What an amazing experience! Kristen was my consultant and provided the knowledge and support for me as a first time mom who struggled with latching. She helped me build a plan to exclusively pump and eventually my sweet baby girl learned to nurse as well. We also worked with Dr. Lyndsey having some body work done to help my baby with discomfort she was having. Over all I was so happy I chose Bayou City breastfeeding and will recommend to any family or friends looking to start a family and wanting to breastfeed.
Response from the owner:Brenna, Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journey with us. We are truly honored that you entrusted Bayou City Breastfeeding during such an important time in your life. Kristin is passionate about walking alongside families with care and encouragement, and it means the world to hear how her guidance helped you and your sweet baby girl find your rhythm together. We’re also so glad Dr. Lyndsey’s Bodywork brought comfort and support to your little one. Your words reflect the heart of what we strive for—empowering families with knowledge, compassion, and personalized care. Knowing that you would recommend us to your loved ones is the greatest compliment we could receive. Thank you for letting us be part of your story; we’re celebrating every milestone with you! With love and latches, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team
Very knowledgeable and personable. I just learned so much from her even after working with a previous lactation consultant.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! So happy we could help!
I could not possibly recommend them enough. Nicole and the team are incredible and are always available to help when I have questions between visits. The best decision I’ve ever made was to call Bayou City Breastfeeding when my little one was a few days old. We made it to 6 months and are still going strong thanks to Nicole!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the review! And congratulations on achieving 6 months of breastfeeding! You have a very lucky baby! ❤️
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathy Lenert. She has gone above and beyond for me and my baby . Her support has been genuine, patient, and deeply compassionate during one of the hardest phases of new motherhood. She always makes me feel heard, understood, and cared for — not just as a feeding parent, but as a whole person. After my son’s tongue tie release she went above and beyond to call me to check in and was very supportive.
Her guidance has made such a difference in our breastfeeding journey, and I’m truly grateful for her dedication. She is a rare gem and I recommend her wholeheartedly to any new mom.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience. We are truly touched by your kind words about Kathy. Supporting families through the challenges of early parenthood is at the heart of what we do, and it means the world to know that Kathy’s compassion, patience, and dedication made such a difference for you and your baby. Your story beautifully reflects the care and commitment Kathy brings to every family she works with — ensuring parents feel heard, understood, and supported as whole individuals. We’re especially glad her follow-up after your son’s tongue tie release brought you comfort during such an important moment in your journey. We are honored to walk alongside you in this chapter of motherhood, and your wholehearted recommendation is deeply appreciated. Thank you for trusting Bayou City Breastfeeding — and Kathy — to be part of your family’s story. 💜 With love and latches, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team 💜
I had an amazing experience and relationship with my LC, Dana Gillman. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She helped my son and I with latch/gas issues as well as general maintenance and care for myself to prevent clogs. She was very responsive when I had questions that came up throughout the week in between our appointments. She also was very supportive and encouraging during postpartum and I cannot thank her enough for her kindness.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with Dana, Karen! We're thrilled to hear that Dana was able to provide such exceptional support and care for you and your son. Your kind words about her responsiveness, knowledge, and encouragement during postpartum mean the world to us. We're delighted that Dana made such a positive impact on your breastfeeding journey. If there's anything more we can do for you, please don't hesitate to reach out. 🌸😊
Absolutely loved the experience! I learned so much and it was so helpful! She's wonderful!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so honored that you chose to have Bayou City Breastfeeding as part of your support team!
I’m a first time mom and don’t really know what I’m doing as far as breastfeeding so I scheduled an appointment just to see what they had to say and after a 2 hour appointment I learned so much. More than I even knew to ask. They cover a lot more than just latching and scheduling and the very basics that I was expecting. I have so much more confidence in my breastfeeding journey and just motherhood as a whole now that I have them by my side
