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.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
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!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your glowing recommendation! But you are the one that did all the hard work!!!

It’s wonderful to hear that you and your family benefitted from Bayou City Breastfeeding’s lactation and bodywork services.

We are so glad that Tiphany was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to guide you through the challenges of breastfeeding a baby with tongue, lip and cheek ties. It was truly an honor and a privilege to be able to assist you in this journey.
If there is anything else we can do to help you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are always here for you!
Warmly,
Bayou City Breastfeeding
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.
Response from the owner:We are so glad you found your visit to be helpful and we look forward to supporting you on your feeding journey!
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!

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!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review and we are so happy that things are going better for you now!
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.

Hi Kimberly,

Your words are too kind!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us and for your encouragement to other working mothers. We are thrilled to hear how much Katelyn and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you and your family.

Being a working mom with a baby that is still breastfeeding can be challenging. Adding travel to your return-to-work routine while also breastfeeding, just proves your commitment to your baby’s health. We are so happy that Katelyn was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the tools and guidance necessary to stay on your breastfeeding journey.

You should be very proud of breastfeeding past the 6-month point!!! That’s quite a feat for a working mom!!! 😊

Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide.
Kristin is awesome!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Alexandra!

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.
Response from the owner:Hi Victoria,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are thrilled to hear that Donique and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you and your family. We understand that having a baby that isn’t thriving can be scary, and we’re glad that Donique was the perfect IBCLC for you.
Congratulations on sticking with breastfeeding! You did all the hard work to ensure the health of your baby. 😊

Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide.
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!
Response from the owner:Hi Kayla,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that our childbirth prep class provided you with the clarity and confidence you needed as first-time parents. It's great to know that Jen was able to break things down effectively and address all your questions. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're so glad we could be a part of your journey into parenthood. Wishing you all the best in the exciting weeks ahead! 🌟👶💖
