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 🥰🥰🥰

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!
Response from the owner:Callie, Your kind words truly warm our hearts! It means so much to hear how Tiphany’s care made such a powerful impact on your breastfeeding journey. From early assessments to everyday support, she's dedicated to walking alongside every mom with knowledge and compassion. We’re so grateful you chose Bayou City Breastfeeding —here’s to many more beautiful beginnings! 💕👶✨
Very personable and took the time to listen. Recommendations were provided and not forced which was nice!

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!
Response from the owner:Hi Marisela, Thank you for your review!!!! 😊 We are sure that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊 There are certainly others who are facing the similar issues with latching, tongue tie and painful breastfeeding. We are so happy that Dana was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement, support and help needed to continue your breastfeeding journey. Just remember you did ALL the hard work to ensure that your baby thrived!!! You are the superhero and should be proud of yourself!!!! 😊 Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you!

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...
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.

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!
Response from the owner:Hi Jesika! It definitely is a small world! Mandy was meant to play a role in the lives of both of your babies. 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and kind words with us.
