We’ve been working with Megan to help our little guy (and me) have a better nursing experience. She has been nothing short of wonderful! Megan is very patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She has expertly answered all of our questions, supported us as issues arise, and been instrumental in guiding us through his tongue tie journey. We’re really grateful to have the opportunity to work with her and couldn’t recommend strongly enough. If you’re on the fence about working with a consultant—do it!
Response from the owner:Hi Meghan! 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 Megan was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools necessary to overcome the obstacles you faced on your tongue-tie and breastfeeding journeys. 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 love this place.
So greatful for Ms. Nicole, without her I wouldn’t have kept breastfeeding. She’s very knowledgeable, and listens to my concerns to try to get to the root of the problem. I’m thankful I have someone to guide me in this vulnerable stage of life. I also recommend Dr. Emily and the bodywork that’s been so helpful aswell!
Response from the owner:Hi Lluvia! Thank you for your glowing review!!! It is wonderful to hear that you and your little one benefited from both our Bodywork (chiropractic) and Lactation services! Also, thank you for sharing how both Dr. Emily and Nicole were able to support you on 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
I’m a first time mom and don’t really know what I’m doing as far as breastfeeding so I scheduled an appointment just to see what they had to say and after a 2 hour appointment I learned so much. More than I even knew to ask. They cover a lot more than just latching and scheduling and the very basics that I was expecting. I have so much more confidence in my breastfeeding journey and just motherhood as a whole now that I have them by my side
Response from the owner:Hi Sharee, Thank you for your review!!!! 😊 Being a first-time mom is daunting and scary on a good day! We are delighted to hear that your consultation exceeded your expectations and that the IBCLCs and staff at Bayou City Breastfeeding gave you the confidence you needed to start and continue your breastfeeding journey. We are sure that you have just helped other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊 Just remember, you’ve got this!!!! 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
Ariel was very helpful and extremely supportive throughout the few weeks I was seeing her. She kept my own goals in mind when helping me which I found very validating and non judgmental. I highly recommend!

It’s always worth it. Ariel was very kind to me early on in the online triage. Kathy has come in person twice and she is amazing. She is always extra helpful sharing her vast experience. They’re very professional.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your journey!
Mary was an amazing IBCLC. She spent hours listening, working with us, and consulting different resources to get our 4.5 lb emergency C-section baby from...
I’ve reviewed bayou city breastfeeding before with my first born and it was fantastic. I’m here to write a second review since we used them again for my second baby. I thought everything was going well until week 8 when we started to see bottle refusal and over just general fussiness and not sleeping longer than an hour. We saw Ariel for what we thought was bottle refusal. Ariel listened to a bunch of information we threw at her, patiently let us show her what was happening, and had it figured out in minutes. She identified a tongue tie that another LC and a pediatrician had both missed, referred us to a wonderful dentist and within two weeks, our baby was back and feeding better than before. It’s also important to note Ariel did not push to have the tie released or pressure us into anything. She simply told us what she saw and referred us to several great specialists. We cannot thank Ariel enough for being so incredible at her job. We feel so lucky to have found Bayou City Breastfeeding. Thank you Ariel and team!!
Response from the owner:Hi Ally, Thank you so much for your glowing review and for sharing your positive experience with us. We are humbled that you have entrusted us with the care of both your babies. 😊 It is wonderful to hear that Ariel Brewer was able to catch the tongue tie that other medical practitioners missed. We understand how frightening it can be when your baby is refusing a bottle and not eating well. Ensuring our families feel supported and informed to make their own care decisions is critical to us. We are thrilled that you felt this way. Thank you for being a part of the Bayou City Breastfeeding family! Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you! 😊 Warm regards, Bayou City Breastfeeding
Wow! If you are trying to find a place that will take the time to talk to you and help you with your breastfeeding needs, this is it. My consult was 1 hour 20 min, and our lactation specialist was helpful and had such great information and tips. She helped me latch my baby and gave me great feedback on how to do it, which is what I’m struggling with. She evaluated my baby as well and gave us exercises to do at home to help with the lip and tongue ties. She scheduled a follow up visit to see our progress in the next week. All in all, so grateful to have this resource. Highly recommend it!

And you can text them to communicate! Hello, this is so helpful for parents, instead of waiting on hold for 20 min to make an appointment.
Response from the owner:Hey Llasmin, We’re absolutely delighted to read your review! It’s heartening to hear that our lactation specialist provided you with the support and tips you needed. Your mention of the thorough consult, helpful advice on latching, and personalized exercises for lip and tongue ties reflects the dedication Bayou City Breastfeeding strives for. We’re also glad that the texting option added convenience to your experience. Thank you for recommending us and highlighting the efforts we put into making this resource accessible and effective. We're here for you anytime, and we can’t wait to assist you again. Thank you for spreading the word! We are so glad to have you in the BCB family! All the best, Team Bayou City Breastfeeding
