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.

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.

Miranda saved my breastfeeding journey. She is amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone! She helped me navigate my son’s tongue and lip ties and gave me a clear plan to follow. I have been successfully breastfeeding for 6 months now and could not have done it without her help.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

we could never be more thankful for tiphany! she was able to after 3 different other lactation consultants and two pediatricians confirm my daughter had all 4 ties in her mouth. she not only helped with stretches, encouraged me when she was bottle refusing for 2 months, found a bottle she would take, and lastly became someone i’m
forever thankful for on our journey! i couldn’t recommend her enough and don’t wait to book her. once you notice a problem immediately go in. it’s better to find out earlier than later. my daughter is so thankful for her journey with her.

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!
