I cannot say enough great things about Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation!!
If you’re on the fence if you can breastfeed, I would absolutely make an appointment here first. It may seem overwhelming but having someone guide you and give you advice along the way will be so helpful.

Katelyn helped me through SO much! I learned how to nurse my baby and pump better and more efficiently. I gained so much confidence in my abilities to feed by baby thanks to her guidance. Especially during the early postpartum days.

My daughter also has reflux and Katelyn helped me work on things to improve this and help keep my baby comfortable as well.

I’m now off of maternity leave and had to begin traveling for work..Katelyn helped me with so many things to prepare for being away from my baby so I could have a supply at home. She also helped me work out options to pump on the go conveniently and with ease. It was a breeze when I traveled for work thanks to her help!

I owe so much of my successful breastfeeding journey to Katelyn. I am so grateful that my baby is 6mths old and we are still breastfeeding, even as a working mom!

THANK YOU KATELYN!! I couldn’t have gotten through this without you.
Response from the owner:Hi Kimberly, Your words are too kind! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us and for your encouragement to other working mothers. We are thrilled to hear how much Katelyn and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you and your family. Being a working mom with a baby that is still breastfeeding can be challenging. Adding travel to your return-to-work routine while also breastfeeding, just proves your commitment to your baby’s health. We are so happy that Katelyn was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the tools and guidance necessary to stay on your breastfeeding journey. You should be very proud of breastfeeding past the 6-month point!!! That’s quite a feat for a working mom!!! 😊 Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide.
Let me just say, that these ladies are all amazing! My regular consultant is out on leave, but the other consultants have worked together to accommodate me so they I can continue to get the lactation support I need. I've had the pleasure to work with about 5 of the consultants at the company, and each one brings something different yet equally great as the others. I love that they treat you like family.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the review! We have been so happy to be a part of your story!
Time spent with Mary was time well spent. She helped ease my anxieties and gave good guidance to get my baby and I on the right track for breastfeeding success. Scheduling with her was always easy, the office staff was most helpful. I highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Kathelyn is amazing. She is explained pretty well and helped me to understand the lactation process in a smooth way.

We had a great experience here! Our lactation consultant really took her time with us and gave us multiple ideas to try to remedy one issue we were experiencing. We did not feel rushed and felt understood/heard. Thank you!

I am so incredibly thankful for Dana and all of her help with breastfeeding! From literally the very first day out of the hospital, she has been there for us, offering breastfeeding tips and education. Without her guidance and shared knowledge, our breastfeeding journey might not have lasted.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Kristina, for your heartfelt review! Your journey is truly inspiring, and we're thrilled that Dana could be there for you from day one. Her dedication to helping families navigate breastfeeding is what drives us, and it means the world to hear how her support made a difference in your experience.

Here's to many more milestones together! 🍼💕 Gratefully, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team
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.

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
Love this place! Katelyn has been so helpful with my breastfeeding journey. Truly grateful to have a place dedicated to help women feel comfortable and knowledgeable during postpartum. I would have never known my baby had a lip tie and tongue tie if it wasn’t for Katelyn. I wasn’t getting any sleep and once we clipped our baby’s tongue we had a huge improvement right away and I was able to sleep more than 1.5 hours.
Response from the owner:Hi Liz, 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 and who are facing similar sleepless nights with little ones with undiagnosed ties. It is our mission to provide our parents with all the knowledge, support and encouragement they need to overcome anything that comes along on their breastfeeding journeys. We are so happy that Katelyn was the perfect IBCLC for you! Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you!

I had such a wonderful experience at BCB! My son struggled to breastfeed after birth, but Tiphany was a lifesaver! She got us off to a great start and even helped us incorporate bottles to decrease the chance he would reject a bottle when I had to return to work.

Now my son is 6 months old, thriving and can switch between bottles and breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Hi Emily, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and kind words with us. We are thrilled to hear how much Tiphany and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you during your breastfeeding journey. Being a new mother can be overwhelming, especially when you are going back to work. We are so glad that Tiphany was able to give you the tips and advice you needed to make that transition seamless. 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
