I cannot speak enough praise for Bayou City, specifically Claire J and Brandy (who we met a few times!). Claire is my go to gal for all things breastfeeding for mom and baby. I’m a nicu nurse and have completed coursework myself to become a CLC, and I know MANY LCs, but none compare to Claire. She is so dedicated and is a vast wealth of knowledge. We live in Dallas and were connected to Claire through a mutual friend after a complicated tie release when my daughter was almost completely aversive to the breast and would not take a bottle. I was very close to requesting a feeding tube from my pediatrician. Claire met with me virtually multiple times, even on the day after Christmas, and she was able to help my daughter be receptive to feeding consistently in a matter of 48 hours. In the months to come, we visited Claire at bayou city for week long intensives, where she worked us in to her schedule around our other appointments in Katy and even brought in other LCs like Brandy to consult on post release healing. She is skilled at navigating ties (pre and post release) and breastfeeding, supply issues, maternal health complications, and the emotional dynamics of everything. She has a wealth of resources at her fingertips and knows how to use them. Kind and gentle, realistic, and affirming of maternal dyad goals, Claire is the person y’all need for success in your breastfeeding journey.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your incredible review and kind words about Claire and Brandy! We are truly honored to have been part of your family's breastfeeding journey, and your story is a testament to the power of perseverance and compassionate care.

Claire’s dedication and expertise shine brightly, and it’s wonderful to hear how her guidance—whether virtually or in person—made such a meaningful difference for you and your daughter. She embodies the very heart of what we strive for at Bayou City Breastfeeding: personalized support that not only addresses the physical aspects of feeding but also considers the emotional and practical needs of each family.

We’re equally thrilled to know that Brandy's consultations added to the positive experience. It’s our mission to provide collaborative, comprehensive care to help families overcome challenges and achieve their unique goals.

Your words reaffirm why we do what we do—helping mothers and babies thrive together. Thank you again for taking the time to share your journey, and for trusting us during such an important time. Wishing you and your family continued success and joy on this beautiful journey of parenthood! 🌸
The experience has been amazing. Suzanne, Karen and Tessa are very caring and all the advices have been helpful for the tongue tie issue of my son.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Brandy is fantastic! She really listened to my concerns and helped me to setup for success for breastfeeding and pumping when I go back to work. She even helped fit me for the correct sized phalange for the pump and tested it in office to be sure. I definitely recommend for anyone wanting to breastfeed
Response from the owner:Hi Rachel,
Your words are too kind!

Without the guidance of Suzanne and her expertise, I dont think breastfeeding would have lasted long for us at all. She always knows exactly what is needed to get us headed on the best track for success. All the other lactation consultants we have seen here have been pretty great also as well as the chiropractor Dr. Chelsea! I highly recommend taking advantage of their services if you are expecting or have a little one!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words, Christine! We're thrilled to hear that Suzanne and our team could provide the support you needed on your breastfeeding journey. It's always our goal to set families up for success. Your recommendation means the world to us! 💛
We are so happy to have you in the Bayou City Breastfeeding family!


I've been working with Karen for 5 months now. She has been truly exceptional. She has idea galore, tips and tricks I've never heard (this is my 3rd kiddo) and sage, wise advice. I'm not sure if we would still be breastfeeding without her. She is a gem. I would absolutely recommend Karen and Bayou City Breastfeeding. Without a doubt!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. We think Karen is amazing too, and are so happy to have her on our team.
Brandy, Suzanne and the team are amazing! They came to our rescue when our 2 weeks old baby was in dire need of help. Suzanne gave us a video call within the same day and properly diagnosed the issue that our doctor couldn't. Brandy gave practical professional advice that we can easily follow. She does it all with such passion and care for us and our baby. My husband and I are blown away by their level of knowledge, expertise and professionalism. We are so so grateful for their service. The fruit of their labour is evident: after a short period of time, baby is gaining weight and he is so much healthier and I have more than enough milk to feed him! Highly Recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Britni was INCREDIBLE. She was incredibly attentive, thorough, and knowledgeable. I left the appointment feeling heard and empowered to execute the plan we had set out to make breastfeeding a better experience for my son and I.
