As an exclusive pumper, I had horrible experiences with other lactation consultants. I came here on a recommendation and I don’t regret it!! Our consultant was understanding, informative and a great listener. The communication is easy as well… they have texting and direct messaging.
Response from the owner:Hi Karla! We greatly appreciate your recommendation! 😊 It’s wonderful to hear how the services and care provided by Bayou City Breastfeeding surpass those of other lactation consulting groups. Please keep spreading the word!!! Also, 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
Went from my baby boy NOT being able to latch (exclusively pumping), to using a nipple shield, to direct breastfeeding and the whole process was under the guidance of Tessa. I cannot recommend bayou city breastfeeding enough! It’s been an amazing experience. All my visits were relaxing and impactful. All my questions were answered- Tessa and the other ibclc’s are too knowledgeable for their own good 🤣. Any mama looking for assistance in their breastfeeding journey should look no further!!
Response from the owner:Hi Atem! Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience and kind words with us!!! Moving from exclusive pumping to breastfeeding at the breast is quite a feat! Congratulations on your dedication and determination! We feel honored that you placed your trust in Tessa and Bayou City Breastfeeding during your challenging breastfeeding journey. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your support team. Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you!

We were referred to Bayou City Breastfeeding by our baby's chiropractor for possible oral ties. They have walked with us through every step since it was...
Kathelyn is amazing. She is explained pretty well and helped me to understand the lactation process in a smooth way.
Response from the owner:Hi Astrid! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words with us. We are thrilled to hear how much Katelyn and Bayou City Breastfeeding have been able to help you and your little one.

I cannot express how wonderful of an experience I had with Bayou City Breastfeeding and my lactation consultant, Mary. I met with Mary prior to having my daughter and met with her regularly over the first 4 months since she was born. We tackled together a tongue and lip tie prior to and post-surgery, along with latching and supply issues. Mary is kind and always made me feel extremely comfortable at our visits. She spent so much time with us asking all the necessary questions, showing and suggesting different techniques to use and seeing how much my daughter was being fed. We miss seeing her and thank her so much for all of the help she provided to us.
Response from the owner:Hi Bridget, Thank you so much for your glowing review!!!! We are so glad that you had such a positive experience. We feel honored that your family placed its trust in Bayou City Breastfeeding. It was an honor to be part of your support team. 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
Top of the line lactation care for those who will spare no expense for their little one. Kristin was so caring and thoughtful as well as patient with us as new firsttime parents! My consultation really helped put my mind at ease in the early weeks, if even just to have someone to talk to and validate my concerns! If you’re on the fence about seeing an LC, don’t be—your baby will thank you (in coos and gurgles) and your mind will be so much more at ease. It’s worth the few hundred dollars to have them come to your home. Max thanks you, Kristin!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Erika, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Kristin provided you with top-notch care and put your mind at ease during those crucial early weeks. Your kind words about her patience, thoughtfulness, and support mean the world to us. We’re so glad that you and Max had such a positive experience, and we truly appreciate you recommending our services to other new parents. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re here to support you every step of the way on your breastfeeding journey. All the best to you and Max from all of us at Bayou City Breastfeeding! 💖👶🍼
