We had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Jennifer. She helped us with preoperative preparation for our baby's tongue tie release, in addition to guidance through lactation issues and postoperative wound checks with ongoing guidance. If only insurance companies truly understood the invaluable things that can be achieved through lactation consultants! Thank you for everything and helping our baby.
Response from the owner:Hi Sydney!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words.
We are truly delighted that Jennifer was able to support you through the entire tongue tie journey from preparation to healing. Tongue and oral tie treatment can come with so many questions, and it means so much to us that Jen could help guide you through each step with confidence and care.
We share your hope that insurance companies will one day recognize the incredible value that skilled IBCLCs bring to families. Their work goes far beyond latch support, and your experience is a beautiful example of that.
Thank you for trusting Jennifer and Bayou City Breastfeeding with your baby’s care. Your appreciation means more to us than you know.
With love and latches,
The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team
Ali is amazing! I can’t express enough how much she has helped me through my breastfeeding journey. I have seen several specialist with Bayou City Breastfeeding and all experience have been wonderful. I give them full credit for the reason I am still breastfeeding at almost 1 year.
Response from the owner:Hi Carissa,
Thank you for your glowing review! We are so happy that Ali was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools you needed to continue your breastfeeding journey.
You should be so proud that you were able to breastfeed for a year! That is quite a feat!

Tiphany was absolutely wonderful today. She is so knowledgeable in all things breastfeeding and helped me and my little guy tremendously. I lost faith in the lactation consultants at the hospital where I delivered and Tiphany completely changed my mind. It is apparent when talking to her that she knows her stuff and truly has a passion for her job. I highly, highly recommend her and Bayou City Breastfeeding!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
I am so thankful that I was referred to BCB from a pediatric dentist in the area. He recommended that I visit the Kingwood office for a combo visit which includes ~ body work (with a chiropractor) and also a session with the lactation consultant. My daughter who was scheduled to have her oral restriction (tongue tie) remediated demonstrated a painful latch, weight loss at 10%, etc. After several combo visits and some lactation only visits, we fell into a groove with nursing and at 3 months we have not had to follow through with the remediation surgery. I highly recommend BCB. All of their staff is phenomenal.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
I highly recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding! They helped me overcome so many challenges with breastfeeding. I saw them with my first and now with my second.
Response from the owner:We feel honored that your family has placed its trust in Bayou City Breastfeeding, not once, but twice! Thank you for your kind review and for allowing us to be part of your support team.

The ladies (Karen & Suzanne) at Bayou City Breastfeeding have been a godsend. They immediately made me feel welcomed and comfortable. They’ve taught me SO much about breastfeeding that I had no idea about, despite all of my “internet research”. My son had a tongue/lip tie revision that reattached. I’m amazed by the work they put in to work with the pediatric dentist and the family to provide the best care for the best outcome.. without them my sons tie would still be reattached & we’d be right back at square one. I also have to say, Suzanne works so hard with making sure families can afford lactation services from providing the grant program to working with insurance companies. My family cannot say thank you enough to these ladies for helping with our breastfeeding journey.
Kathy is absolutely wonderful. Very patient and very informative. My daughter has made so much improvement since coming to Bayou City Breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Hello Bee,
We greatly appreciate 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 stay on your breastfeeding journey.

We love Suzanne..we have been thru 2 kids, 2 revision procedures and 2 totally different breastfeeding experiences.. one with just enough (sometimes not enough) and with an oversupply.. if i had to do it again i would choose her again and again to help with my breastfeeding journeys!!!
Response from the owner:Ashley,

Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience with us and for choosing Bayou City Breastfeeding to see you through multiple breastfeeding journeys. As you said, each journey is different and comes with its own set of obstacles (and breakthoughs!) :-).

We truly appreciate your kind words. But remember, you did all the hard work. We are so pleased that BCB was able to help.
Don't hesitate to reach out it you need anything else!

I saw Jennifer 3 weeks after my baby had her her tongue tie release. Jennifer provided me with so much education on stretches, homeopathic pain relief, overall tongue tie healing, flange sizing for pumping, everything breastfeeding, and supplements good for lactation and hormonal balancing. Her help has been invaluable. She met with us weekly and it is because of Jennifer that my baby had gained range of motion in her tongue even with some reattachment. I highly recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding for anyone looking for lactation support.
Response from the owner:Hi Eileen,
Thank you for your review!!!! 😊 There are certainly others who are facing similar issues with latching, tongue tie and painful breastfeeding. 😊

We are so happy that Jennifer was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement, support and help needed to continue your breastfeeding journey. Just remember you did ALL the hard work to ensure that your baby thrived!!! You are the superhero and should be proud of yourself!!!! 😊
