Britni was INCREDIBLE. She was incredibly attentive, thorough, and knowledgeable. I left the appointment feeling heard and empowered to execute the plan we had set out to make breastfeeding a better experience for my son and I.
Response from the owner:Hi Jillian, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 We are so happy that Britni was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement, support and help needed to continue your breastfeeding journey. 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
They are wonderful. I would definitely recommend to help with breastfeeding questions and support.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
The process of getting help was fantastic! I really liked how I got a virtual consultation before my in-person one to give me more immediate help. Katelyn was a fantastic lactation consultant! She helped me find the right pump and gave me some confidence to continue my breastfeeding journey. I will definitely be coming to this team again and recommending them to anyone that I can.
Response from the owner:Hey Robin, Wow, your words mean the world to us! We're thrilled that the virtual consultation provided immediate support before your in-person visit. Katelyn will be overjoyed to hear how her expertise and guidance boosted your breastfeeding journey. Knowing you have confidence and the right tools makes our efforts truly worthwhile. 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
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
Tessa came for a home visit and was extremely knowledgeable. She was able to assess the amount of milk taken during the nursing session, provide some guidance and help on latching and give some personal feedbacks on milk supply and pump settings. I really enjoyed the first session and I am already planning to do another one to see the progress.
My 4 month old and I are extremely grateful for all the information and training we received from a home visit with Tiphany. Thanks to her, we are now on the right path to addressing some serious lip, tongue and buccal ties! In turn my babe will drastically reduce her risks of oral malformations as she develops during her childhood years. And of course improve her ability to take a bottle, which was the original reason for our visit! Thank you Tiphany!!
Breastfeeding wouldn’t have been possible without the help and continued care I received from Tiffany! She also found a tongue tie, that neither the hospital nor the pediatrician detected. Without her support I would not have been able to breast-feed my son
Response from the owner:Hi Megan, Thank you for your kind words! But you are the one that did all the hard work!!! It’s wonderful to hear how the services and care provided by Bayou City Breastfeeding helped you achieve your goal of breastfeeding. We are so glad that Tiffany was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to guide you through the challenges of breastfeeding a baby with tongue tie. It was truly an honor and a privilege to be able to assist you in this journey. 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
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
My IBCLC helped me and my baby persevere with breastfeeding as we waited for his frenectomy. She’s worked with us through all the difficulties and encouraged me when I’ve wanted to give up. I would not have continued breastfeeding if it weren’t for the support and care my baby and I received from Bayou City Breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're overjoyed to hear that our Katy team members supported you and your baby through the challenges you faced during breastfeeding, especially as you awaited his frenectomy. At Bayou City Breastfeeding, our goal is to provide unwavering support and care to mothers and babies on their breastfeeding journey. Your trust in us is inspiring, and we're immensely grateful to have been a part of your breastfeeding success story. If you ever need further support or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here for you every step of the way. Warm regards, Bayou City Breastfeeding
