Kathy is absolutely wonderful. Very patient and very informative. My daughter has made so much improvement since coming to Bayou City Breastfeeding.

First, Bayou City is great! I reached out via text on a Sunday and they responded and got me set up with an appointment the next day. Karen has been our saving grace. She has taken my very complicated case and gone above and beyond to help me find answers. If she didn’t know something she went to great lengths to find someone who did. Without her I wouldn’t be as far as I am now. This is my first birth, and she genuinely has helped me with being the best mama to my baby I can be. I think seeing someone like Karen should be a recommendation for any mom-not just those who need assistance in lactating.

My lactation consultant, Dana, has been a blessing for my family. Having a feeding expert come visit our home who immediately made me feel supported was vital to my breastfeeding success. She has continued to support me and my baby through every change and challenge that has come our way. Bayou City BF is a must for new moms, or even soon to be moms. Your baby will have a doctor and you will have a doctor, but there’s no one who covers you and baby together if you don’t have a lactation consultant. From the day I reached out for a consult, BCB hyper-communicated with me for the cost, insurance, expectations, any questions I could possibly have. I didn’t decide until after baby came home to actually schedule something and they responded to my request for an appointment immediately and I had something booked that same week. I have recommended BCB to all of my friends who are new moms!

So grateful for Bayou city BF and especially Tiphany! My BF experience was incredibly positive, thanks in large part to the support and guidance she provided! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and encouraged me every step of the way, which has led to me BF for almost a year so far. Will take all my babies to her!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND | CONVENIENT LOCATION | KIND | SPECIFIC 1:1 CARE - Fabulous experience with Tania at BCBLC. We’ve had two appointments and the first one alone was worth every minute. Our breastfeeding experience has greatly improved from just 90 minutes of her careful evaluation and corrective suggestions. I’m a first time mom and in hindsight I realized the lactation consultants in our delivering hospital were solely focused on providing their favorite tips and tricks for common issues and never took the time to evaluate how my son and I were breastfeeding in the first place to identify what our specific problems were. Tania took one look at us and immediately adjusted our position, my hold, and soon after identified my son needed help with his muscle strength. Truly a night and day experience between the hospital and this 1:1 lactation consultation. Weighted feeds have helped us confirm how effectively he’s drawing from the breast and soothed this mama’s heart that he’s not starving, the follow up appointment showed an improvement in his intake volume as well which confirms her suggestions are working. At our first appointment she evaluated his mouth and tongue strength and reviewed how his frenotomy was healing and prescribed an exercise to ensure it grows back well, something I didn’t necessarily expect in the context of a lactation consultation but was happy to receive. We also covered simple things like accessing my flange size and addressing a pumping schedule to up my supply. Through all of this Tania was incredibly kind and gentle in her delivery — nothing was ever presented as unfixable or a failure on our part, and for that some of my anxiety was eased. Not only has all of the information, suggestions, and prescribed exercises made a difference in just a week but the follow up appointment has been just as helpful. We’ll be back again for a third appointment to ensure his neck and mouth exercises are proving to be effective with more time but I can honestly say that in 2 appointments I feel SO MUCH BETTER about our breastfeeding journey. If insurance doesn’t cover your visits I’d say even one appointment (or two if you can swing it) would absolutely be worth the money.
