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.

Melissa was a godsend. My baby was born a full month early last September. I started seeing Melissa at the end of October after not having any success getting my baby to latch. She worked with not only helping my baby with latching but also with effectively pumping. When I was thinking about giving up on nursing, she let me know she supported me either way. I ultimately kept trying and with her help, I have been successfully nursing since the end of January. I will definitely be going back when I have my next baby.
Response from the owner:Hi Samantha,

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that Melissa was able to provide the support and guidance you needed during such a crucial time. Your journey, from the challenges of a premature birth to successfully nursing by the end of January, is truly inspiring. Melissa's dedication to helping you with both latching and pumping, and her unwavering support, clearly made a significant difference.

We're so glad to know that you felt supported in your decision-making process and that Melissa's expertise helped you continue nursing. Your kind words will surely encourage other new mothers who might be facing similar challenges.

We look forward to welcoming you back when you have your next baby. Thank you for choosing Alamo City Breastfeeding!

Erica at the Katy location was super helpful! I almost exclusively pump, so I wanted to make sure I was doing all I could to have a good supply. She...

Bayou City Breastfeeding is fabulous. They are great at scheduling quickly and efficiently. Kathy was such a blessing and joy to work with, and I really appreciated all of the follow up material she sent after our sessions. Tessa is magical and we were so impressed with the Bodywork sessions my son had with her. Kathy and Tessa were able to help us with the decision to have our son's lip and tongue tie corrected, as well as prep him beforehand and ensure we did everything we needed to after it. I'm so grateful to have found BCBF!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!

Britni was AMAZING! My breasts were so swollen, engorged and tender at our first appointment but less than a week later I felt great! She helped me bring down my oversupply and engorgement and now I feel great! Can’t recommend her enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!

What an amazing experience! Kristen was my consultant and provided the knowledge and support for me as a first time mom who struggled with latching. She helped me build a plan to exclusively pump and eventually my sweet baby girl learned to nurse as well. We also worked with Dr. Lyndsey having some body work done to help my baby with discomfort she was having. Over all I was so happy I chose Bayou City breastfeeding and will recommend to any family or friends looking to start a family and wanting to breastfeed.
Response from the owner:Brenna,

We’re also so glad Dr. Lyndsey’s Bodywork brought comfort and support to your little one.

Your words reflect the heart of what we strive for—empowering families with knowledge, compassion, and personalized care.

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! ❤️

Brandy Lightfoot at Bayou City Breastfeeding in Katy completely transformed my breastfeeding journey. She was incredibly thoughtful, offered practical and compassionate advice, and truly made a world of difference for me and my baby. Before meeting her, I was seriously considering giving up—but thanks to her support and expertise, I felt empowered to continue. Brandy is not only an amazing lactation consultant but also a genuinely kind and caring person. If you're struggling or need guidance, I highly recommend reaching out to her. My baby and I feel truly blessed to have been in her care.

Bayou City Breastfeeding, Mary in particular, have been incredible. I called during a time of desperation, with a week old baby and no clue how hard breastfeeding was going to be. Suzanne answered my call on a Friday, listened to me and gave me tips on the phone and set me up with an appointment with Mary the next day. Since then, our breastfeeding journey has made a 180. Mary not only is incredibly compassionate and kind, she is extremely knowledgeable. She made us feel comfortable, informed and empowered. She has become such an integral part of our breastfeeding journey, and I credit so much our success (and sanity) to her. She started as a lactation consultant, but now is a dear friend. They say it takes a village, and I am so glad that Bayou City Breastfeeding is part of ours.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! And we are so happy to have been able to help!
