We had such amazing support with the team at Bayou! They helped us with our two babies who had tongue ties and I learned how to do the stretches and nurse them effectively. My babies are healthy and growing so well because of their experience and expertise! Even when we moved to a different state, we still reached out to them and they gave such valuable virtual help! You guys are amazing!

Tiphany was amazing! She helped transform our breastfeeding journey and changed our lives. She was patient with me and I always felt extremely informed by her when it came to anything she was recommending us to do and any extra care (chiropractic/tie revisions/etc). She is professional and relatable. If I have any issues going forward, I will definitely be reaching back out for another follow-up. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

I've only just had the initial appointment so far, but I am very pleased with the information and guidance provided and will continue to come here for more breastfeeding support 😄
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to support you in your breastfeeding journey!
Our first consultation here was excellent! We had conflicting and confusing advice from the hospital LCs, so we set up with Bayou City Breastfeeding to try to sort out some of our issues. Katelyn was an excellent resource and so kind, friendly, and supportive. We will be returning and recommend anyone looking for support reach out and schedule with them!

Edit to add - I am a first time mom, with ambitions of nursing my 3 week old for at least a year if possible!

I would absolutely recommend working with Kyna! I was unsure what to expect as I was able to feed my baby but we had some issues with gas and over production. Kyna showed me some great tricks and some of the daily exercises have seemed to make a huge difference.

Katelyn has been working with me and my daughter for the last several months as we navigate newborn / infant feeding related issues. She made me feel completely comfortable in the sessions, putting me at ease. She is easy to talk with, and I have always felt like I could openly express my concerns and worries without judgement.  She has a great depth of knowledge and wisdom, which she shares in practical ways. She is also kind, caring, compassionate, encouraging, and personable.  She has been such a blessing for us through this time in our lives. I highly recommend Katelyn at Bayou City Breastfeeding.

Mary was an amazing IBCLC. She spent hours listening, working with us, and consulting different resources to get our 4.5lb emergency C-section baby from his feeding tube, through a tie release procedure to a happy little guy who nursed until he was almost 2. She stayed in touch with us periodically even after we stopped seeing her regularly. Just a few months ago after guiding me through some resources on breastfeeding during IVF for our next pregnancy I sent her the following: Just wanted to report in and thank you for the incredible work you did to save Gavin's breastfeeding journey. It is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received and there are no words to appropriately thank you 🙏 Merry Christmas! 🎄
Response from the owner:Hi Erin, Thank you for sharing your touching and deeply personal story. We are humbled to that you chose Mary and Bayou City Breastfeeding to help you during such a trying time. It was an honor to be part of your support team. You should be so proud that you were able to breastfeed for 2 years! That is quite a feat! Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding

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
