I saw Jennifer 3 weeks after my baby had her her tongue tie release. Jennifer provided me with so much education on stretches, homeopathic pain relief, overall tongue tie healing, flange sizing for pumping, everything breastfeeding, and supplements good for lactation and hormonal balancing. Her help has been invaluable. She met with us weekly and it is because of Jennifer that my baby had gained range of motion in her tongue even with some reattachment. I highly recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding for anyone looking for lactation support.
Response from the owner:Hi Eileen, Thank you for your review!!!! 😊 There are certainly others who are facing similar issues with latching, tongue tie and painful breastfeeding. 😊 We are so happy that Jennifer was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement, support and help needed to continue your breastfeeding journey. Just remember you did ALL the hard work to ensure that your baby thrived!!! You are the superhero and should be proud of yourself!!!! 😊 Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you!

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.

We’re deeply moved to hear how her thoughtful care and compassionate guidance helped transform your breastfeeding journey. It means the world to us that she was able to empower you during such a vulnerable time and help you continue with confidence. Brandy truly embodies the heart of Bayou City Breastfeeding—kind, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to supporting families. We’re so grateful she could be there for you and your baby. You and your little one are a cherished part of our community, and we’re always here if you need anything along the way. With latches and love, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team

I've been working with Karen for 5 months now. She has been truly exceptional. She has idea galore, tips and tricks I've never heard (this is my 3rd kiddo) and sage, wise advice. I'm not sure if we would still be breastfeeding without her. She is a gem. I would absolutely recommend Karen and Bayou City Breastfeeding. Without a doubt!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. We think Karen is amazing too, and are so happy to have her on our team.

Highly recommend Lisa Smelek! She was so helpful and knowledgeable, and our visits were very comfortable and enjoyable. We made great progress, and I’m thankful to have found her!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!

Without the guidance of Suzanne and her expertise, I dont think breastfeeding would have lasted long for us at all. She always knows exactly what is needed to get us headed on the best track for success. All the other lactation consultants we have seen here have been pretty great also as well as the chiropractor Dr. Chelsea! I highly recommend taking advantage of their services if you are expecting or have a little one!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words, Christine! We're thrilled to hear that Suzanne and our team could provide the support you needed on your breastfeeding journey. It's always our goal to set families up for success. Your recommendation means the world to us! 💛 We are so happy to have you in the Bayou City Breastfeeding family!

Claire was very knowledgeable and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for a better lactation consultant!
Response from the owner:Hi Starr! We greatly appreciate your review!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words with us. We are so happy that Claire was able to provide you the encouragement and help necessary to start you on your breastfeeding journey. 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
Ashley Q.
We love Suzanne..we have been thru 2 kids, 2 revision procedures and 2 totally different breastfeeding experiences.. one with just enough (sometimes not enough) and with an oversupply.. if i had to do it again i would choose her again and again to help with my breastfeeding journeys!!!
Response from the owner:Ashley, Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience with us and for choosing Bayou City Breastfeeding to see you through multiple breastfeeding journeys. As you said, each journey is different and comes with its own set of obstacles (and breakthoughs!) :-). We truly appreciate your kind words. But remember, you did all the hard work. We are so pleased that BCB was able to help. Don't hesitate to reach out it you need anything else! - Team BCB :-)

My 4 month old and I are extremely grateful for all the information and training we received from a home visit with Tiphany. Thanks to her, we are now on the right path to addressing some serious lip, tongue and buccal ties! In turn my babe will drastically reduce her risks of oral malformations as she develops during her childhood years. And of course improve her ability to take a bottle, which was the original reason for our visit! Thank you Tiphany!!

Went for my first appointment here as a prenatal to get prepared. I now know how to use all the devices I got for self care and breast feeding. I feel more confident I will be better prepared. They even show you how to hold your baby and to get then to latch! I wanted more then what the newborn class I had to take had and I got it. It's also in a brand new building!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so glad you had a good prenatal visit and are looking forward to meeting your little one!

Kathy was great from my prenatal lactation visit through the first couple months of birth with my baby. She was so informative and helped navigate through some breastfeeding issues I was having. I highly recommend BCBLC.
Response from the owner:Hi Ariana! Thank you for your review!!!! 😊 We are sure that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant BEFORE the baby arrives. 😊 We are so happy that Kathy was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and help on your both your pre-natal and breastfeeding journeys. 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
