I have had a great experience with Bayou City Breastfeeding. They really made scheduling the appointment convenient and offered me a triage visit to provide guidance as I wanted for the appointment. When I met with my consultant Katelyn she was very supportive and understanding. I appreciated that she focused on my mental health just as much as my baby’s welllbeing. I now feel more confident breastfeeding my baby when previously I was almost ready to quit.
Response from the owner:Hi Yiressy,

I could not possibly recommend them enough. Nicole and the team are incredible and are always available to help when I have questions between visits. The best decision I’ve ever made was to call Bayou City Breastfeeding when my little one was a few days old. We made it to 6 months and are still going strong thanks to Nicole!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the review! And congratulations on achieving 6 months of breastfeeding! You have a very lucky baby! ❤️
I absolutely love the ladies here! They are all so helpful and encouraging. Mary helped me through my daughters tongue tie surgery and was so amazing to work with! 100% recommend coming to see these ladies!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!
Mandy is awesome!! She takes her time and teaches me what I need to know. As a first time mom Im feeling more confident each day on nursing my baby and pumping for her
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Working with Suzanne has been a great experience. She is very knowledgeable, gives great solutions to problems and always answers questions even outside of appointments. I had a difficult start to my nursing journey but she helped me improve and solidify my nursing relationship with my little one and I’m very thankful for all of her help!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Jessica has been a huge blessing in my life since having my first baby and now to have the peace of mind and confidence derived from her support is just truly such a gift! I’m so thankful and looking forward to another successful breastfeeding experience with baby number 2 thanks to her! I couldn’t feel more prepared going into my delivery.
Response from the owner:Hi Regan,
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! We think Jessica is a blessing too and are so pleased that she was the perfect IBCLC for you.
Being a new parent can be overwhelming. We are so glad that Jessica was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. We are also looking forward to helping with baby #2!

Suzanne is an angel!! She’s very clear, thorough, and patient with each visit. This is my second milky baby & her services just get better & better each time. My husband is even happy to join me on my visits because he learns something new each time. I HIGHLY recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding and Suzanne! 💗
Bayou City Breastfeeding has saved my family twice. After two kids with significant weight loss and tongue ties, we wouldn’t be where we are if not for Suzanne and her team. Just last week after our newborn had lost a concerning amount of weight in just a couple days after birth, Suzanne worked us in for a visit to check on him and then helped to get us in for an urgent visit with the dentist for a tongue tie release. We are so lucky to be enveloped with so much support. Bayou City treats you like family and we wouldn’t have a happy, healthy newborn without them.
Response from the owner:Brandon,

We really appreciate you sharing your positive experience and kind words with us!!!

We feel honored that your family has placed its trust in Bayou City Breastfeeding, not once, but twice! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your support team.

Kathy has been such a great resource for us a first time parents and learning the ins and outs of breastfeeding. She handles our sweet baby girl with such care, and we look forward to our appointments with her.
Response from the owner:Hi Denae!
Thank you so much for sharing this. It means the world to us to hear how supported you’ve felt during such a special (and sometimes overwhelming) season as first‑time parents. Kathy pours her heart into caring for every family she meets, and knowing that you trust her with your sweet baby girl is truly touching. We’re so grateful to be part of your breastfeeding journey and look forward to many more visits with your growing little one.

With love and latches,
The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team
Suzanne has been immensely helpful for both of my children. I would not have been able to breastfeed my firstborn without her depth of knowledge, patience, and connections to other providers in the greater Houston area and knowledge as to which providers would be most skilled in working with the specific needs we had. She was even able to help us identify some non-breastfeeding medical issues that we were able to address early in my son’s life because of her wide base of knowledge and attentiveness. Beyond breastfeeding, she was also able to help us create a plan for introducing solids that was tailored to helping us avoid the abundant food allergies that are prevalent in our family. I am confident that our children’s health will be better long-term on multiple fronts as a result of the guidance we received from Suzanne.
