Highly recommend Lisa Smelek! She was so helpful and knowledgeable, and our visits were very comfortable and enjoyable. We made great progress, and I’m thankful to have found her!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Donique was extremely helpful during my consultation visit. I learned so much about the lactation process and nursing in general that made me feel ready to take on the challenge once my baby is born. I cannot recommend Donique and Bayou Breastfeeding more.
Response from the owner:Raisa, Thank you so much for your kind words!!! We are thrilled to hear how much Donique and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you. Being a new mom and starting the process of breastfeeding can be overwhelming. Getting instruction before delivery is a testament to your love and commitment to your baby’s health. We are so happy that Donique was the perfect IBCLC for you! Good luck with your breastfeeding journey!!!! You can do it!!!! 😊 Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!
The lactation consultants I worked with - Megan and a few trainees - were so helpful in giving me confidence and tools to make my breastfeeding journey successful and enjoyable. My son and I are doing so well today in part because of their support. I liked that there were options for virtual, in home and in office depending on our needs and how we were doing on any given day. The online messaging with quick responses was also super helpful. I felt like they truly cared for us and especially for my son and could share their experience as well. I highly recommend their services!! They also bill insurance which can be hard to find!
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation!!! It is our mission to reduce as much stress as possible for our clients and to provide them with all the tools necessary to have a successful breastfeeding journey. We are so pleased that you benefitted from all three of our appointment options, virtual, in office and, in home and that your IBCLC, Megan, was so responsive to your online questions. Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you! Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
I am almost 5 months PP, and I would not still be breastfeeding if not for Bayou City Breastfeeding and my lactation consultant, Tiphany. I highly recommend this practice. Breastfeeding may be natural, but it does not come easy. Tiphany helped me ensure my baby got a good latch from the very beginning which helped ease the pain that necessarily comes with learning to breastfeed. Even after we had a good latch established, she has helped with other issues that have arisen, which has helped me continue breastfeeding when I may otherwise have stopped. She has also been a really helpful source for selecting bottles, pacifiers, and toys for good oral motor development that do not interfere with my baby’s breastfeeding skills. I feel confident that I can breastfeed beyond my original goal of 6 months because of the skills I’ve learned. Highly highly recommend this practice for anyone who wants to breastfeed.
Response from the owner:Hi Kelsey! We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and kind words with us. Making the commitment to breastfeed can be a challenge. Kudos for sticking with it! We are so glad that Tiphany was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. 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
LOVED my experience with Suzanne
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Nichol is very patient. She gave us a lot of workable ideas and information to boost my breast milk.
Response from the owner:Hi Cuiling, Thank you for your kind review!!! We are so happy that Nicole and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to provide you the help and resources you needed to increase your milk supply. We hope this made for a successful and less stressful breastfeeding journey. Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Warmly, Bayou City Breastfeeding
I had such a great visit & experience with Mary, I am so glad I chose Bayou City! My experience was warm & not rushed, we spent the better of 2 hours together & she really got to know me & my baby. She checked things you’d expect your pedi to check but they don’t always. I’m having low supply issues & thought I had tried everything but Mary still gave me good information & things to try that I haven’t. If you’re considering visiting an LC, do it!!! 10/10 Id recommend Bayou City to anyone breastfeeding!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!
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...
An amazing experience. Jennifer was great. Our session was extremely educational. She was very helpful and made me feel super comfortable answered all of my questions and concerns. 🤍
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
I have used Jessica from Bayou City Breastfeeding now for both of my children. She was instrumental in making sure that we were successful in breastfeeding, allowing me to get off to a good start with my second and to nurse for close to two years with my first. She is responsive and went above and beyond to be available for appointments and questions. I would recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to anyone looking for lactation support!
Response from the owner:Hi Christina! We really appreciate you sharing your positive experience and kind words with us!!! We feel honored that your family has placed its trust in Jessica and Bayou City Breastfeeding, not once, but twice! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your support team. 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
