Don’t know what I did without them for my first child but so thankful to have found them for my second. Melissa is amazing. Patient, understanding, caring…great with the babies and with mama. Truly a partner with you through various stages of your journey. Couldn’t recommend them more!

I can't recommend Bayou Breastfeeding San Antonio enough. Meghan and her team were really caring, they guided me and my baby through a tongue-lip tie, post release, with body work and lots of their support we could meet our breastfeeding goals.

I honestly cannot say enough about the excellent service Bayou City Breastfeeding provides! My IBCLC, Mandy Wilson, has been blessing! She is very...
I was able to get a virtual appointment within 48hrs of my request to get advice on my recent bout with mastitis. My consultant, Suzanne, quickly identified the likely culprit and gave some advice moving forward that was so helpful!! I would highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Jenna,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you were able to get a virtual appointment quickly and receive the support you needed. Suzanne’s ability to identify the issue and provide helpful guidance is exactly what we strive for—making care accessible and effective, even from home.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and are honored to be part of your breastfeeding journey!

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!

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. 🌸😊
Tiphany has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and the booking/pricing process is very straightforward and easy!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
I had a not so great 1st time mom breastfeeding experience & had zero intentions of breastfeeding my second child. BUT this second experience has been completely different. I absolutely LOVE Tiphany! She has completely saved my breastfeeding journey this time around, she is very knowledgeable & kind. She truly listens & makes you feel very comfortable. I am forever grateful for her & would recommend anyone to her! ❤️
Response from the owner:Hannah,

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful review. Your words mean the world to us. We are incredibly grateful that you gave breastfeeding another chance, and even more grateful that Tiphany could be part of your second journey.

Hearing that she helped transform your experience with her knowledge, kindness, and ability to truly listen is exactly why she does this work. Your trust in her and your willingness to try again is something we deeply appreciate.

We are honored to support you and your family, and your recommendation means so much. Thank you for letting us be part of this chapter with you. ❤️

I cannot recommend Suzanne enough for her exceptional expertise and compassionate care. Suzanne has been instrumental in the care of my son who has oral ties and struggling to feed and gain weight. Her dedication to her profession and genuine concern for her patients is seen and felt during sessions. Suzanne impressed me with her comprehensive understanding of breastfeeding challenges related to oral ties. What I appreciate most about Suzanne and her team is their personalized care. They didn't just address the immediate issue; they took the time to understand our unique goals, concerns, and mental health through this journey. Their supportive attitude created a warm and welcoming environment, making me feel genuinely cared for during a challenging time.
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah!
Thank you so much for our kind words!!! Bayou City Breastfeeding’s core mission is to care for the entire health of our clients: physical, emotional and mental.
We are so glad that Suzanne was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to guide you through the challenges of breastfeeding a baby with oral ties, who struggled to feed and gain weight. It was truly an honor and a privilege to be able to assist you in this journey.
Being a new parent is scary on a good day, so ensuring our families are in a safe and supportive environment is critical to us, and we are so glad to hear that you felt that way.
Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are so happy to have you in the Bayou City Breastfeeding family!!! 😊
Thank you!
