Second kiddo and a whole new set of obstacles on our journey, Bayou City Breastfeeding has been there with us every step of the way. They have helped us with SNS feeding, pumping, formula feeding, low supply, tongue and lip ties, body work, pediatric chiropractic referrals, everything under the sun that has been thrown at us. We never would have been able to come as far as we have without the support we've received from this team.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Love this place! Katelyn has been so helpful with my breastfeeding journey. Truly grateful to have a place dedicated to help women feel comfortable and knowledgeable during postpartum. I would have never known my baby had a lip tie and tongue tie if it wasn’t for Katelyn. I wasn’t getting any sleep and once we clipped our baby’s tongue we had a huge improvement right away and I was able to sleep more than 1.5 hours.
Response from the owner:Hi Liz, 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 and who are facing similar sleepless nights with little ones with undiagnosed ties. It is our mission to provide our parents with all the knowledge, support and encouragement they need to overcome anything that comes along on their breastfeeding journeys. We are so happy that Katelyn was the perfect IBCLC for you! Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you!

Dana at Bayou City Breastfeeding is the best! My baby girl and I were nursing well until she was around 7 weeks old and things seemed to unravel. I’ve had several appointments with Dana now and each time she is a calming and encouraging voice. Each time I’m learning how I can help make things easier for my child’s nursing journey. I have recommended Dana to other friends of mine who may need a lactation consultant in the future. Dana absolutely saved me in a very difficult time and she’s the reason I didn’t give up on nursing when things were hard! If you need help or encouragement, I highly recommend Dana at Bayou City Breastfeeding. She’s absolutely amazing!
Response from the owner:Hello Creel, We sincerely appreciate your glowing review! 😊 Dana truly is amazing, and we’re thrilled that she was the perfect IBCLC to guide you through the challenges you faced on your breastfeeding journey. We understand how daunting it can be for new parents, so ensuring our families feel safe and supported is our top priority. We’re delighted that you felt that way! Thank you also for recommending Dana and Bayou City Breastfeeding to your friends. Your endorsement means the world to us! 🙌 Should you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you! Warm regards, Bayou City Breastfeeding
I love Bayou City Breastfeeding! I believe that my LC Karen’s support and knowledge has helped me continue my breastfeeding journey.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Kathy exceeded my expectations as a first time mom visiting a lactation consultant. I felt comfortable, supported, and not rushed at all. She was extremely thorough and thoughtful in her evaluations and observations of me and my baby. I left my appointment feeling confident and well informed.
Response from the owner:Hello Victoria, Thank you for your review!!!! 😊 We are so happy that Kathy was the perfect IBCLC for you and gave you confidence to continue 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
Went from my baby boy NOT being able to latch (exclusively pumping), to using a nipple shield, to direct breastfeeding and the whole process was under the guidance of Tessa. I cannot recommend bayou city breastfeeding enough! It’s been an amazing experience. All my visits were relaxing and impactful. All my questions were answered- Tessa and the other ibclc’s are too knowledgeable for their own good 🤣. Any mama looking for assistance in their breastfeeding journey should look no further!!
Response from the owner:Hi Atem! Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience and kind words with us!!! Moving from exclusive pumping to breastfeeding at the breast is quite a feat! Congratulations on your dedication and determination! We feel honored that you placed your trust in Tessa and Bayou City Breastfeeding during your challenging breastfeeding journey. 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
I’ve been working with Suzanne to get my baby back to the breast after being born prematurely. Highly recommend for evidence based lactation assistance!

We feel honored and humbled that you placed your trust in Bayou City Breastfeeding and that our evidence-based lactation techniques were successful. 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!

Amazing support in such a difficult time that’s trying to breastfeed your baby. My consultant was Karen and I have no words to describe the help, patience and knowledge shared.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review, we are so blessed to have Karen on our team<3
Tiphany and Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation were such a blessing! They provided incredible support and helped me through the toughest part of my little one and my breastfeeding journey! I would strongly recommend their services to all breastfeeding mamas. This is baby #3 for me and I truly wish I knew about these specialists with my first and second born.
Response from the owner:Hi V! Thank you for your glowing recommendation! But you are the one that did all the hard work!!! We are so glad that Tiphany was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to guide you through the challenges you faced during your breastfeeding journey. It was truly an honor and a privilege to be part of your support team. If there is anything else we can do to help you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are always here for you! Warmly, Bayou City Breastfeeding
Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn't the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos...
