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.

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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with Dana, Karen! We're thrilled to hear that Dana was able to provide such exceptional support and care for you and your son. Your kind words about her responsiveness, knowledge, and encouragement during postpartum mean the world to us. We're delighted that Dana made such a positive impact on your breastfeeding journey. If there's anything more we can do for you, please don't hesitate to reach out. 🌸😊
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!
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation!!! It is our mission to reduce as much stress as possible for our clients and to provide them with all the tools necessary to have a successful breastfeeding journey. We are so pleased that you benefitted from all three of our appointment options, virtual, in office and, in home and that your IBCLC, Megan, was so responsive to your online questions. Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you! Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
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.
Response from the owner:Hi Angela, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and kind words with us. Making the commitment to breastfeed can be a challenge. Kudos for sticking with it! We are so glad that Mandy was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding

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 🤱!
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.
Response from the owner:Hi Mariana! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words with us. We are thrilled to hear how much Bayou City Breastfeeding has been able to help you and your little one during your second breastfeeding journey. Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are so glad to have you in the BCB family! All the best, Team Bayou City Breastfeeding
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!

We feel honored that your family has placed its trust in Jessica and Bayou City Breastfeeding, not once, but twice! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your support team. Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
