I can’t say enough good things about Tessa and how much she has helped this first time mom. She has calmed my anxieties and taught me SO MUCH about breastfeeding, positions, baby’s tongue movement, and body work. Her referral to our pediatric dentist and instructions after our tongue tie release has greatly healed my baby. Moreso, she’s so prompt with messages and will fit me in her schedule when I’m in a pinch. Our appointments are never rushed, and time just flies by in the most wonderful way. I truly never thought how much I’d need a lactation counselor as someone who’s been working with pregnant moms and moms with babies for years, but my baby isn’t even three months yet and we’ve visited her twice a month. She keeps the atmosphere super zen and uplifting. I’d go in ready to cry, end up laughing, and leave excited to implement the recommendations she’s made. Her depth of knowledge, expertise, and passion is evident. My infant always seems happier, physically relaxed, and her latch progresses so much after our visits with Tessa. I’m so grateful to her impact on our breastfeeding journey. God bless Tessa!

There’s no doubt that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊 There are certainly others who are facing similar issues with latching, tongue tie and painful breastfeeding. We are so happy that Tessa was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools you needed to continue your breastfeeding journey.If there is anything else we can do to help you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

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!
I am so grateful for Karen! She has helped us so much in our breastfeeding journey. From latch issues to low supply, she was able to help us overcome each obstacle and continue working toward our goals. We have learned so much from her and would recommend her to any new mommas looking for breastfeeding & pumping help.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for leaving such a kind review for Karen, we love hearing great things about our team. We will be sure to let her know about your review. And kudos to you for working through some challenging issues. Your baby is lucky to have such a dedicated mama!
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 found Bayou City Breastfeeding about three years ago. Suzanne helped me with my daughter to ensure my desires of breastfeeding my baby were met. She not only showed me techniques to help with her latch, she also recommended certain things I had no idea about that would help my BF journey. I’m so thankful for her help I was able to BF my daughter for 15 months before she (daughter) decided she was ready to be done. I am now back at BCBF with my new baby who has had latching issues and again Suzanne is there to help me with all her knowledge and amazingness! I definitely recommend Bayou City BF!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!

Helped me navigate how to best help her and heal her mouth!Additionally, I am an over supplier and get frequent clogged milk ducts, they were able to teach me how to work through this!

My breastfeeding journey would have been over a hundred times by now if it weren’t for Suzanne and Bayou city breastfeeding. The combination of science backed facts and emotional encouragement has given me the ability to make many educated decisions for me and my baby girl. I am so so so grateful this service exists and hope it’ll be more accessible in every branch of pre and post natal healthcare soon.

Wow! If you are trying to find a place that will take the time to talk to you and help you with your breastfeeding needs, this is it. My consult was 1 hour 20 min, and our lactation specialist was helpful and had such great information and tips. She helped me latch my baby and gave me great feedback on how to do it, which is what I’m struggling with. She evaluated my baby as well and gave us exercises to do at home to help with the lip and tongue ties. She scheduled a follow up visit to see our progress in the next week. All in all, so grateful to have this resource. Highly recommend it!And you can text them to communicate! Hello, this is so helpful for parents, instead of waiting on hold for 20 min to make an appointment.
Response from the owner: Hey Llasmin,We’re absolutely delighted to read your review! It’s heartening to hear that our lactation specialist provided you with the support and tips you needed. Your mention of the thorough consult, helpful advice on latching, and personalized exercises for lip and tongue ties reflects the dedication Bayou City Breastfeeding strives for. We’re also glad that the texting option added convenience to your experience. Thank you for recommending us and highlighting the efforts we put into making this resource accessible and effective. We're here for you anytime, and we can’t wait to assist you again. Thank you for spreading the word!We are so glad to have you in the BCB family!All the best,Team Bayou City Breastfeeding
I had such a great visit & experience with Mary, I am so glad I chose Bayou City! My experience was warm & not rushed, we spent the better of 2 hours together & she really got to know me & my baby. She checked things you’d expect your pedi to check but they don’t always. I’m having low supply issues & thought I had tried everything but Mary still gave me good information & things to try that I haven’t. If you’re considering visiting an LC, do it!!! 10/10 Id recommend Bayou City to anyone breastfeeding!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!
Nicole was an amazing help to me as a first time mom! I was able to get a house call scheduled super quick, highly recommend BCB!
