I met with Claire after having issues with aggressive letdown and oversupply that was causing painful feedings for baby and I. She helped with the letdown and supply, while also teaching me more comfortable positions and aids to help with better feedings all around. I’m incredibly thankful to have found Claire and Bayou City Breastfeeding and will continue our feeding journey with them happily!
Response from the owner:Hi Lauren, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words with us. Your words will surely help others experiencing a similar situation with letdown and oversupply. We are so happy that Claire was able to provide you the encouragement and help necessary to continue your breastfeeding journey. Please let us know if there is any additional guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
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
Response from the owner:Hi Sharee, Thank you for your review!!!! 😊 Being a first-time mom is daunting and scary on a good day! We are delighted to hear that your consultation exceeded your expectations and that the IBCLCs and staff at Bayou City Breastfeeding gave you the confidence you needed to start and continue your breastfeeding journey. We are sure that you have just helped other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊 Just remember, you’ve got this!!!! Please 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

This company is absolutely wonderful!! I worked with 3 different IBCLCs (depending on which location was most convenient and my crazy schedule - they were extremely accommodating), and they were all phenomenal!! Brandy is experienced and helped me get through a lot of challenges during my breastfeeding journey. The owner, Suzanne, is knowledgeable and cares a great deal about each mother/baby pair that walks through that door. I cannot recommend them enough!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review. We are so happy to be a part of your journey and support you along the way!
What an amazing experience. Learned so much, patient and caring staff
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team! 🤍 Warmly, Bayou City Breastfeeding
So thankful for Suzanne! I wish every mom would have access to someone like her. She has help make a huge difference in my breastfeeding journey and I don’t fear any obstacles or changes that may arise as my little one grows because I know I have Suzanne to guide me. Suzanne is passionate about what she does and she not only cares about your breastfeeding success but she cares about you and your well-being as a postpartum mom.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! So happy to be a part of your support team and you are a ROCKSTAR!
The appointment with Tessa exceeded my expectations. These ladies have done their due diligence in not only educating themselves on how to comprehensively address feeding issues with your baby and you but they ALSO ensure they pass on their knowledge based on you and your baby’s needs.

In addition to care that goes beyond anything I have seen in a medical/appointment type setting, these women have ensured that most insurance coverages will be accepted by their practice. It was so nice to not have to think about filing claims or super bills in the midst of postpartum. Thank you, BCB!
Response from the owner:Rachel, 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. It is also our mission to remove the challenges of insurance whenever possible. Postpartum is stressful enough! 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 Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Warmly, Bayou City Breastfeeding
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 Bayou City LC! I was having major pain from what I thought was a clogged duct. Even though it was a Sunday they called me and it turned out I have mastitis. I was able to have the consultation with Suzanne for recommendations, meet with my doctor and get a prescription all within 2 hours. ON A SUNDAY! They are genuinely caring and there to help. I don't know what I would do without them. Biggest thanks to Amanda for getting me on the books and Suzanne for taking time with me on a weekend. They also helped when I was having issues with an oversupply. I will continue to use them through my breastfeeding journey and recommending them to others. Thank you!
Claire was very knowledgeable and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for a better lactation consultant!
