Elitia Huang
We had such amazing support with the team at Bayou! They helped us with our two babies who had tongue ties and I learned how to do the stretches and nurse them effectively. My babies are healthy and growing so well because of their experience and expertise! Even when we moved to a different state, we still reached out to them and they gave such valuable virtual help! You guys are amazing!
Response from the owner:Elitia, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that our services were able to help you with the issues you encountered while breastfeeding your babies with tongue tie. It was truly an honor and a privilege to be able to assist you in this journey. We are so glad that the virtual visits were beneficial and that your babies are now thriving! 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

I had an amazing experience and relationship with my LC, Dana Gillman. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She helped my son and I with latch/gas issues as well as general maintenance and care for myself to prevent clogs. She was very responsive when I had questions that came up throughout the week in between our appointments. She also was very supportive and encouraging during postpartum and I cannot thank her enough for her kindness.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with Dana, Karen! We're thrilled to hear that Dana was able to provide such exceptional support and care for you and your son. Your kind words about her responsiveness, knowledge, and encouragement during postpartum mean the world to us. We're delighted that Dana made such a positive impact on your breastfeeding journey. If there's anything more we can do for you, please don't hesitate to reach out. 🌸😊

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!
Rachel Holloway
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! 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 Brandy and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you and your family. Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you! Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding

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

I saw basically everyone in the magnolia office because of my scheduling and they’re all incredibly helpful.

I’m a first time mom and my baby had to have a mouth procedure. These ladies. Helped me navigate how to best help her and heal her mouth!

Additionally, I am an over supplier and get frequent clogged milk ducts, they were able to teach me how to work through this!

As an exclusive pumper, I had horrible experiences with other lactation consultants. I came here on a recommendation and I don’t regret it!! Our consultant was understanding, informative and a great listener. The communication is easy as well… they have texting and direct messaging.

We greatly appreciate your recommendation! 😊 It’s wonderful to hear how the services and care provided by Bayou City Breastfeeding surpass those of other lactation consulting groups. Please keep spreading the word!!! Also, 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

My IBCLC helped me and my baby persevere with breastfeeding as we waited for his frenectomy. She’s worked with us through all the difficulties and encouraged me when I’ve wanted to give up. I would not have continued breastfeeding if it weren’t for the support and care my baby and I received from Bayou City Breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're overjoyed to hear that our Katy team members supported you and your baby through the challenges you faced during breastfeeding, especially as you awaited his frenectomy. At Bayou City Breastfeeding, our goal is to provide unwavering support and care to mothers and babies on their breastfeeding journey.

Callie Banning
Tiphany at Bayou City Lactation was excellent to work with. If you are wanting to BF I would highly recommend BCL. She hands down saved my BF journey. She identified and addressed my baby’s tongue ties before our pediatrician did. She showed me how to use my pump. She showed me how to make BF more efficient. And she was always available through text with any questions I had. 10/10 recommend. I will use her for any baby I am blessed with in the future! Thank you BCL and Tiphany for all you do to support mothers!
Response from the owner:Callie, Your kind words truly warm our hearts! It means so much to hear how Tiphany’s care made such a powerful impact on your breastfeeding journey. From early assessments to everyday support, she's dedicated to walking alongside every mom with knowledge and compassion. We’re so grateful you chose Bayou City Breastfeeding —here’s to many more beautiful beginnings! 💕👶✨
