Donique was fabulous. The whole experience was extremely educational and comfortable. I learned a TON of information, and it was delivered in a conversational, expert manner. The whole experience was great and I am so glad my pediatrician recommended Bayou City Breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Erin, Thank you so much taking the time to share your experience with us. We are thrilled to hear how much Donique and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you and your family. Please let us know if there is any additional help that we can provide. We are still here for you! 😊 Warm regards, Bayou City Breastfeeding
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bayou City Breastfeeding! We’ve been seeing Tessa and she is the absolute best! We had some latch problems with our baby from the beginning and after our first visit, Tessa gave us exercises to help and it suddenly clicked for us! Our visits are so detailed and personal, much more time than the pediatrician will spend with us! Not only did Tessa help with latch and lactation, she’s also helped us with general questions about newborn care. As first time parents, we’ve been so overwhelmed with all the information on the internet and Tessa is so patient and reassuring with all of our questions. She also has so many tips and tricks to help us care for our little girl! We are so incredibly thankful to work with her!
Response from the owner:🌟 Thank you so much, Haelee, for your kind and thoughtful words! We're beyond grateful to hear how impactful your experience with Tessa has been. She truly has a gift for blending clinical expertise with compassionate care, and we're thrilled that her guidance helped things "click" for you and your little one. Being a first-time parent comes with so many questions and emotions, and it's wonderful to know that Tessa was able to offer the reassurance, time, and personalized support you needed. From latch challenges to newborn care tips, she’s passionate about walking alongside families every step of the way—and your feedback means the world to her and to all of us at Bayou City Breastfeeding. Thank you again for trusting us during such a special season. We’re honored to be part of your journey! 💗
It took about a week to get an in person visit, but we were able to get a triage video call appointment within 12 hours of my first contact to address immediate concerns. Kathy at the Houston location was thorough, informative, and very helpful. She was respectful of the goals for our family, and made sure to check in and re-assess those goals at our follow up appointments. Would definitely recommend Kathy and Bayou City to anyone looking for support in feeding their baby!
Response from the owner:Hi Anna, Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation!!! It is our mission to reduce as much stress as possible for our clients and to provide them with all the tools necessary to have a successful breastfeeding journey. We are so pleased that you benefitted from both our virtual and in office appointment options, and that your IBCLC, Kathy, was so responsive to your changing breastfeeding journey goals . Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are so glad to have you in the BCB family! All the best, Team Bayou City Breastfeeding
We had a wonderful experience with all the ladies! Ms. Suzanne helped tremendously with all the questions and concerns I had once my baby had his tongue/cheek/lip ties released
Response from the owner:Hi Edith! Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience at our Kingwood location. It's heartwarming to know that Suzanne and our team were able to provide the support and answers you needed during such an important time. Your kind words mean a lot to us and inspire us to continue offering the best care possible. All the best, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team
I can’t rave enough about Suzanne and her staff. I was clueless as a first time mom regarding all things breastfeeding.. she answered all my questions and more. Supportive, informative, and caring all around!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! We have been so happy to be a part of your journey into motherhood ❤️
I can not say enough amazing things about Suzanne and her team. I came to see Suzanne at the beginning of my breastfeeding journey, and she has been a help not only with breastfeeding but with being a new mom in general. She is so smart and willing to answer any question openly and honestly. I trust her so much and wish every mom had someone like her in their corner!

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!
10/10 recommend for anyone needing help with their breastfeeding journey! Everyone that I’ve spoken to has been so sweet and helpful throughout the whole process! We’ve been working with Nicole since our 1st visit and she has helped guide me and my baby into a smooth breastfeeding journey!
Response from the owner:Hi Erica, Thank you for your glowing review!!!
