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 ❤️

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.

Melissa is a godsend!! 💗 She is so knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful. I felt so much more confident with our newborn after meeting with her. Can’t wait for our next follow up.

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.

The lactation consultants I worked with - Megan and a few trainees - were so helpful in giving me confidence and tools to make my breastfeeding journey successful and enjoyable. My son and I are doing so well today in part because of their support. I liked that there were options for virtual, in home and in office depending on our needs and how we were doing on any given day. The online messaging with quick responses was also super helpful. I felt like they truly cared for us and especially for my son and could share their experience as well. I highly recommend their services!! They also bill insurance which can be hard to find!
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah!

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 all three of our appointment options, virtual, in office and, in home and that your IBCLC, Megan, was so responsive to your online questions.

Katelyn has been working with me and my daughter for the last several months as we navigate newborn / infant feeding related issues. She made me feel completely comfortable in the sessions, putting me at ease. She is easy to talk with, and I have always felt like I could openly express my concerns and worries without judgement.  She has a great depth of knowledge and wisdom, which she shares in practical ways. She is also kind, caring, compassionate, encouraging, and personable.  She has been such a blessing for us through this time in our lives. I highly recommend Katelyn at Bayou City Breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Hi Nicola,

Very respectful, professional, compassionate and knowledgeable. My baby came early and they were flexible to schedule me as soon as possible. Highly recommend.

Dana has been one of my biggest supporters and encouragers postpartum. She helped me through difficulty pumping, identifying my babies food allergies and helping me adjust his diet accordingly, and most importantly she was always there to listen and give advice. I recommend Dana to everyone I know who has had a baby recently.
Response from the owner:
