The experience has been amazing. Suzanne, Karen and Tessa are very caring and all the advices have been helpful for the tongue tie issue of my son.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
So thankful for Suzanne! I wish every mom would have access to someone like her. She has help make a huge difference in my breastfeeding journey and I don’t fear any obstacles or changes that may arise as my little one grows because I know I have Suzanne to guide me. Suzanne is passionate about what she does and she not only cares about your breastfeeding success but she cares about you and your well-being as a postpartum mom.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! So happy to be a part of your support team and you are a ROCKSTAR!
I am so thankful for home visits during this time (pandemic). Bayou City Breastfeeding as a company did great as a company to make sure we were safe. Asked us for temperatures prior to letting our LC come into our home. When she arrived she immediately washed her hand and was wearing a mask. I absolutely love Tiphany! She has made herself so available for me and is just such an amazing support.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We know that it is a stressful time, especially with everything going on with COVID. We are so happy to be able to still provide our support services to new parents and are glad you found your visit to be helpful! Wishing you the best!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bayou City Breast Feeding! I dealt with pain latching for the first month of my daughters life and then finally came to see Brandy. My only regret is that I would have come sooner!! She helped me learn how to feed without pain but more than that gave me so much encouragement as a new mom! She is such a gift and has helped me tremendously! We still go see her for well visits and she has helped me navigate going back to work and other questions that I have. I can't recommend Brandy and Bayou City Breastfeeding enough!

Suzzane is also amazing and helping my appointments get coverage through my insurance Blue Cross Blue Shield. They did not want to pay the claims, but she has worked so hard to make sure they are paid.

Book an appointment! You will be so so grateful you did!!
Response from the owner:Hi Leah, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words with us. We are thrilled to hear how much Suzanne and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you start your breastfeeding journey. Being a new mother can be overwhelming. We are so glad that Suzanne was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
My wife and I have had 2 babies both with tongue ties and lip ties. So much pain with breastfeeding, so much difficulty with getting a good latch, so much...
Bayou City Breastfeeding is a must! I booked a session right after having my baby when I discovered we were having issues with latching/feeding. I knew my baby wasn’t getting enough to eat early on and freaked out. I worked with Jennifer and she is great, I highly recommend her! She listens to your feeding goals and provided me with so many helpful tips! Tip for new moms, book one consultation before you deliver your baby so you can have a good feeding plan ahead of time then do follow-up appointments after baby is here.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
I can’t say enough good things about Tessa and how much she has helped this first time mom. She has calmed my anxieties and taught me SO MUCH about breastfeeding, positions, baby’s tongue movement, and body work. Her referral to our pediatric dentist and instructions after our tongue tie release has greatly healed my baby. Moreso, she’s so prompt with messages and will fit me in her schedule when I’m in a pinch. Our appointments are never rushed, and time just flies by in the most wonderful way. I truly never thought how much I’d need a lactation counselor as someone who’s been working with pregnant moms and moms with babies for years, but my baby isn’t even three months yet and we’ve visited her twice a month. She keeps the atmosphere super zen and uplifting. I’d go in ready to cry, end up laughing, and leave excited to implement the recommendations she’s made. Her depth of knowledge, expertise, and passion is evident. My infant always seems happier, physically relaxed, and her latch progresses so much after our visits with Tessa. I’m so grateful to her impact on our breastfeeding journey. God bless Tessa!
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah! We cannot thank you enough for your glowing recommendation! There’s no doubt that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊 There are certainly others who are facing similar issues with latching, tongue tie and painful breastfeeding. We are so happy that Tessa was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools you needed to continue your breastfeeding journey. If there is anything else we can do to help you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are always here for you! Warmly, Bayou City Breastfeeding
The lactation consultants I worked with - Megan and a few trainees - were so helpful in giving me confidence and tools to make my breastfeeding journey successful and enjoyable. My son and I are doing so well today in part because of their support. I liked that there were options for virtual, in home and in office depending on our needs and how we were doing on any given day. The online messaging with quick responses was also super helpful. I felt like they truly cared for us and especially for my son and could share their experience as well. I highly recommend their services!! They also bill insurance which can be hard to find!
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation!!! It is our mission to reduce as much stress as possible for our clients and to provide them with all the tools necessary to have a successful breastfeeding journey. We are so pleased that you benefitted from all three of our appointment options, virtual, in office and, in home and that your IBCLC, Megan, was so responsive to your online questions. Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you! Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn't the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos...
i had such a wonderful experience with bayou city. as a third time mama, i was still in need of breastfeeding advice. after working through my baby’s oral ties, and food sensitivities, we were still having issues with breastfeeding. i received some great tips and advice, that i hadn’t tried prior. anyone could benefit from seeing their Lcs.
