I feel like they all care about my BF journey but I will say that I had a negative experience. Video was not sent to ENT post release and LC said “it looks beautiful” but it has already reattached.

Amanda at Bayou City Katy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all our questions and was able to guide us in the best directions to take with many different options for our personal situation. She was able to give us tips not only for what we should do with our infant but also gave us helpful advice on what I could do personally on my behalf to help in the process. She was patient, and we learned a lot, just from our initial visit.

It's great to know that her knowledge and patience made a positive impact on your experience.

Great class! Jen provides you with answers that you didn't even know you had questions to. Very informative. Also, real-life examples and simulation practice. We definitely felt more than prepared after taking this class.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Dee! We're thrilled to hear that Jen's class provided you with the answers you didn't even realize you needed. Preparing for childbirth can be overwhelming, but it's wonderful to know that the real-life examples and hands-on practice helped you feel confident and ready.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathy Lenert. She has gone above and beyond for me and my baby . Her support has been genuine, patient, and deeply compassionate during one of the hardest phases of new motherhood. She always makes me feel heard, understood, and cared for — not just as a feeding parent, but as a whole person. After my son’s tongue tie release she went above and beyond to call me to check in and was very supportive.
Her guidance has made such a difference in our breastfeeding journey, and I’m truly grateful for her dedication. She is a rare gem and I recommend her wholeheartedly to any new mom.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience. We are truly touched by your kind words about Kathy. Supporting families through the challenges of early parenthood is at the heart of what we do, and it means the world to know that Kathy’s compassion, patience, and dedication made such a difference for you and your baby. Your story beautifully reflects the care and commitment Kathy brings to every family she works with — ensuring parents feel heard, understood, and supported as whole individuals. We’re especially glad her follow-up after your son’s tongue tie release brought you comfort during such an important moment in your journey. We are honored to walk alongside you in this chapter of motherhood, and your wholehearted recommendation is deeply appreciated. Thank you for trusting Bayou City Breastfeeding — and Kathy — to be part of your family’s story. 💜 With love and latches, 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

I watched courses, I read books about breastfeeding and naively thought “I got this”
After a week of crying and being frustrated with feeding we started our journey with Karen and she is wonderful. Lots of knowledge and slowly but surely we are progressing. I appreciate her guidance while we are figuring this out.
It’s lovely to know that I am not alone and there is help out there.
Thank you Karen!
Response from the owner:Hi Blanka! 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 Karen and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you with your breastfeeding journey. 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

Kristin was fantastic. She came out to my home, she was totally a calm presence and provided an excellent assessment of my son’s latch, oral anatomy and neck muscles. She gave me exercises to do with Max to work on relaxing his mouth/lips for a more open gape to improve his latch. She gave me new positions to try for a deeper latch and more comfort which drastically reduced if not eliminated my nipple pain. She did weighted feeds so we knew how much Max consumed at each breast. This gave me a lot of confidence. We even talked about pumping and flange sizing and bottle feeding when I return to work. I am looking forward to our follow up appointment in two weeks.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!

Britni was AMAZING! My breasts were so swollen, engorged and tender at our first appointment but less than a week later I felt great! She helped me bring down my oversupply and engorgement and now I feel great! Can’t recommend her enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!

I was extremely happy with the experience I had with Ali with Bayou City Breastfeeding! She came to my home in Montgomery, TX to evaluate my 2 week old baby and me. I was having difficulties with breastfeeding, and Ali was able to identify my baby’s issue almost immediately. She helped us come up with a plan to help with the issue, helped me navigate my breast pump, and gave us tips to make our feeding experience as good as possible. Ali was so sweet and made us feel very comfortable- not to mention, very knowledgeable! The communication from start to finish with all the staff was also great! Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!

I’ve told all of my new mama friends to visit Bayou City Breastfeeding. The consultants are amazing & helped me SO much as a new mom! I was able to meet my breastfeeding goal with their help. They answered all of my questions and always made me feel supported as I figured out my rhythm with my new baby. So grateful!
Response from the owner:Hi Jane, 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. 😊 We are so happy that you allowed us to be part of your support team and that we were able to provide you the encouragement and tools necessary to meet your breastfeeding goals. Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
