I've never been to a lactation consult before so I didn't know what to expect. I had a great experience with Melissa! She was really friendly and informative. Very easy to get along with. Breastfeeding and pumping when at work has been difficult but after meeting with Melissa, I feel better about my journey. Looking forward to our follow up appointment.

We had a wonderful experience with all the ladies! Ms. Suzanne helped tremendously with all the questions and concerns I had once my baby had his tongue/cheek/lip ties released

The ladies (Karen & Suzanne) at Bayou City Breastfeeding have been a godsend. They immediately made me feel welcomed and comfortable. They’ve taught me SO much about breastfeeding that I had no idea about, despite all of my “internet research”. My son had a tongue/lip tie revision that reattached. I’m amazed by the work they put in to work with the pediatric dentist and the family to provide the best care for the best outcome.. without them my sons tie would still be reattached & we’d be right back at square one. I also have to say, Suzanne works so hard with making sure families can afford lactation services from providing the grant program to working with insurance companies. My family cannot say thank you enough to these ladies for helping with our breastfeeding journey.

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! With love and latches, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team

Claire is wonderful! She is easy to talk to and works well with my chiropractor, Dr.Jade. She has helped me and my son immensely on our breastfeeding journey.
Response from the owner:Hi Katherine, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear how Claire’s expertise, along with the collaboration with Dr. Jade, has made such a positive impact on your breastfeeding journey. Your words about Claire’s wonderful support and ease of communication truly highlight her dedication. We’re here to continue supporting you and your son whenever you need us. Thank you!!!

WORTH IT. Time, money, everything. Book the appointment.

Being in the newborn trenches for a third time and two successful prior breastfeeding experiences, I debated on scheduling an appointment. My primary concern was over-active letdown and pump fitting. Wasn’t sure I’d learn much more than I already knew or could google. Incorrect. I saw Kathy Lenert, an absolute wealth of information. I was impressed at her ability to teach, be hands on, and remember all of my needs. Was given extensive after-visit summary, which I appreciated. Truly wish I had seen her with all my kids.

Practical tips: Bring a helper and TAKE NOTES. I learned so so much. Parking is easy. Elevator is a bit small if you have a monster (large) stroller - but should fit. Will not fit more than two people and a stroller though.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Patricia, for this glowing review! We’re delighted to hear that Kathy was able to provide you with such an incredible experience. Her hands-on approach and knack for addressing individual needs are exactly what make her such a treasure to us and the families we serve. We love your practical tips, too—bring a helper and take notes are spot-on advice. And thanks for pointing out the parking ease and elevator quirkiness—monster stroller owners, you’ve been warned (but reassured!). Your kind words mean the world to us, especially coming from a seasoned mom like yourself. If only we’d had the pleasure of seeing you with all your kiddos! But we’re so glad you chose to visit us this time around. Here's to smoother pump fittings and calmer letdowns! Wishing you all the best on this journey and beyond. 💕

I exclusively pump with my first baby and when Leo was born I decided I was going to reach out for help to make it work this time. Nicole has been amazing help during my breastfeeding journey this time around. She has been patient, and she has share her knowledge with me which has allow me to be confident. She has help me with latch and positioning and even discover a lip tie which we decided to not release but instead do body work. Nicole has been supportive in our decision and has provided me with tips and tricks to help my baby improve his latch. We have been EBF for 10 weeks now and all because of Nicole and BCB! I am so grateful I found Bayou City Breastfeeding 🤱!

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!

Tiphany was absolutely wonderful today. She is so knowledgeable in all things breastfeeding and helped me and my little guy tremendously. I lost faith in the lactation consultants at the hospital where I delivered and Tiphany completely changed my mind. It is apparent when talking to her that she knows her stuff and truly has a passion for her job. I highly, highly recommend her and Bayou City Breastfeeding!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
