We’ve been working with Suzanne since our baby was a week old. We were struggling with weight gain, and breastfeeding was so incredibly challenging as a first time mom. Suzanne was amazing at determining what issues we were having AND helping us get to the root causes of our issues. I appreciate that she always explains things simply when doing an exam on our baby. Dr. Chelsea is also incredible! Our baby loves getting adjusted and is always so happy after. We’ve learned a lot from Dr. Chelsea and now our baby loves to do his stretches throughout the day.
Response from the owner:Hi Meena, Thank you for your incredible review! We are delighted to hear about your positive experience with Suzanne and Dr. Chelsea. Suzanne is passionate about helping mothers and their babies thrive, and it’s wonderful to know that her guidance and expertise have made such a difference for your family. Dr. Chelsea is equally thrilled to hear that your baby enjoys his adjustments and stretches. We are committed to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for both moms and their little ones. Your kind words motivate us to continue providing the best care possible. All the best, Suzanne, Dr. Chelsea, and the Bayou City Breastfeeding Team

I am so grateful I found Bayou City Breastfeeding! My appointments with Suzanne were the most helpful appointments I've ever had. I have learned so much and...
Claire Logue
If not for BCB, I would have had a very different breastfeeding outcome. Breastfeeding was painful, verging on unbearable, before discovering and reversing my daughter’s oral ties. Because of the ongoing care and attention from Suzanne and other providers at BCB, our breastfeeding journey is still going strong at 14 months. I know we would not be in the same place today if BCB had not taken my goals to heart and made such a Herculean effort to see us be successful. Forever grateful for Suzanne and her team!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Kristina C
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. We're honored to have been part of your journey, and we're here for you every step of the way. Your story is a testament to the power of guidance and shared knowledge.

Eden Howe
Kristin and the team have been absolutely amazing in our breastfeeding journey! I had newborn who had blood sugar issues in the hospital and had to give her a bottle so she was refusing to latch once we got home from the hospital. It was so easy to book an appointment with Bayou City and they took care of all the insurance process. With Kristin’s expertise my baby was able to get back to nursing! As a first time mom it was such a gift to have support, advice, and encouragement every week! I'm so grateful to have had the support and have recommended them to all my mom friends!
Response from the owner:Hi Eden, Thank you for your glowing recommendation! But you are the one that did all the hard work!!! We are so glad that Kristin was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to guide you through the challenges of breastfeeding, especially with a baby who was initially refusing to latch. Removing the obstacles of insurance is also a priority for us, as we understand how stressful the postpartum period can be! 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. 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

I’ve had 2 consults now with Tessa at the Jones Rd location, and baby has made so much progress with his latching. I’m not sure where our breastfeeding journey will end up, but I do know I wouldn’t have made it this far without Tessa. I’ve never felt more heard, understood, and supported. Thank you Tessa and Bayou City Breast Feeding for all that you do to help Mamas struggling to breastfeed.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Karla
As an exclusive pumper, I had horrible experiences with other lactation consultants. I came here on a recommendation and I don’t regret it!! Our consultant was understanding, informative and a great listener. The communication is easy as well… they have texting and direct messaging.
Response from the owner:Hi Karla! We greatly appreciate your recommendation! 😊 It’s wonderful to hear how the services and care provided by Bayou City Breastfeeding surpass those of other lactation consulting groups. Please keep spreading the word!!! Also, 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
