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!
The best lactation consultant. Lisa is very patient with me and I am learning so much. Try them out. You will not regret it.

Thank you Jen for helping me on my breastfeeding journey, with a successful outcome! Thank you Jen for your encouragement when I was down, positive words when I needed them, & following through with our progress. Baby had a tongue tie, and Jen recommended an ENT & followed through for a few months while baby's latch improved & weight came up.
Thank you!! :)
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
I was so happy with my experience with Tessa. I learned so much more than just about breastfeeding. She taught me about tummy time and all kinds of tips and...
I needed guidance on how to navigate breastfeeding my toddler while pregnant and Miranda and Megan did not disappoint! They both helped me form a plan for continuing to bf my toddler while also setting new routines to facilitate night weaning and encourage longer stretches of sleep for the both of us.
Response from the owner:Hi Baylie! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. Your kind words will surely encourage other moms who are facing a similar situation. We are thrilled that Miranda and Megan were able to provide you with the tools and resources that you needed to fix your sleeping patterns while juggling night-weaning, breastfeeding a toddler and preparing for a new little one. You are a Rock Star!!! 🌟 Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Warmly, Bayou City Breastfeeding
With my first child, my breastfeeding journey was terrible due to edema, low milk supply, and not so good advice from the hospital and lactation consultant. For my second child, I promised myself to be more prepared and that is how I found this practice. I was able to breastfeed my second baby and have some spare milk on the freezer. My only regret is not reaching out to Suzanne the first time around. I keep thinking how things would have been different if she had been my lactation consultant with my first child. The team here is amazing. Please reach out, even if you think it is already too late, they truly keep up and set personalized goals.
Response from the owner:Hi Mariana! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words with us. We are thrilled to hear how much Bayou City Breastfeeding has been able to help you and your little one during your second breastfeeding journey. Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are so glad to have you in the BCB family! All the best, Team Bayou City Breastfeeding
I’ve delivered my first baby 3 weeks earlier and she stayed in NICU for few days which makes it difficult to breastfeed her. Later I kept struggling to make her latch and when she did latch I’ve never been able to keep her latched. Also, I was having difficulties with positioning. I seek Bayou City Breastfeeding for help and the amazing LC Kyna got assigned to me. Kyna first taught me how to set and hold the baby for the breastfeeding, and she taught me some mouth and cheeks exercises to train the baby how to latch. In few seconds my baby was able to latch and she refused to let it go 😊 …. Kyna showed me how to use the breast bump correctly and how to choose the right size that will be comfortable and not painful. She also shared some useful resources that will help with the journey of breast feeding. I was very happy after our first session with Kyna. We met again for several follow up sessions and each time she taught me something new. My baby now is 3 months and she cried for the breastfeeding than the bottle feeding. Each time I breastfeed her I wish i can call Kyna to say thank you. Words are not enough Kyna ❤️
Response from the owner:Hi Haifa! 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. 😊 We are so happy that Kyna was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and help needed to start 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
I have used Jessica from Bayou City Breastfeeding now for both of my children. She was instrumental in making sure that we were successful in breastfeeding, allowing me to get off to a good start with my second and to nurse for close to two years with my first. She is responsive and went above and beyond to be available for appointments and questions. I would recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to anyone looking for lactation support!
Response from the owner:Hi Christina! We really appreciate you sharing your positive experience and kind words with us!!! We feel honored that your family has placed its trust in Jessica and Bayou City Breastfeeding, not once, but twice! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your support team. 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
