Amazing support in such a difficult time that’s trying to breastfeed your baby. My consultant was Karen and I have no words to describe the help, patience and knowledge shared.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review, we are so blessed to have Karen on our team<3
I had such a wonderful experience at BCB! My son struggled to breastfeed after birth, but Tiphany was a lifesaver! She got us off to a great start and even helped us incorporate bottles to decrease the chance he would reject a bottle when I had to return to work.

Now my son is 6 months old, thriving and can switch between bottles and breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Hi Emily, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and kind words with us. We are thrilled to hear how much Tiphany and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you during your breastfeeding journey. Being a new mother can be overwhelming, especially when you are going back to work. We are so glad that Tiphany was able to give you the tips and advice you needed to make that transition seamless. 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
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.

LOVED my experience with Suzanne
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
I’m a first time Mother and Susan’s helped with all my breastfeeding anxiety’s. She was very supportive and educated me on all my Lil One’s needs. I’m so glad I chose Bayou City Breastfeeding Consultants!!!
It took about a week to get an in person visit, but we were able to get a triage video call appointment within 12 hours of my first contact to address immediate concerns. Kathy at the Houston location was thorough, informative, and very helpful. She was respectful of the goals for our family, and made sure to check in and re-assess those goals at our follow up appointments. Would definitely recommend Kathy and Bayou City to anyone looking for support in feeding their baby!
Response from the owner:Hi Anna, Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation!!! It is our mission to reduce as much stress as possible for our clients and to provide them with all the tools necessary to have a successful breastfeeding journey. We are so pleased that you benefitted from both our virtual and in office appointment options, and that your IBCLC, Kathy, was so responsive to your changing breastfeeding journey goals . Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are so glad to have you in the BCB family! All the best, Team Bayou City Breastfeeding
Suzanne was extremely helpful and squeezed me on on Fathers day, Sunday, in the morning, to accommodate a prenatal visit I needed as I may go into labor any time soon. She gave me a lot of reassurance and I feel so much more prepared going into labor knowing they have a LC on the other side waiting for me to help me one on one! Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!
My LC is Amanda and we’ve been seeing her for roughly a month now. She is such a valuable LC and is patient, kind, and proactive. She goes the lengths to make sure each of her patients are experiencing better outcomes and that they are comfortable with solutions provided for specific pain points. I’m grateful to have a LC that goes beyond the 9-5 mindset and truly cares about her clients.
Response from the owner:Madison, thank you so much for your beautiful review! We’re incredibly grateful for your kind words and for the trust you’ve placed in Amanda and our team. It means so much to hear that Amanda’s compassion, patience, and dedication have made a meaningful impact in your journey. At Bayou Breastfeeding, we strive to go beyond just care—we aim to create a space where every client feels supported, heard, and empowered. Amanda embodies that mission wholeheartedly, and we’re so proud to have her on our team. Thank you again for sharing your experience. We’re honored to walk alongside you and your family, and we’re here for you every step of the way. 💜 In latches and love, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team
Suzanne has been a literal life saver and angel on earth. No matter the obstacle with my breastfeeding journey, she has had a plethora of information and a way to work through it. From latch issues to low weight to ties and low supply, Suzanne is extremely educated and informative and has completely saved my relationship with breastfeeding. She taught me to use my pump, recommended supplements where I needed them and has a resource for whatever your journey requires. There has not been a more supportive and integral person in my support system than Suzanne and I cannot thank her or recommend her enough. Whether you’re a new mom or a 2nd time mom like myself, your time with her is an investment and a wonderful one at that.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
