Dana is AMAZING! Super knowledgeable and helpful and personable. Eased my mind with breastfeeding and with my babies weight gain. Will recommend her to anyone that needs help. Thank you for making this Mommas heart feel better!

Bayou City Breastfeeding has saved my family twice. After two kids with significant weight loss and tongue ties, we wouldn’t be where we are if not for Suzanne and her team. Just last week after our newborn had lost a concerning amount of weight in just a couple days after birth, Suzanne worked us in for a visit to check on him and then helped to get us in for an urgent visit with the dentist for a tongue tie release. We are so lucky to be enveloped with so much support. Bayou City treats you like family and we wouldn’t have a happy, healthy newborn without them.
Response from the owner:Brandon, We really appreciate you sharing your positive experience and kind words with us!!! We feel honored that your family has placed its trust in Bayou City Breastfeeding, not once, but twice! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your support team.  Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you!

I had successfully nursed 6 kids, so when my 7th baby was born I was feeling pretty confident in my breastfeeding ability. But, she had trouble eating. Distraught, I reached out to Bayou City Breastfeeding. They got me in with in a couple of days and assessed our situation. Tessa was extremely reassuring, and very knowledgeable. She helped me know which exercises I needed to do with my baby and helped me through baby's healing process after her tongue tie revision. Baby girl and I have a special bond through nursing that, at first, I didn't think it was possible. Bayou City Breastfeeding was an answer to my prayers!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your successful breastfeeding journey!
I can’t say enough good things about Tessa and how much she has helped this first time mom. She has calmed my anxieties and taught me SO MUCH about breastfeeding, positions, baby’s tongue movement, and body work. Her referral to our pediatric dentist and instructions after our tongue tie release has greatly healed my baby. Moreso, she’s so prompt with messages and will fit me in her schedule when I’m in a pinch. Our appointments are never rushed, and time just flies by in the most wonderful way. I truly never thought how much I’d need a lactation counselor as someone who’s been working with pregnant moms and moms with babies for years, but my baby isn’t even three months yet and we’ve visited her twice a month. She keeps the atmosphere super zen and uplifting. I’d go in ready to cry, end up laughing, and leave excited to implement the recommendations she’s made. Her depth of knowledge, expertise, and passion is evident. My infant always seems happier, physically relaxed, and her latch progresses so much after our visits with Tessa. I’m so grateful to her impact on our breastfeeding journey. God bless Tessa!
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah! We cannot thank you enough for your glowing recommendation! There’s no doubt that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊 There are certainly others who are facing similar issues with latching, tongue tie and painful breastfeeding. We are so happy that Tessa 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. 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
Donique was extremely helpful during my consultation visit. I learned so much about the lactation process and nursing in general that made me feel ready to take on the challenge once my baby is born. I cannot recommend Donique and Bayou Breastfeeding more.
Response from the owner:Raisa, Thank you so much for your kind words!!! We are thrilled to hear how much Donique and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you. Being a new mom and starting the process of breastfeeding can be overwhelming. Getting instruction before delivery is a testament to your love and commitment to your baby’s health. We are so happy that Donique was the perfect IBCLC for you! Good luck with your breastfeeding journey!!!! You can do it!!!! 😊 Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!
Love this place! Katelyn has been so helpful with my breastfeeding journey. Truly grateful to have a place dedicated to help women feel comfortable and knowledgeable during postpartum. I would have never known my baby had a lip tie and tongue tie if it wasn’t for Katelyn. I wasn’t getting any sleep and once we clipped our baby’s tongue we had a huge improvement right away and I was able to sleep more than 1.5 hours.
Response from the owner:Hi Liz, Thank you for your review!!!

It is our mission to provide our parents with all the knowledge, support and encouragement they need to overcome anything that comes along on their breastfeeding journeys. We are so happy that Katelyn was the perfect IBCLC for you! Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you!

Jessica DeAses has been my IBCLC and she’s absolutely AMAZING! Definitely a blessing to me and my family. She’s so sweet, understanding, never makes you feel rushed, and completely relatable. I don’t feel like she’s just a consultant but a friend because she’s so easy to talk to. The office is adorable as well, so cozy! I will definitely be meeting with her for any needs I may have!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Dr. Chelsea is very kind, a good listener and good at chiropractice.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Brandy, for your kind words and 5‑star review! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear that you felt supported by Dr. Chelsea’s care. Her compassion, attentive listening, and chiropractic expertise are at the heart of what we strive to provide every day at Bayou City Breastfeeding.

I had my visits scheduled with Britni, she was great. She is very knowledgeable and has tact in her interaction with both mom and baby.
She helped me on my first week with my newborn, and then had a follow up visit. The communication through the app and all the information gathered in the visit are shared with you with lots of detail.
Totally recommend this place for anyone needing some help with breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to support you in your breastfeeding journey!
My newborn latched on & began feeding immediately after birth. I know that would not have been possible if I had not worked with a lactation consultant...
