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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! So happy to be a part of your support team and you are a ROCKSTAR!
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.

We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
My LC is Amanda and we’ve been seeing her for roughly a month now. She is such a valuable LC and is patient, kind, and proactive. She goes the lengths to make sure each of her patients are experiencing better outcomes and that they are comfortable with solutions provided for specific pain points. I’m grateful to have a LC that goes beyond the 9-5 mindset and truly cares about her clients.
Response from the owner:Madison, thank you so much for your beautiful review! We’re incredibly grateful for your kind words and for the trust you’ve placed in Amanda and our team. It means so much to hear that Amanda’s compassion, patience, and dedication have made a meaningful impact in your journey.

They are very experience with a lot of knowledge. Glad I had the visits with them.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Marija, for your kind words and wonderful review! We're so glad you found your visits helpful and that our experience and knowledge made a difference for you and your little one. Supporting families like yours is truly at the heart of what we do at Bayou City Breastfeeding. Wishing you continued success on your breastfeeding journey!
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!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing review. We are so grateful for your kind words. We am so glad that our COVID-19 safety procedures made you feel safe enough to welcome us into you home. And we are also happy to hear that we were able to provide you with referrals to address the issues that were identified in your visit.
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!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. We think Karen is amazing too, and are so happy to have her on our team.
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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your journey!
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!
Response from the owner:Hi CJ!!! 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. 😊 We are so happy that Jennifer was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools necessary to meet your breastfeeding goals. 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
Katelyn is so sweet! This was my second time working with her. She identified our issues quickly and got us on the right track with some easy home excercises. Ultimately we made the choice to revise a tongue tie but we couldn't have done it without her support.
Response from the owner:Hi Faith Ann, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Being a new mother can be overwhelming. We are so glad that Katelyn was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. Please reach out if there is any additional help Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
I cannot express how much I’ve enjoyed my experience here! I’ve worked with both Karen and Mandy, and they have both helped me as a new mom. I’m not sure I wouldn’t gotten through the first few months without them! 10/10 recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Avery! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with Bayou City Breastfeeding has been so positive. Karen and Mandy will be delighted to know how much their support meant to you during those early months. Helping new moms feel confident and supported is exactly why we do what we do! We truly appreciate your recommendation and are honored to be part of your journey. 💜
