives. I highly recommend Katelyn at Bayou City Breastfeeding.

Yoandra Rodriguez Morales

Lisa is amazing, she’s very professional. I finished very satisfied with her lactation master consultation

Katherine Clark

Claire is wonderful! She is easy to talk to and works well with my chiropractor, Dr.Jade. She has helped me and my son immensely on our breastfeeding journey.

Lluvia Lara

I love this place.
So greatful for Ms. Nicole, without her I wouldn’t have kept breastfeeding. She’s very knowledgeable, and listens to my concerns to try to get to the root of the problem. I’m thankful I have someone to guide me in this vulnerable stage of life. I also recommend Dr. Emily and the bodywork that’s been so helpful aswell!

Abby Rodriguez

Had a wonderful experience with Amanda today! I felt heard and understood and never any pressure to do something I wasn't comfortable with. The assessment was very thorough and the appointment ended with me feeling more in control. Definitely recommended!

Liz Wall Tims

Suzanne Juel helped me nurse my babies for 10 months and 16 months. She is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and kind. She believes in helping moms be the best moms they can be. She built an incredible community of moms supporting moms in our community.

Claudia Tanner

I’m so grateful to have the support I didn’t even know exists for my baby. Thanks to Tessa and Suzanne (in Kingwood location) I feel I am helping my baby be healthier and happier. From their welcoming spirit to inducing lactation support to assessing my baby’s oral function/development and more to great referrals and support, this momma has felt empowered. God bless this team!

Diana Kiker

I could not possibly recommend them enough. Nicole and the team are incredible and are always available to help when I have questions between visits. The best decision I’ve ever made was to call Bayou City Breastfeeding when my little one was a few days old. We made it to 6 months and are still going strong thanks to Nicole!

Creel Foore

Dana at Bayou City Breastfeeding is the best! My baby girl and I were nursing well until she was around 7 weeks old and things seemed to unravel. I’ve had several appointments with Dana now and each time she is a calming and encouraging voice. Each time I’m learning how I can help make things easier for my child’s nursing journey. I have recommended Dana to other friends of mine who may need a lactation consultant in the future. Dana absolutely saved me in a very difficult time and she’s the reason I didn’t give up on nursing when things were hard! If you need help or encouragement, I highly recommend Dana at Bayou City Breastfeeding. She’s absolutely amazing!

Alexa Youssef Warner

Katelyn Kleiber has been amazing to work with. She’s patient, listens to all my concerns, is great with communication and always available for assistance. I cannot say enough good things and I am truly so thankful I found her as a first time mom. I look forward to continuing to work with her as my newborn continues to grow!

Desiree Brown

Claire is amazing and has really helped me and my baby come along way with under supply and lip/tongue tie.

Helen Mann

I came here to try to induce lactation after we adopted our son. Mandy helped me get a supply going, and also answered my myriad questions about caring for our first baby. We also did bodywork here to address his tension and help with painful latching. Highly recommend coming here for any breastfeeding needs!

Kristi Espinoza

Just had my initial consult with Lisa & she was beyond amazing. She was compassionate, thorough & extremely informative. Very happy with the plan we established and hopeful my breastfeeding experience will be different this time around.

Julie Pugh

My 4 month old and I are extremely grateful for all the information and training we received from a home visit with Tiphany. Thanks to her, we are now on the right path to addressing some serious lip, tongue and buccal ties! In turn my babe will drastically reduce her risks of oral malformations as she develops during her childhood years. And of course improve her ability to take a bottle, which was the original reason for our visit! Thank you Tiphany!!

Lauren Wendes

Jen is amazing! She is so helpful and thorough. She has taught me so much about nursing and increased my confidence each time I see her. I don’t know how I fed 2 babies before without her!!!

Julianne Perkins

Going to this appointment was very eye-opening! It is my first baby and she is eating and gaining weight fine, but I had noticed some signs over the past two weeks that were a little concerning to me and I wanted to learn more. The nurse was super informative, educated me on a ton of things I had never thought about in relation to breastfeeding position, latch, oral exercises, etc. I am definitely glad I went and will be following up soon. These appointments are for anyone and you can learn so much even if you think everything is going well so far!

Carrie Salinas

Suzanne was great! Very knowledgeable, reassuring and took the time to listen to my struggles through my daughter’s tongue and lip ties.
Also Tiffany is the sweetest person! I wouldn’t have been able to schedule or get into an appointment without her. She is such a caring soul! She listened to my fears, reassured me with her knowledge and referred me to Suzanne.
Such a compassionate place! So grateful my daughter was able to be seen and ready to try some of the recommendations.
Thank you!

Jane Stueckemann

I’m so grateful for this team! As a new mama struggling to figure out not only breastfeeding but also how to take care of a baby, they were patient, helpful and knowledgeable. They gave me the confidence I needed. I recommend that all of my new mama friends make an appointment with them!

Elitia Huang

We had such amazing support with the team at Bayou! They helped us with our two babies who had tongue ties and I learned how to do the stretches and nurse them effectively. My babies are healthy and growing so well because of their experience and expertise! Even when we moved to a different state, we still reached out to them and they gave such valuable virtual help! You guys are amazing!

Phoebe Stephenson

Bayou City Breastfeeding, Mary in particular, have been incredible. I called during a time of desperation, with a week old baby and no clue how hard breastfeeding was going to be. Suzanne answered my call on a Friday, listened to me and gave me tips on the phone and set me up with an appointment with Mary the next day. Since then, our breastfeeding journey has made a 180. Mary not only is incredibly compassionate and kind, she is extremely knowledgeable. She made us feel comfortable, informed and empowered. She has become such an integral part of our breastfeeding journey, and I credit so much our success (and sanity) to her. She started as a lactation consultant, but now is a dear friend. They say it takes a village, and I am so glad that Bayou City Breastfeeding is part of ours.

Andrea Bailey

I was extremely happy with the experience I had with Ali with Bayou City Breastfeeding! She came to my home in Montgomery, TX to evaluate my 2 week old baby and me. I was having difficulties with breastfeeding, and Ali was able to identify my baby’s issue almost immediately. She helped us come up with a plan to help with the issue, helped me navigate my breast pump, and gave us tips to make our feeding experience as good as possible. Ali was so sweet and made us feel very comfortable- not to mention, very knowledgeable! The communication from start to finish with all the staff was also great! Highly recommend!

Lauren Wilson

Suzanne is an angel!! She’s very clear, thorough, and patient with each visit. This is my second milky baby & her services just get better & better each time. My husband is even happy to join me on my visits because he learns something new each time. I HIGHLY recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding and Suzanne! 💗

Amanda Schaper

Karen was absolutely wonderful! Without all her help and support I would have quit nursing. My baby had tongue and lip tie, with her guidance we were able to correct that and now we nurse with ease! I can’t thank her enough!

Ana Paula Gitahy

We had regular appointments with Ms. Karen Swan for 6 weeks. She was wonderful! I can't recommend a better place for a lactation consultant in the Katy area!

Britni Gunter

Great session for my baby today! Great bedside manner and baby seemed so relaxed! Can’t wait to come again!

madison vega

Reaching out to Bayou City Breastfeeding was a pivotal moment early on in my breastfeeding journey! I was in so much pain that I was holding back tears every time I fed my baby and remember a point when I started to bleed during a middle of the night feed and thinking to myself “I don’t think I can continue on with this”, even though I wanted to so badly. A few days later I had an appointment with Ariel at BCB and she helped me work on latching the baby properly and identified a tongue and lip tie, which might have forever gone unnoticed if she hadn’t pointed it out as I had never even heard of this before.
She was so helpful, understanding and resourceful. Understanding how to latch the baby properly took time, but that alone helped my pain SO MUCH. Once we were able to see a pediatric dentist to address the ties, everything got so much better and my baby started eating and gaining weight like a champ. I’m 6+ months into breastfeeding and don’t think I would have made it this far if I hadn’t scheduled that first appointment.

I highly recommend Ariel and BCB for addressing any concerns you may have around breastfeeding. It feels so good to have knowledgeable people in your corner supporting you and your baby though this BF journey.

Robinne L.

We were referred to Bayou City Breastfeeding by our baby's chiropractor for possible oral ties. They have walked with us through every step since it was...

Gabriela Flores

Tiphany was the absolute best! She was very knowledgeable and gave great insight/tips. She was very patient, kind, caring and really listened to what you had to say and what your concerns were. She was a true blessing and because of her I was able to continue my breastfeeding journey. I would recommend her to any of my breastfeeding friends!

Ohoyo Grady

Claire is amazing. I am so happy we have decided to go with this clinic. Everyone is friendly & we have met our lactation goals. We saw major improvements within 24 hours. Just wonderful!

Callie Banning

Tiphany at Bayou City Lactation was excellent to work with. If you are wanting to BF I would highly recommend BCL. She hands down saved my BF journey. She identified and addressed my baby’s tongue ties before our pediatrician did. She showed me how to use my pump. She showed me how to make BF more efficient. And she was always available through text with any questions I had. 10/10 recommend. I will use her for any baby I am blessed with in the future! Thank you BCL and Tiphany for all you do to support mothers!

Lauren Freston

Kathy Lenert was absolutely wonderful! It was obvious that she has a ton of knowledge and experience. She was kind and really made me feel like she cared about me and baby. Would recommend her to anyone!

Stephanie Franco

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.

Carla Deyo

Great customer service when it comes to virtual support and office sessions, but needs to improve on fulfilling commitments for in-home sessions. I contacted them months prior to delivery to identify an LC that does in-home visits to prepare for when I got home from the hospital. We further discussed the in-home visit during my initial office consultation and had weekly communications to provide updates on potential delivery timing. The in-home visit was cancelled due to their busy schedule with other customers and unfortunately they wanted me to travel to their office when I got home from the hospital.

atem fontem

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!!

Jennifer Allen

Friendly, knowledgeable and super caring! Love that you are now located in my favorite wellness complex now.<3

Thank you for doing what you do!

Jake Hassell

Kristin is awesome. She helped my wife a lot even in just one visit with the many breastfeeding concerns we have had with our newborn. We highly recommend her and Bayou City Breastfeeding in general. Can't wait for our next visit and for our kiddo to improve in his breastfeeding. God bless y'all.

Jennifer Jagneaux

Erica was FANTASTIC. Like, 5 star service for sure. She was personable, knowledgeable, and just all around wonderful. Will definitely call her again when/if I need help.

The office .... well ... they’re a hot mess. Booked my appointment, removed it from the calendars, booked it again, lost it again, booked it a 3rd time and that finally stuck. Then they asked me to fill out intake paperwork twice. I paid for the home visit, and they tried to run my card a second time because they somehow couldn’t see that the charge had been processed, applied to my account, and a receipt had been auto-emailed to me? Thankfully my bank caught it as a suspicious charge and wouldn’t let them run it a second time more than a week after the first charge was applied and cleared.

Don’t let the train wreck admin situation deter you - again - the visit with Erica was amazing and so very helpful. Just watch the office carefully and make sure you communicate well.

Christine R

My breastfeeding journey would have been over a hundred times by now if it weren’t for Suzanne and Bayou city breastfeeding. The combination of science backed facts and emotional encouragement has given me the ability to make many educated decisions for me and my baby girl. I am so so so grateful this service exists and hope it’ll be more accessible in every branch of pre and post natal healthcare soon.

Samantha Jennings

Working with Suzanne at Bayou City Breastfeeding saved our breastfeeding journey. Suzanne helped to diagnose a tongue and lip tie in our infant daughter and outlined each of the steps needed to correct the ties. We have seen an improvement in latch, transfer of milk, time spent feeding and so much more.
In addition to the ties, Suzanne helped me as mom to get my milk supply back after it dropped drastically due to a poor latch. Suzanne outlined the steps needed for feedings and pumping, suggested supplements and vitamins to ensure I was giving my body the best chance to produce milk and most importantly was a huge emotional support throughout the process.
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience and would recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to any mom who is passionate about their breastfeeding journey.

laiya bankston

Suzanne is the best! The first thing she checked was to see if my son had any restrictions in his mouth that the hospital missed. She found a tongue and lip tie! She showed me how to appropriately position to breast feed and helped gather resources for my son and I. I will be recommending them to everyone!

J. Brown

I had such a great visit & experience with Mary, I am so glad I chose Bayou City! My experience was warm & not rushed, we spent the better of 2 hours together & she really got to know me & my baby. She checked things you’d expect your pedi to check but they don’t always. I’m having low supply issues & thought I had tried everything but Mary still gave me good information & things to try that I haven’t. If you’re considering visiting an LC, do it!!! 10/10 Id recommend Bayou City to anyone breastfeeding!

Karen

I had an amazing experience and relationship with my LC, Dana Gillman. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She helped my son and I with latch/gas issues as well as general maintenance and care for myself to prevent clogs. She was very responsive when I had questions that came up throughout the week in between our appointments. She also was very supportive and encouraging during postpartum and I cannot thank her enough for her kindness.

Caitlin K

Brandy is absolutely amazing. My first breastfeeding experience did not go as planned. This experience has been much better, and much less stressful!

Ashley C

I found Bayou City Breastfeeding about three years ago. Suzanne helped me with my daughter to ensure my desires of breastfeeding my baby were met. She not only showed me techniques to help with her latch, she also recommended certain things I had no idea about that would help my BF journey. I’m so thankful for her help I was able to BF my daughter for 15 months before she (daughter) decided she was ready to be done. I am now back at BCBF with my new baby who has had latching issues and again Suzanne is there to help me with all her knowledge and amazingness! I definitely recommend Bayou City BF!

Ginger W.

Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn't the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos...

Tiffany Nguyen

Wow, I just met with Suzanne Juels today, and I cannot even begin to express how wonderfully educated this woman is. She is truly a blessing and very knowledgeable. She has answered and given so much advice and tips on our journey with our baby and family! She has given me a wealth of information that even after 10yrs of seeing doctors couldn’t answer. She was kind, patient and very informative. I wish more women could have access to this type of service! I look forward to improving my baby’s health and our breastfeeding journey. Thanks so much!

Jessica Tahsuda

Mandy is awesome!! She takes her time and teaches me what I need to know. As a first time mom Im feeling more confident each day on nursing my baby and pumping for her

Samantha Bonner

Absolutely loved the experience! I learned so much and it was so helpful! She's wonderful!

Meghan’s View

I saw basically everyone in the magnolia office because of my scheduling and they’re all incredibly helpful.

I’m a first time mom and my baby had to have a mouth procedure. These ladies. Helped me navigate how to best help her and heal her mouth!

Additionally, I am an over supplier and get frequent clogged milk ducts, they were able to teach me how to work through this!

Sevan Dekmezian

Tiphany is amazing! She is experienced and knowledgeable. I had already been to another lactation consultant, but was struggling to breastfeed. She helped guide me to the right MD for my baby's oral tie release, and adjusted my breastfeeding technique. Literally, life-changing visits for my little one.

Viridiana Torres

So thankful for Suzanne! I wish every mom would have access to someone like her. She has help make a huge difference in my breastfeeding journey and I don’t fear any obstacles or changes that may arise as my little one grows because I know I have Suzanne to guide me. Suzanne is passionate about what she does and she not only cares about your breastfeeding success but she cares about you and your well-being as a postpartum mom.

Meghan Duggan

Kristin was fantastic. She came out to my home, she was totally a calm presence and provided an excellent assessment of my son’s latch, oral anatomy and neck muscles. She gave me exercises to do with Max to work on relaxing his mouth/lips for a more open gape to improve his latch. She gave me new positions to try for a deeper latch and more comfort which drastically reduced if not eliminated my nipple pain. She did weighted feeds so we knew how much Max consumed at each breast. This gave me a lot of confidence. We even talked about pumping and flange sizing and bottle feeding when I return to work. I am looking forward to our follow up appointment in two weeks.

Jessica Anderson

The people at BCB are amazing and I mean honest to goodness life savers. My son quit latching very early on and after trying what felt like everything on my own, I reached out to them for help. I was nervous, exhausted out of my mind and heart broken that I couldn't get him to latch. Kristin immediately treated me like a friend, listened to what I had tried and worked with me week after week to try and remedy the situation. She introduced us to Dr. Tyree who helped treat my son's general overall body tightness which also helped make a world of difference in his disposition. When I decided to turn to exclusively pumping, week after week and month after month, I had their support and encouragement and it made a world of difference in me not giving up. Having them as a resource and a source of encouragement as a first time mom made a huge difference in my experience and I can't recommend them enough. If you're struggling with breastfeeding or are interested if baby chiropractic care can help your child, please don't hesitate to reach out to them for assistance. My son is about to turn 6 months old and is hands down a happier baby than he was the first time we walked into their office and I absolutely believe they helped us get where we are today.

Bayou City Breastfeeding is a lifesaver! I am a second time mom, and was struggling with breastfeeding and didn't realize my baby had a lip/tongue tie....

Varun Zoomout

Highly recommend this place for new parents. Tessa is very helpful and answered all of our questions patiently.

Jannell Meyers

I’m a first time Mother and Susan’s helped with all my breastfeeding anxiety’s. She was very supportive and educated me on all my Lil One’s needs. I’m so glad I chose Bayou City Breastfeeding Consultants!!!

Misti David Smith

Super helpful, very responsive and always there when you’re needing someone! Highly recommend!

Sharee Lopez

I’m a first time mom and don’t really know what I’m doing as far as breastfeeding so I scheduled an appointment just to see what they had to say and after a 2 hour appointment I learned so much. More than I even knew to ask. They cover a lot more than just latching and scheduling and the very basics that I was expecting. I have so much more confidence in my breastfeeding journey and just motherhood as a whole now that I have them by my side

Lacee Nugent

My twins and I got much needed TLC and guidance from our sweet lactation nurse here!

Courtney Kincaid

Learned lots of useful tips that I’ve been able to implement at home!

V Trevino

Tiphany and Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation were such a blessing! They provided incredible support and helped me through the toughest part of my little one and my breastfeeding journey! I would strongly recommend their services to all breastfeeding mamas. This is baby #3 for me and I truly wish I knew about these specialists with my first and second born.

Mallory Cervas

Kristin has been all the things to help me navigate the breast-feeding journey. Empathetic, patient, encouraging, helping me lay out a plan, helping navigate other providers and asking good questions. Highly recommend.

Grace W.

Suzanne has helped me so much during my breastfeeding journey. I had to exclusively pump the first few weeks after birth because my baby wouldn’t latch. Now we are 1 month pp exclusively breastfeeding, and I am so grateful!

Mary J

Mary was a great help with my breastfeeding journey. She is amazing with children and very knowledgeable.

My journey was a bumpy one because I didn’t have the birth plan I wanted and struggled with supply.

Mary tried every path in a methodical way so we knew what worked.

Although we did not get to the point of exclusive breastfeeding I definitely learned a lot and able to give my child as much as I can provide while supplementing with formula.

As a first time mom, we realize quickly that breastfeeding is not that easy for you or baby and learning tips and tricks on positioning and how to get baby nutrition is a learning process.

I am thankful for Bayou for helping me though the process.

I was also able to share what I learned with other moms and will be able to help my daughter one day.

Erica Fusacchia

Suzanne is incredible. I don’t live in the Houston area anymore but I still do virtual consultations because they are THAT good. Highly recommend.

carissa Barrett

Ali is amazing! I can’t express enough how much she has helped me through my breastfeeding journey. I have seen several specialist with Bayou City Breastfeeding and all experience have been wonderful. I give them full credit for the reason I am still breastfeeding at almost 1 year.

Belle Lamb

Second kiddo and a whole new set of obstacles on our journey, Bayou City Breastfeeding has been there with us every step of the way. They have helped us with SNS feeding, pumping, formula feeding, low supply, tongue and lip ties, body work, pediatric chiropractic referrals, everything under the sun that has been thrown at us. We never would have been able to come as far as we have without the support we've received from this team.

Kayla Jones

Dana with Bayou City Breastfeeding is amazing. I had my first consultation today. She was able to answer all of my questions and give me a plan to move forward with to continue my Breastfeeding journey. Highly recommend..

Emily Bitterly

Tiphany is my favorite person on this earth right now. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. 1,000% recommend meeting with her if you are breastfeeding.

Kayla Gary

I am SO thankful to have found Bayou City Breastfeeding!

Dr. Chelsea (bodywork) is absolutely incredible and so gentle with the babies! My daughter LOVES getting adjusted by her and seems very relaxed after each adjustment (even if she came in with a fussy mood). Dr. Chelsea has been able to provide several helpful exercises to do throughout the week as well as suggestions for how to make tummy time more engaging. We are extremely grateful for Dr. Chelsea and the support she has given us! We could not recommend her bodywork services enough!

Kathy (lactation) has been an enormous blessing to us and our breastfeeding journey. She has a wealth of knowledge from her many years of experience in various capacities. She provides so many new ideas and resources to support our breastfeeding goals. It is obvious Kathy loves what she does and loves helping families thrive!

Camila Morali

Amazing support in such a difficult time that’s trying to breastfeed your baby. My consultant was Karen and I have no words to describe the help, patience and knowledge shared.

Araceli Nazar

We needed help with increasing my daughters weight just a bit and Karen was able to help us reach our goals. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend especially for first time moms.

elizabeth craig

I absolutely love the ladies here! They are all so helpful and encouraging. Mary helped me through my daughters tongue tie surgery and was so amazing to work with! 100% recommend coming to see these ladies!

Emily Strohm

I had such a wonderful experience at BCB! My son struggled to breastfeed after birth, but Tiphany was a lifesaver! She got us off to a great start and even helped us incorporate bottles to decrease the chance he would reject a bottle when I had to return to work.

Now my son is 6 months old, thriving and can switch between bottles and breastfeeding.

Elisa Goroztieta

Karen is the best! I wish I would've had her when I had my first baby. She helped tremendously with my baby's latch and even helped me find the flange size so i could pump comfortably. Can't recommend her enough.

Anya R

Our first consultation here was excellent! We had conflicting and confusing advice from the hospital LCs, so we set up with Bayou City Breastfeeding to try to sort out some of our issues. Katelyn was an excellent resource and so kind, friendly, and supportive. We will be returning and recommend anyone looking for support reach out and schedule with them!

Edit to add - I am a first time mom, with ambitions of nursing my 3 week old for at least a year if possible!

Karla

As an exclusive pumper, I had horrible experiences with other lactation consultants. I came here on a recommendation and I don’t regret it!! Our consultant was understanding, informative and a great listener. The communication is easy as well… they have texting and direct messaging.

Carli Dorlynn

Karen was super helpful in giving me tips on how to become better at breastfeeding and bottle feeding my newborn. Our appointment was very thorough, I didn’t feel rushed and I had more than enough opportunity to ask all the questions I needed in order to feel comfortable conquering breastfeeding as a first time mom! I would highly recommend!

Kerstie Clark

Britni was AMAZING! My breasts were so swollen, engorged and tender at our first appointment but less than a week later I felt great! She helped me bring down my oversupply and engorgement and now I feel great! Can’t recommend her enough!

Kristin Turner

Suzanne was awesome, she was very patient and knowledgeable. I left the appointment feeling like I can definitely be successful at nursing premature twins.

Katie Nezat

Suzanne has been immensely helpful for both of my children. I would not have been able to breastfeed my firstborn without her depth of knowledge, patience, and connections to other providers in the greater Houston area and knowledge as to which providers would be most skilled in working with the specific needs we had. She was even able to help us identify some non-breastfeeding medical issues that we were able to address early in my son’s life because of her wide base of knowledge and attentiveness. Beyond breastfeeding, she was also able to help us create a plan for introducing solids that was tailored to helping us avoid the abundant food allergies that are prevalent in our family. I am confident that our children’s health will be better long-term on multiple fronts as a result of the guidance we received from Suzanne.

Hannah Heasley

Very knowledgeable and friendly! Great experience that I think all moms should have access to!

Ana Preciado

I had my visits scheduled with Britni, she was great. She is very knowledgeable and has tact in her interaction with both mom and baby.
She helped me on my first week with my newborn, and then had a follow up visit. The communication through the app and all the information gathered in the visit are shared with you with lots of detail.
Totally recommend this place for anyone needing some help with breastfeeding.

Kayla Gutierrez

Very knowledgeable and personable. I just learned so much from her even after working with a previous lactation consultant.

Jesse Suzanne Strickler

Suzanne is wonderful. I had a lot of trauma related to becoming a mother, a lot of trauma from having to be induced and my son having to spend time in nicu, and a lot of fear of failure as a mom. she empowered me to make decisions, to build a healthy nursing relationship with my son, and continue breastfeeding beyond my minimum goal of a year. I don't think I could have done it without her-no judgment-meet you where you are- attitude and encouragement. My son overcame his tongue tie and gain issues and is a strong, healthy, taller than average, 2 year old.

Deniz B

Had a home visit during COVID...the LC that came was wearing a mask and was disinfecting everything which was a bonus! She corrected my baby’s latch in the first try and it was a game changer! I didn’t realize I wasn’t doing it right! She gave me some exercises to help with my baby’s minor tongue tie which I appreciated vs going straight to the operation route. We are 7 weeks now and things are great! Baby’s latch is strong and she is gaining weight. I was hating breast feeding before...now I’m loving it!

Rebecca Copeland

I cannot recommend this practice enough. I knew about lactation consultants before I had my baby, but didn't book them until after I was struggling in the first few days. My IBCLC took time out of her weekend to meet me on a Saturday and it changed everything. I was a much happier new mom thanks to the coaching, support, and cheerleading I received from Brandi. Thank you Bayou City Breastfeeding!

Chelsy Nichole Slaughter

My husband and I had the best experience with Suzanne! she put alot of my worries at ease. She was super helpful, knowledgeable and very professional. she Made us feel extremely comfortable and had great advice for us and our baby boy to try. HIGHLY recommend, so thankful we found BCB!!!

Lucia H.

I am so grateful I found Bayou City Breastfeeding! My appointments with Suzanne were the most helpful appointments I've ever had. I have learned so much and...

Jennifer Kobernik

I cannot say enough good things about Brandy Lightfoot at Bayou City Breastfeeding. After a very disheartening experience with my first daughter’s tongue tie and my low supply, I saw Brandy during my second pregnancy and after the birth. It’s been a tough journey, but my supply is up to 30+ oz (twice as much as the first time despite another tongue tie!) and we haven’t had to feed formula this time. Brandy’s knowledge and guidance is absolutely impeccable. Seeing four and even six ounces in a bottle from one pumping after enduring literal blood, sweat, and tears to pump less than two past—well, if you’ve been there, you know. I highly recommend that you see Brandy as soon as possible if you are struggling with breastfeeding or low supply.

Danyelle

Ariel was very helpful, patient, and informative! She also gave great recommendations and resources. The session gave me so much hope when I thought there wasn't any hope. I would definitely recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to other families.

Meghan Roche

We’ve been working with Megan to help our little guy (and me) have a better nursing experience. She has been nothing short of wonderful! Megan is very patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She has expertly answered all of our questions, supported us as issues arise, and been instrumental in guiding us through his tongue tie journey. We’re really grateful to have the opportunity to work with her and couldn’t recommend strongly enough. If you’re on the fence about working with a consultant—do it!

Meaghan Schneider

We found Bayou City Breastfeeding through a friends recommendation. We used The Lactation Network website and found that their services were completely covered under our insurance (BCBS).

Kristin, Tessa, Dr. Tyree and the entire team at Bayou City Breastfeeding- Jones road were so supportive and welcoming. They immediately make you feel comfortable and at ease, which is important with something as intimate as breastfeeding. They offer gentle guidance and suggestions without being judgmental or pushy!

They helped set us up with bodywork to address my babies head tilt and they were able to identify his lip and tongue tie! All of the staff were very understanding when I had hesitation about getting my babies ties revised and they continued to patiently provide weekly lactation support and stretches we could do at home.

When we were finally ready to have our lip/tongue tie revision they had a list of providers they recommended. I was thrilled to find an ENT covered by our insurance to do the procedure. By far the best thing was that Bayou City Breastfeeding partnered with our ENT Dr. Liu, so we had a bayou city lactation consultant on their staff present at our procedure!

I cannot recommend these amazing ladies enough! They take great pride in helping Mama’s, babies and families have the best transition from birth possible! After our wonderful experience with Bayou City Breastfeeding-Jones road, I truly believe that every baby can benefit from bodywork and seeing a lactation consultant. These ladies are some of the best in Houston!

M Woyton

I highly recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding! They helped me overcome so many challenges with breastfeeding. I saw them with my first and now with my second.

Jane Stueckemann

I’ve told all of my new mama friends to visit Bayou City Breastfeeding. The consultants are amazing & helped me SO much as a new mom! I was able to meet my breastfeeding goal with their help. They answered all of my questions and always made me feel supported as I figured out my rhythm with my new baby. So grateful!

Khindall Dennis

This place is a dream!! My lactation consultant is Erica!! she’s simply a doll very knowledgeable and patient with me. On the first visit we established goals and how to meet them let alone making sure baby has a great latch!! Between visits I’m able to reach out to Erica for more support via app and that has also became sooooo helpful!! I highly recommend this place let alone I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ERICA if anyone need a lactation consultant.

Autumn Ridings

So far I’m loving Bayou City Breastfeeding! They have made the process so easy, they verified my insurance and informed me my coverage very quickly! I am working with Kyna and she is amazing… I can’t say enough good things about my experience with her and bayou city breastfeeding. I always look forward to my next appointment. They have made my breastfeeding experience so much better even in just two visits!

Mehvish A.

I had a great visit with Katelyn. She helped provide me great information such as the right sizing for the flanges (which made a big difference), she showed me different pumps which allowed me to compare my pump to. She also helped recommend good feeding positions and bottles which helped with my babies hiccups. In one session we gained a lot of value.

Llasmin Interiano

Wow! If you are trying to find a place that will take the time to talk to you and help you with your breastfeeding needs, this is it. My consult was 1 hour 20 min, and our lactation specialist was helpful and had such great information and tips. She helped me latch my baby and gave me great feedback on how to do it, which is what I’m struggling with. She evaluated my baby as well and gave us exercises to do at home to help with the lip and tongue ties. She scheduled a follow up visit to see our progress in the next week. All in all, so grateful to have this resource. Highly recommend it!

And you can text them to communicate! Hello, this is so helpful for parents, instead of waiting on hold for 20 min to make an appointment.

Nat C

Megan was amazing! So helpful. I saw a LC before this session and Megan was actually able to provide a lot more information that was missed by previous LC at another facility. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and goes above and beyond to help.

Asmaa Taha Sabre

If you go to this location, then you definitely need to work with RN Karen. She is simply the best! My family and I are full of appreciation, gratitude, and respect. If it was not for Nurse Karen, we would not have found out my son's tongue and cheek ties. I wish I could have met her earlier, but since we worked with her (my son was 5 months old), we learned a lot from her and our lives greatly improved because of her help and dedication. She is helpful, resourceful, passionate, kind, and nice. I cannot find words to tell you how awesome she is and Bayou City because they hire professional people. I recommend Bayou City and Karen to anyone.

Sarah Kathleen

Tessa is a wealth of information and practical instruction. She provides evidenced based information while encouraging the mother's innate intuition. When 1st met with Tessa for a prenatal visit the week of our baby's due date, which set us up for success. Afterwards, we met with Tessa at 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months (rough estimates). I cannot emphasize how helpful she is, especially as a first time mom & breastfeeder. If you're on the fence, just do it.

whitney troutt

I am a first time mom, so as you can imagine I had a ton of questions related to breastfeeding once I left the hospital. I felt like my little one’s latch was weak and that I wasn’t producing enough milk because of it. That same day I called BCB and spoke to Suzanne over the phone. She was amazing at getting my husband and I set up for in home visits. Not only that, but she scheduled a video call that day so she could assist me in the meantime. We were able to establish a strong latch so that my baby could get nutrition before our in home visit. Fast forward a few days and Tiphany came over. She is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She gave us some exercises to do with our baby and showed me several techniques to secure a good latch. I feel so much better knowing that my baby is getting what she needs thanks to BCB! Y’all rock!

Heather Lee

Ali was my lactation specialist and from the first consult she gave me so much peace of mind and feed back in my BFing journey. And any questions I had even after she stayed in touch and helped me through.
I would recommend her to any mom who is considering breastfeeding and needing someone who is like your best friend to walk you through.
Thank you Ali and BCB!

Rachel Mancilla

I am so grateful for Nicole and all of her guidance, validation and direction! She is such an asset to the LC community with her knowledge & expertise! Breastfeeding is such an emotional journey and I’m glad to have found Bayou City Breastfeeding to have put me on the right track! Having 1-on-1 guidance outside of the hospital was extremely important to me for numerous reasons. The appointments are 100% worth the time, energy, and effort to get any momma dedicated to her feeding journey!

Sapphire Noel

Suzanne is heaven set. I can’t thank her enough

Sarah S

My IBCLC helped me and my baby persevere with breastfeeding as we waited for his frenectomy. She’s worked with us through all the difficulties and encouraged me when I’ve wanted to give up. I would not have continued breastfeeding if it weren’t for the support and care my baby and I received from Bayou City Breastfeeding.

Carina Perez

Megan was awesome!!!! She was super sweet and answered all the doubts I had at this time! I highly recommend her!!

Jacklyn Leon

Time spent with Mary was time well spent. She helped ease my anxieties and gave good guidance to get my baby and I on the right track for breastfeeding success. Scheduling with her was always easy, the office staff was most helpful. I highly recommend!

Lauren Bahr

I met with Claire after having issues with aggressive letdown and oversupply that was causing painful feedings for baby and I. She helped with the letdown and supply, while also teaching me more comfortable positions and aids to help with better feedings all around. I’m incredibly thankful to have found Claire and Bayou City Breastfeeding and will continue our feeding journey with them happily!
