Suzanne is incredible. I don’t live in the Houston area anymore but I still do virtual consultations because they are THAT good. Highly recommend.

So thankful for Suzanne! I wish every mom would have access to someone like her. She has help make a huge difference in my breastfeeding journey and I don’t fear any obstacles or changes that may arise as my little one grows because I know I have Suzanne to guide me. Suzanne is passionate about what she does and she not only cares about your breastfeeding success but she cares about you and your well-being as a postpartum mom.

I met with Claire after having issues with aggressive letdown and oversupply that was causing painful feedings for baby and I. She helped with the letdown and supply, while also teaching me more comfortable positions and aids to help with better feedings all around. I’m incredibly thankful to have found Claire and Bayou City Breastfeeding and will continue our feeding journey with them happily!
Response from the owner:Hi Lauren,
We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words with us. Your words will surely help others experiencing a similar situation with letdown and oversupply.

We are so happy that Claire was able to provide you the encouragement and help necessary to continue your breastfeeding journey.

Please let us know if there is any additional guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊

Thank you!

Working with Suzanne has been a great experience. She is very knowledgeable, gives great solutions to problems and always answers questions even outside of appointments. I had a difficult start to my nursing journey but she helped me improve and solidify my nursing relationship with my little one and I’m very thankful for all of her help!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Lauren Wendes
Jen is amazing! She is so helpful and thorough. She has taught me so much about nursing and increased my confidence each time I see her. I don’t know how I fed 2 babies before without her!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Julianne Perkins
Going to this appointment was very eye-opening! It is my first baby and she is eating and gaining weight fine, but I had noticed some signs over the past two weeks that were a little concerning to me and I wanted to learn more. The nurse was super informative, educated me on a ton of things I had never thought about in relation to breastfeeding position, latch, oral exercises, etc. I am definitely glad I went and will be following up soon. These appointments are for anyone and you can learn so much even if you think everything is going well so far!
Response from the owner:Hi Julianne!

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 at Bayou City Breastfeeding was able to provide you with the encouragement and tools necessary to continue on your breastfeeding journey. Just know that you are doing the hard part: ensuring the continued health of your baby. 😊

Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. See you soon!!! 😊

Thank you!

I cannot express how much I’ve enjoyed my experience here! I’ve worked with both Karen and Mandy, and they have both helped me as a new mom. I’m not sure I wouldn’t gotten through the first few months without them! 10/10 recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Avery! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with Bayou City Breastfeeding has been so positive. Karen and Mandy will be delighted to know how much their support meant to you during those early months. Helping new moms feel confident and supported is exactly why we do what we do! We truly appreciate your recommendation and are honored to be part of your journey. 💜
