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!
I saw prescila for few times and she was fantastic!! Very knowledgeable and personable.

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.

I had a great experience with my lactation consultant. She was very sweet and supportive. Their office is very welcoming and clean. My consultant answered all my questions and I felt relieved in the end of the session. I highly recommend their office. I wish I could have gone there sooner.

Amanda at Bayou City Katy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all our questions and was able to guide us in the best directions to take with many different options for our personal situation. She was able to give us tips not only for what we should do with our infant but also gave us helpful advice on what I could do personally on my behalf to help in the process. She was patient, and we learned a lot, just from our initial visit.
Response from the owner:Hi Aika,

I cannot recommend Suzanne enough for her exceptional expertise and compassionate care. Suzanne has been instrumental in the care of my son who has oral ties and struggling to feed and gain weight. Her dedication to her profession and genuine concern for her patients is seen and felt during sessions. Suzanne impressed me with her comprehensive understanding of breastfeeding challenges related to oral ties. What I appreciate most about Suzanne and her team is their personalized care. They didn't just address the immediate issue; they took the time to understand our unique goals, concerns, and mental health through this journey. Their supportive attitude created a warm and welcoming environment, making me feel genuinely cared for during a challenging time.
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah!

We are so glad that Suzanne was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to guide you through the challenges of breastfeeding a baby with oral ties, who struggled to feed and gain weight. It was truly an honor and a privilege to be able to assist you in this journey.
Being a new parent is scary on a good day, so ensuring our families are in a safe and supportive environment is critical to us, and we are so glad to hear that you felt that way.
Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are so happy to have you in the Bayou City Breastfeeding family!!! 😊

Suzanne was great! Very knowledgeable, reassuring and took the time to listen to my struggles through my daughter’s tongue and lip ties.
Also Tiffany is the sweetest person! I wouldn’t have been able to schedule or get into an appointment without her. She is such a caring soul! She listened to my fears, reassured me with her knowledge and referred me to Suzanne.
Such a compassionate place! So grateful my daughter was able to be seen and ready to try some of the recommendations.
Thank you!

I am so thankful that we were referred here and that we could get the help we needed with breastfeeding! I came at 1 week postpartum and my baby had lost a little too much weight for our pediatrician’s liking so we had to supplement with formula. Upon going to the consultation Amy was able to tell that he has a lip tie and a lot of tension in his body that made nursing more difficult for him and me. She guided us through a nursing session and helped to get a good latch along with a comfortable position for us and then assessed his weight gain. She showed us a better way to bottle feed a breastfed baby and also taught me how to use my pump correctly to increase my supply. I also really loved that she gave us exercises to help relax his mouth and face as well as suggested bodywork to see if his lip tie will correct itself! I would highly recommend any breastfeeding mom to go as soon as you can after birth, and while breastfeeding is hard work it can be made so much easier when you get quality help from an LC! We can’t wait for our follow up visit to see how it is improving!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
This is one of the easiest 5 stars I’ve given! Morgan has been a godsend. She’s worked with us through struggles with bottle feeding and a tongue tie. She’s phenomenal, and I’d recommend her to anyone needing feeding help for their little one.
Response from the owner:Hi Amanda,
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We are thrilled to hear that Megan has been such a phenomenal support for you and your little one. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to have been part of your feeding journey.
