Tiphany was the absolute best! She was very knowledgeable and gave great insight/tips. She was very patient, kind, caring and really listened to what you had to say and what your concerns were. She was a true blessing and because of her I was able to continue my breastfeeding journey. I would recommend her to any of my breastfeeding friends!
Response from the owner:Hi Gabriela! Thank you for your glowing recommendation!!!! 😊 It is wonderful to hear that Tiphany was able to provide you the encouragement and hope you needed to continue your breastfeeding journey. 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
We found Bayou City Breastfeeding through a friends recommendation. We used The Lactation Network website and found that their services were completely covered under our insurance (BCBS).

Kristin, Tessa, Dr. Tyree and the entire team at Bayou City Breastfeeding- Jones road were so supportive and welcoming. They immediately make you feel comfortable and at ease, which is important with something as intimate as breastfeeding. They offer gentle guidance and suggestions without being judgmental or pushy!

They helped set us up with bodywork to address my babies head tilt and they were able to identify his lip and tongue tie! All of the staff were very understanding when I had hesitation about getting my babies ties revised and they continued to patiently provide weekly lactation support and stretches we could do at home.

When we were finally ready to have our lip/tongue tie revision they had a list of providers they recommended. I was thrilled to find an ENT covered by our insurance to do the procedure. By far the best thing was that Bayou City Breastfeeding partnered with our ENT Dr. Liu, so we had a bayou city lactation consultant on their staff present at our procedure!

I cannot recommend these amazing ladies enough! They take great pride in helping Mama’s, babies and families have the best transition from birth possible! After our wonderful experience with Bayou City Breastfeeding-Jones road, I truly believe that every baby can benefit from bodywork and seeing a lactation consultant. These ladies are some of the best in Houston!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy to be a part of your journey! ❤️
Tiphany was absolutely wonderful today. She is so knowledgeable in all things breastfeeding and helped me and my little guy tremendously. I lost faith in the lactation consultants at the hospital where I delivered and Tiphany completely changed my mind. It is apparent when talking to her that she knows her stuff and truly has a passion for her job. I highly, highly recommend her and Bayou City Breastfeeding!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Just had my initial consult with Lisa & she was beyond amazing. She was compassionate, thorough & extremely informative. Very happy with the plan we established and hopeful my breastfeeding experience will be different this time around.
Response from the owner:Hi Kristi! Thank you for your review!!! We are so happy that Lisa and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to provide you the encouragement and resources you needed to start you on your breastfeeding journey. 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 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
Second kiddo and a whole new set of obstacles on our journey, Bayou City Breastfeeding has been there with us every step of the way. They have helped us with SNS feeding, pumping, formula feeding, low supply, tongue and lip ties, body work, pediatric chiropractic referrals, everything under the sun that has been thrown at us. We never would have been able to come as far as we have without the support we've received from this team.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Kathy is absolutely wonderful. Very patient and very informative. My daughter has made so much improvement since coming to Bayou City Breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Hello Bee, We greatly appreciate your review!!!! 😊 We are so happy that Kathy was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools necessary to stay on your breastfeeding journey. 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
Nicole was an amazing help to me as a first time mom! I was able to get a house call scheduled super quick, highly recommend BCB!
Suzanne is incredible. I don’t live in the Houston area anymore but I still do virtual consultations because they are THAT good. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the sweet review -- made my day!
