My experience with Kristen here at BCB has been amazing! I felt alone in this process at the beginning but Kristen has made my journey much better; an expert and friend. My experience has eliminated any stress I had about breastfeeding/pumping and my journey back to work after my short leave. The education level I have gained from my appointments has made me a successful and happy breastfeeding mom. I cannot say enough good things about BCB! I would highly recommended them for your prenatal and postnatal needs.
Response from the owner:Hi Shelby,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us and for your encouragement to other working mothers. We are thrilled to hear how much Kristen and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you and your family.

Being a working mom with a baby that is still breastfeeding can be challenging. We are so happy that Kristen was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the tools and guidance necessary to stay on your breastfeeding journey after returning to work.

Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊

Thank you!

Went for my first appointment here as a prenatal to get prepared. I now know how to use all the devices I got for self care and breast feeding. I feel more confident I will be better prepared. They even show you how to hold your baby and to get then to latch! I wanted more then what the newborn class I had to take had and I got it. It's also in a brand new building!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so glad you had a good prenatal visit and are looking forward to meeting your little one!
Katelyn did our at home consultation and she was amazing. She reassured us on what we’re doing right and helped me relieve doubts I had with breastfeeding. She answered all our questions. She sends a care plan after the visit with everything we talked about with more resources. She’s very responsive through the app and text. If you’re wondering if you should book a consultation, you will not regret it. This is a great resource to have as a new mom.
Response from the owner:We are so glad you found your visit to be helpful and we look forward to supporting you on your feeding journey!
I’m so grateful for this team! As a new mama struggling to figure out not only breastfeeding but also how to take care of a baby, they were patient, helpful and knowledgeable. They gave me the confidence I needed. I recommend that all of my new mama friends make an appointment with them!
Response from the owner:Hi Jane,
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! We are sure that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathy Lenert. She has gone above and beyond for me and my baby . Her support has been genuine, patient, and deeply compassionate during one of the hardest phases of new motherhood. She always makes me feel heard, understood, and cared for — not just as a feeding parent, but as a whole person. After my son’s tongue tie release she went above and beyond to call me to check in and was very supportive.
Her guidance has made such a difference in our breastfeeding journey, and I’m truly grateful for her dedication. She is a rare gem and I recommend her wholeheartedly to any new mom.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience. We are truly touched by your kind words about Kathy. Supporting families through the challenges of early parenthood is at the heart of what we do, and it means the world to know that Kathy’s compassion, patience, and dedication made such a difference for you and your baby.

Your story beautifully reflects the care and commitment Kathy brings to every family she works with — ensuring parents feel heard, understood, and supported as whole individuals. We’re especially glad her follow-up after your son’s tongue tie release brought you comfort during such an important moment in your journey.

We are honored to walk alongside you in this chapter of motherhood, and your wholehearted recommendation is deeply appreciated. Thank you for trusting Bayou City Breastfeeding — and Kathy — to be part of your family’s story. 💜

With love and latches,
The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team 💜

I cannot recommend Brittaney Davidson highly enough! After a very difficult and emotionally draining breastfeeding experience with my first child, I was nervous and uncertain about trying again with my second. From the very first consultation, she immediately put me at ease with her warmth and genuine empathy. She helped put me at ease and has become an invaluable resource for me. Her knowledge of breastfeeding techniques and lactation challenges that can occur is remarkable. She took the time to thoroughly assess my baby’s latch and my milk supply explaining every step in a way that made me feel empowered and not at all overwhelmed. What sets her apart is her passion! She is truly invested in the success of every family she works with. She celebrates the small wins, provides encouragement along the way and most importantly she gives practical, evidence-based guidance that actually works. Thanks to Brittaneys support, I have made it to one month of exclusively breastfeeding my second child…….successfully and confidently! This is a milestone I never thought possible after my first experience. Beyond her expertise, her compassion makes her not just a lactation nurse, but a trusted partner in this roller coaster journey of motherhood. Any parent lucky enough to work with her will feel supported and truly cared for. Thank you for all you do Brittaney!!
Response from the owner:Victoria,
Thank you for sharing such a meaningful review. We are so glad Brittaney was able to support you with the compassion and clarity you deserved. Your one month of exclusive breastfeeding is an incredible achievement, and it is wonderful to hear how her guidance helped you feel confident and cared for throughout the process. Thank you for trusting us with this chapter of your journey.

So grateful for Bayou city BF and especially Tiphany! My BF experience was incredibly positive, thanks in large part to the support and guidance she provided! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and encouraged me every step of the way, which has led to me BF for almost a year so far. Will take all my babies to her!
Response from the owner:Jen,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Tiphany’s support made such a meaningful impact on your breastfeeding journey. Her knowledge and encouragement truly shine through in everything she does, and your success is a wonderful testament to that.

We’re incredibly grateful and honored to have been part of your postpartum team. Knowing that you plan to bring all your babies to us means the world to us. Thank you for trusting Bayou City Breastfeeding!
