Brandy is fantastic! She really listened to my concerns and helped me to setup for success for breastfeeding and pumping when I go back to work. She even helped fit me for the correct sized phalange for the pump and tested it in office to be sure. I definitely recommend for anyone wanting to breastfeed

This place is a dream!! My lactation consultant is Erica!! she’s simply a doll very knowledgeable and patient with me. On the first visit we established goals and how to meet them let alone making sure baby has a great latch!! Between visits I’m able to reach out to Erica for more support via app and that has also became sooooo helpful!! I highly recommend this place let alone I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ERICA if anyone need a lactation consultant.
I had my visits scheduled with Britni, she was great. She is very knowledgeable and has tact in her interaction with both mom and baby.
She helped me on my first week with my newborn, and then had a follow up visit. The communication through the app and all the information gathered in the visit are shared with you with lots of detail.
Totally recommend this place for anyone needing some help with breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to support you in your breastfeeding journey!

Tessa is an AMAZING consultant. I literally ask her about everything! I rely on her more than I rely on my son's doctor. When I ask the pediatrician a question, I usually get "He's fine", but with Tessa I get explanations and details that help me better understand certain things. Dr. Emily is heaven sent as she helped to loosen my baby. The exercises have been working very well with him and he so flexible now and sleeps so much better. Her patience with babies is wonderful!!
Response from the owner:Hello Lee! Thank you so much for your glowing review! It is so wonderful to hear that Tessa and Bayou City Breastfeeding far exceeded your expectations. It is our mission to pass on our knowledge on to our clients, so they have all the tools they need to take care of their babies.

Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Warmly, Bayou City Breastfeeding
My experience with Kristen here at BCB has been amazing! I felt alone in this process at the beginning but Kristen has made my journey much better; an expert and friend. My experience has eliminated any stress I had about breastfeeding/pumping and my journey back to work after my short leave. The education level I have gained from my appointments has made me a successful and happy breastfeeding mom. I cannot say enough good things about BCB! I would highly recommended them for your prenatal and postnatal needs.

Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
I can not say enough amazing things about Suzanne and her team. I came to see Suzanne at the beginning of my breastfeeding journey, and she has been a help not only with breastfeeding but with being a new mom in general. She is so smart and willing to answer any question openly and honestly. I trust her so much and wish every mom had someone like her in their corner!

I am so thankful that we were referred here and that we could get the help we needed with breastfeeding! I came at 1 week postpartum and my baby had lost a little too much weight for our pediatrician’s liking so we had to supplement with formula. Upon going to the consultation Amy was able to tell that he has a lip tie and a lot of tension in his body that made nursing more difficult for him and me. She guided us through a nursing session and helped to get a good latch along with a comfortable position for us and then assessed his weight gain. She showed us a better way to bottle feed a breastfed baby and also taught me how to use my pump correctly to increase my supply. I also really loved that she gave us exercises to help relax his mouth and face as well as suggested bodywork to see if his lip tie will correct itself! I would highly recommend any breastfeeding mom to go as soon as you can after birth, and while breastfeeding is hard work it can be made so much easier when you get quality help from an LC! We can’t wait for our follow up visit to see how it is improving!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
I met with Claire after having issues with aggressive letdown and oversupply that was causing painful feedings for baby and I. She helped with the letdown and supply, while also teaching me more comfortable positions and aids to help with better feedings all around. I’m incredibly thankful to have found Claire and Bayou City Breastfeeding and will continue our feeding journey with them happily!
Response from the owner:Hi Lauren, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words with us. Your words will surely help others experiencing a similar situation with letdown and oversupply. We are so happy that Claire was able to provide you the encouragement and help necessary to continue your breastfeeding journey. Please let us know if there is any additional guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
I'm grateful I was able to get an appointment so quickly. Tiffany was great! I am no longer in pain, and I learned so many HELPFUL things! I wish I would have made an appointment with her 2 months ago. Thank you Tiffany.
