I've been working with Karen for 5 months now. She has been truly exceptional. She has idea galore, tips and tricks I've never heard (this is my 3rd kiddo) and sage, wise advice. I'm not sure if we would still be breastfeeding without her. She is a gem. I would absolutely recommend Karen and Bayou City Breastfeeding. Without a doubt!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. We think Karen is amazing too, and are so happy to have her on our team.

So grateful for Bayou city BF and especially Tiphany! My BF experience was incredibly positive, thanks in large part to the support and guidance she provided! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and encouraged me every step of the way, which has led to me BF for almost a year so far. Will take all my babies to her!
Response from the owner:Jen, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Tiphany’s support made such a meaningful impact on your breastfeeding journey. Her knowledge and encouragement truly shine through in everything she does, and your success is a wonderful testament to that. We’re incredibly grateful and honored to have been part of your postpartum team. Knowing that you plan to bring all your babies to us means the world to us. Thank you for trusting Bayou City Breastfeeding! With love and latches, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team

Bayou City Breastfeeding is a must! I booked a session right after having my baby when I discovered we were having issues with latching/feeding. I knew my baby wasn’t getting enough to eat early on and freaked out. I worked with Jennifer and she is great, I highly recommend her! She listens to your feeding goals and provided me with so many helpful tips! Tip for new moms, book one consultation before you deliver your baby so you can have a good feeding plan ahead of time then do follow-up appointments after baby is here.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!

Highly recommend this class for first time moms!! Jen was amazing and I feel so much more confident about my birth plan! It’s so comforting being educated on the subject to be able to make those hard decisions that arise during child birth!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Nicole! We're thrilled to hear that Jen’s class helped you feel more confident and empowered as you prepare for birth. That’s exactly why we do what we do—to make sure moms like you feel informed, supported, and ready to make the decisions that matter most.

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

Ali is amazing! I can’t express enough how much she has helped me through my breastfeeding journey. I have seen several specialist with Bayou City Breastfeeding and all experience have been wonderful. I give them full credit for the reason I am still breastfeeding at almost 1 year.
Response from the owner:Hi Carissa, Thank you for your glowing review! We are so happy that Ali was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools you needed to continue your breastfeeding journey. You should be so proud that you were able to breastfeed for a year! 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

Melissa was a godsend. My baby was born a full month early last September. I started seeing Melissa at the end of October after not having any success getting my baby to latch. She worked with not only helping my baby with latching but also with effectively pumping. When I was thinking about giving up on nursing, she let me know she supported me either way. I ultimately kept trying and with her help, I have been successfully nursing since the end of January. I will definitely be going back when I have my next baby.
Response from the owner:Hi Samantha, Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that Melissa was able to provide the support and guidance you needed during such a crucial time. Your journey, from the challenges of a premature birth to successfully nursing by the end of January, is truly inspiring. Melissa's dedication to helping you with both latching and pumping, and her unwavering support, clearly made a significant difference. We're so glad to know that you felt supported in your decision-making process and that Melissa's expertise helped you continue nursing. Your kind words will surely encourage other new mothers who might be facing similar challenges. We look forward to welcoming you back when you have your next baby. Thank you for choosing Alamo City Breastfeeding!

We needed help with increasing my daughters weight just a bit and Karen was able to help us reach our goals. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend especially for first time moms.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!

My newborn latched on & began feeding immediately after birth. I know that would not have been possible if I had not worked with a lactation consultant...
