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!
Suzanne has been immensely helpful for both of my children. I would not have been able to breastfeed my firstborn without her depth of knowledge, patience, and connections to other providers in the greater Houston area and knowledge as to which providers would be most skilled in working with the specific needs we had. She was even able to help us identify some non-breastfeeding medical issues that we were able to address early in my son’s life because of her wide base of knowledge and attentiveness. Beyond breastfeeding, she was also able to help us create a plan for introducing solids that was tailored to helping us avoid the abundant food allergies that are prevalent in our family. I am confident that our children’s health will be better long-term on multiple fronts as a result of the guidance we received from Suzanne.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Nichol is very patient. She gave us a lot of workable ideas and information to boost my breast milk.

I can’t say enough about how much Jen helped me through a really difficult breastfeeding journey as a first time mom. She was an amazing support and resource. I whole heartedly recommend her to anyone needing guidance in their motherhood journey!

Suzanne has been a literal life saver and angel on earth. No matter the obstacle with my breastfeeding journey, she has had a plethora of information and a way to work through it. From latch issues to low weight to ties and low supply, Suzanne is extremely educated and informative and has completely saved my relationship with breastfeeding. She taught me to use my pump, recommended supplements where I needed them and has a resource for whatever your journey requires. There has not been a more supportive and integral person in my support system than Suzanne and I cannot thank her or recommend her enough. Whether you’re a new mom or a 2nd time mom like myself, your time with her is an investment and a wonderful one at that.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Suzanne Juel helped me nurse my babies for 10 months and 16 months. She is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and kind. She believes in helping moms be the best moms they can be. She built an incredible community of moms supporting moms in our community.
The process of getting help was fantastic! I really liked how I got a virtual consultation before my in-person one to give me more immediate help. Katelyn was a fantastic lactation consultant! She helped me find the right pump and gave me some confidence to continue my breastfeeding journey. I will definitely be coming to this team again and recommending them to anyone that I can.
Response from the owner:Hey Robin, Wow, your words mean the world to us! We're thrilled that the virtual consultation provided immediate support before your in-person visit. Katelyn will be overjoyed to hear how her expertise and guidance boosted your breastfeeding journey. Knowing you have confidence and the right tools makes our efforts truly worthwhile. We're here for you anytime, and we can’t wait to assist you again. Thank you for spreading the word! We are so glad to have you in the BCB family! All the best, Team Bayou City Breastfeeding
They are the best! Love Suzanne! She’s awesome.
Response from the owner:Hi Olivia! Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience and kind words with us!!! We feel honored that your family has placed its trust in Bayou City Breastfeeding. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your support team. Please let us know if we can be of any further help. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
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!
Kyna gave us a visit on the 4th of July! I’m having so many challenges with breast feeding, but she and her team encouraged me with their rich knowledge and experience on top of warm caring touch. Highly recommend!
