Love this place! Katelyn has been so helpful with my breastfeeding journey. Truly grateful to have a place dedicated to help women feel comfortable and knowledgeable during postpartum. I would have never known my baby had a lip tie and tongue tie if it wasn’t for Katelyn. I wasn’t getting any sleep and once we clipped our baby’s tongue we had a huge improvement right away and I was able to sleep more than 1.5 hours.
Response from the owner:Hi Liz, Thank you for your review!!! We are sure that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant and who are facing similar sleepless nights with little ones with undiagnosed ties. It is our mission to provide our parents with all the knowledge, support and encouragement they need to overcome anything that comes along on their breastfeeding journeys. We are so happy that Katelyn was the perfect IBCLC for you! Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you!

Tessa is a wealth of information and practical instruction. She provides evidenced based information while encouraging the mother's innate intuition. When 1st met with Tessa for a prenatal visit the week of our baby's due date, which set us up for success. Afterwards, we met with Tessa at 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months (rough estimates). I cannot emphasize how helpful she is, especially as a first time mom & breastfeeder. If you're on the fence, just do it.
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Tessa and Bayou City Breastfeeding. It's wonderful to hear how our prenatal and lactation consultations have supported your breastfeeding journey, especially as a first-time mom. We're thrilled that Tessa's blend of evidence-based information and encouragement has been instrumental for you. Your story will surely inspire other new parents considering lactation support. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance, or if there's more we can do to support you and your family. Thank you again for choosing Bayou City Breastfeeding! Warm regards, Bayou City Breastfeeding

Tiphany was amazing! She helped transform our breastfeeding journey and changed our lives. She was patient with me and I always felt extremely informed by her when it came to anything she was recommending us to do and any extra care (chiropractic/tie revisions/etc). She is professional and relatable. If I have any issues going forward, I will definitely be reaching back out for another follow-up. If I could give 10 stars, I would!
Response from the owner:Hi Leslie! Thank you so much for your glowing review! It is wonderful to hear that you and your baby benefited from both our Bodywork (chiropractic) and Lactation services!!!! So glad that Tiphany 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

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

Absolutely love Suzanne. She is a wealth of knowledge, truly cares about you and your babies journey, and has great recommendations across the board. She is like a warm hug every time! I would and will recommend any mommas needing help to her over and over.
Response from the owner:Hi Casey! Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We’re overjoyed to hear how much Suzanne’s care and expertise meant to you. Describing her as “a warm hug every time” truly captures the spirit she brings to every visit — nurturing, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to each family's journey. It’s an honor to be part of your support system, and we’re so grateful for your trust and enthusiastic recommendation. Moms like you inspire everything we do at Bayou City Breastfeeding. All the best, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team

My experience with Kristen here at BCB has been amazing! I felt alone in this process at the beginning but Kristen has made my journey much better; an expert and friend. My experience has eliminated any stress I had about breastfeeding/pumping and my journey back to work after my short leave. The education level I have gained from my appointments has made me a successful and happy breastfeeding mom. I cannot say enough good things about BCB! I would highly recommended them for your prenatal and postnatal needs.
Response from the owner:Hi Shelby, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us and for your encouragement to other working mothers. We are thrilled to hear how much Kristen and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you and your family. Being a working mom with a baby that is still breastfeeding can be challenging. We are so happy that Kristen was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the tools and guidance necessary to stay on your breastfeeding journey after returning to work. Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
Karen
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. 🌸😊

I came here to try to induce lactation after we adopted our son. Mandy helped me get a supply going, and also answered my myriad questions about caring for our first baby. We also did bodywork here to address his tension and help with painful latching. Highly recommend coming here for any breastfeeding needs!
Response from the owner:Hello Helen! Thank you for your glowing recommendation! It’s wonderful to hear that you and your family benefitted from Bayou City Breastfeeding’s lactation and bodywork services. We are so glad that Mandy was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to guide you through the process of inducing lactation to breastfeed your adopted baby. 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!
