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 :-)
I've never been to a lactation consult before so I didn't know what to expect. I had a great experience with Melissa! She was really friendly and informative. Very easy to get along with. Breastfeeding and pumping when at work has been difficult but after meeting with Melissa, I feel better about my journey. Looking forward to our follow up appointment.
Response from the owner:Hi Staccey! 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 Melissa was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools necessary for 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
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...
Melissa is a godsend!! 💗 She is so knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful. I felt so much more confident with our newborn after meeting with her. Can’t wait for our next follow up.

I cannot speak enough praise for Bayou City, specifically Claire J and Brandy (who we met a few times!). Claire is my go to gal for all things breastfeeding for mom and baby. I’m a nicu nurse and have completed coursework myself to become a CLC, and I know MANY LCs, but none compare to Claire. She is so dedicated and is a vast wealth of knowledge. We live in Dallas and were connected to Claire through a mutual friend after a complicated tie release when my daughter was almost completely aversive to the breast and would not take a bottle. I was very close to requesting a feeding tube from my pediatrician. Claire met with me virtually multiple times, even on the day after Christmas, and she was able to help my daughter be receptive to feeding consistently in a matter of 48 hours. In the months to come, we visited Claire at bayou city for week long intensives, where she worked us in to her schedule around our other appointments in Katy and even brought in other LCs like Brandy to consult on post release healing. She is skilled at navigating ties (pre and post release) and breastfeeding, supply issues, maternal health complications, and the emotional dynamics of everything. She has a wealth of resources at her fingertips and knows how to use them. Kind and gentle, realistic, and affirming of maternal dyad goals, Claire is the person y’all need for success in your breastfeeding journey.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your incredible review and kind words about Claire and Brandy! We are truly honored to have been part of your family's breastfeeding journey, and your story is a testament to the power of perseverance and compassionate care. Claire’s dedication and expertise shine brightly, and it’s wonderful to hear how her guidance—whether virtually or in person—made such a meaningful difference for you and your daughter. She embodies the very heart of what we strive for at Bayou City Breastfeeding: personalized support that not only addresses the physical aspects of feeding but also considers the emotional and practical needs of each family. We’re equally thrilled to know that Brandy's consultations added to the positive experience. It’s our mission to provide collaborative, comprehensive care to help families overcome challenges and achieve their unique goals. Your words reaffirm why we do what we do—helping mothers and babies thrive together. Thank you again for taking the time to share your journey, and for trusting us during such an important time. Wishing you and your family continued success and joy on this beautiful journey of parenthood! 🌸
Kathy is absolutely wonderful. Very patient and very informative. My daughter has made so much improvement since coming to Bayou City Breastfeeding.

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

Second kiddo and a whole new set of obstacles on our journey, Bayou City Breastfeeding has been there with us every step of the way. They have helped us with SNS feeding, pumping, formula feeding, low supply, tongue and lip ties, body work, pediatric chiropractic referrals, everything under the sun that has been thrown at us. We never would have been able to come as far as we have without the support we've received from this team.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Tessa is an AMAZING consultant. I literally ask her about everything! I rely on her more than I rely on my son's doctor. When I ask the pediatrician a question, I usually get "He's fine", but with Tessa I get explanations and details that help me better understand certain things. Dr. Emily is heaven sent as she helped to loosen my baby. The exercises have been working very well with him and he so flexible now and sleeps so much better. Her patience with babies is wonderful!!
Response from the owner:Hello Lee! Thank you so much for your glowing review! It is so wonderful to hear that Tessa and Bayou City Breastfeeding far exceeded your expectations. It is our mission to pass on our knowledge on to our clients, so they have all the tools they need to take care of their babies. Remember, all of your questions are important and deserve detailed answers. No one knows your baby better than you do! We feel honored that your family has placed its trust in Bayou City Breastfeeding! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your support team. Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Warmly, Bayou City Breastfeeding
