I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bayou City Breastfeeding! We’ve been seeing Tessa and she is the absolute best! We had some latch problems with our baby from the beginning and after our first visit, Tessa gave us exercises to help and it suddenly clicked for us! Our visits are so detailed and personal, much more time than the pediatrician will spend with us! Not only did Tessa help with latch and lactation, she’s also helped us with general questions about newborn care. As first time parents, we’ve been so overwhelmed with all the information on the internet and Tessa is so patient and reassuring with all of our questions. She also has so many tips and tricks to help us care for our little girl! We are so incredibly thankful to work with her!
Response from the owner:🌟 Thank you so much, Haelee, for your kind and thoughtful words! We're beyond grateful to hear how impactful your experience with Tessa has been. She truly has a gift for blending clinical expertise with compassionate care, and we're thrilled that her guidance helped things "click" for you and your little one. Being a first-time parent comes with so many questions and emotions, and it's wonderful to know that Tessa was able to offer the reassurance, time, and personalized support you needed. From latch challenges to newborn care tips, she’s passionate about walking alongside families every step of the way—and your feedback means the world to her and to all of us at Bayou City Breastfeeding. Thank you again for trusting us during such a special season. We’re honored to be part of your journey! 💗

My wife and I have had 2 babies both with tongue ties and lip ties. So much pain with breastfeeding, so much difficulty with getting a good latch, so much...
I’ve delivered my first baby 3 weeks earlier and she stayed in NICU for few days which makes it difficult to breastfeed her. Later I kept struggling to make her latch and when she did latch I’ve never been able to keep her latched. Also, I was having difficulties with positioning. I seek Bayou City Breastfeeding for help and the amazing LC Kyna got assigned to me. Kyna first taught me how to set and hold the baby for the breastfeeding, and she taught me some mouth and cheeks exercises to train the baby how to latch. In few seconds my baby was able to latch and she refused to let it go 😊 …. Kyna showed me how to use the breast bump correctly and how to choose the right size that will be comfortable and not painful. She also shared some useful resources that will help with the journey of breast feeding. I was very happy after our first session with Kyna. We met again for several follow up sessions and each time she taught me something new. My baby now is 3 months and she cried for the breastfeeding than the bottle feeding. Each time I breastfeed her I wish i can call Kyna to say thank you. Words are not enough Kyna ❤️
Response from the owner:Hi Haifa! 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 Kyna was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and help needed to start 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
since i found out i was pregnant i knew i wanted to breastfeed. all the nutrients and bonding my baby would get was so important to me. having a traumatic birth made it hard for my little one to latch and feel comfortable breast feeding. seeking lactation help made a huge impact! once i saw tania she was so supportive and knowledgeable. she was able to tell me my baby had a tongue tie after being told by 3 different doctors “no she didn’t or it’s not bad enough to affect her feeding”. i was able to start bodywork to help my baby feel comfortable in her body and get her frenotomy done! tania supported me through everything and wouldn’t give up on helping me achieve my goal of breastfeeding after 5 months of lactation vista and bodywork my baby can now breastfeed efficiently! a BIG THANK YOU to everyone at bayou city who helped!!
