We had regular appointments with Ms. Karen Swan for 6 weeks. She was wonderful! I can't recommend a better place for a lactation consultant in the Katy area!
Response from the owner:Hi Ana! Thank you so much for entrusting Karen and Bayou City Breastfeeding with your lactation care. We know that Karen and the rest of our Katy team is top notch! We really appreciate the kind review and 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
Jesika Scott
Love Mandy! Small world, she was my Labor & Delivery nurse for my firstborn. When I made an appointment to see a Lactation Consultant for my second child, I was surprised to see her! It was very special to have her be a part of our lives for both children. Anytime I had questions, she was quick to respond. Very knowledgeable and positive!
Response from the owner:Hi Jesika! It definitely is a small world! Mandy was meant to play a role in the lives of both of your babies. 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and kind words with us. We are so happy that Mandy was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools necessary 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 here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
Kayla Gutierrez
Very knowledgeable and personable. I just learned so much from her even after working with a previous lactation consultant.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! So happy we could help!
Yiressy Izaguirre Baday
I have had a great experience with Bayou City Breastfeeding. They really made scheduling the appointment convenient and offered me a triage visit to provide guidance as I wanted for the appointment. When I met with my consultant Katelyn she was very supportive and understanding. I appreciated that she focused on my mental health just as much as my baby’s welllbeing. I now feel more confident breastfeeding my baby when previously I was almost ready to quit.
Response from the owner:Hi Yiressy, 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 to hear that your IBCLC, Katelyn at Bayou City Breastfeeding was able to provide you with the encouragement and tools necessary to start you on your breastfeeding journey. Our mission is to reduce the stress of the postpartum period as much as possible. That means making appointment scheduling as easy as possible. Your wellbeing and less stress is crucial to a successful breastfeeding journey! 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

I am so grateful for Priscilla, from the very beginning she wanted to make sure how I was doing and always there for any support I needed. I worked with her for my sons tongue tie release and BF/feeding support. I am thankful I had her help and also got to work with Mandy and Karen (at the pediatric dentist) for the release. I would also see them in the office and they truly care about all of their patients. Thank you ladies for all of your help!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Brooke! Your kind words truly warmed our hearts. It was an absolute honor for Priscilla to walk alongside you during your feeding journey—and we’re so glad she could offer the support and care you needed, every step of the way. We'll be sure to share your appreciation with Mandy and Karen, too—they’ll be thrilled to know they made a difference. Nothing makes us happier than knowing you felt seen, supported, and empowered. Thank you for letting us be a part of such a special chapter in your family's story!

Kathy Lenert was absolutely wonderful! It was obvious that she has a ton of knowledge and experience. She was kind and really made me feel like she cared about me and baby. Would recommend her to anyone!
Response from the owner:Hi Lauren! Thank you for your review!!!! 😊 We are so happy that Kathy was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools necessary to kick start your breastfeeding 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 here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
Regan Henderson
Jessica has been a huge blessing in my life since having my first baby and now to have the peace of mind and confidence derived from her support is just truly such a gift! I’m so thankful and looking forward to another successful breastfeeding experience with baby number 2 thanks to her! I couldn’t feel more prepared going into my delivery.
Response from the owner:Hi Regan, Thank you so much for your kind words!!! We think Jessica is a blessing too and are so pleased that she was the perfect IBCLC for you. Being a new parent can be overwhelming. We are so glad that Jessica was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. We are also looking forward to helping with baby #2! 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

Nicole was an amazing help to me as a first time mom! I was able to get a house call scheduled super quick, highly recommend BCB!
Abby Rodriguez
Had a wonderful experience with Amanda today! I felt heard and understood and never any pressure to do something I wasn't comfortable with. The assessment was very thorough and the appointment ended with me feeling more in control. Definitely recommended!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Abigail Bieniawski
Katelyn Kleiber is great!! We had a home visit with her for a preventative consultation. She was great in providing feedback and making us feel comfortable. She was so gentle with my three-week-old and greatly improved my confidence with breastfeeding by offering corrections and education :) Would recommend Katelyn Kleiber again and again!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
