Tessa is an AMAZING consultant. I literally ask her about everything! I rely on her more than I rely on my son's doctor. When I ask the pediatrician a question, I usually get "He's fine", but with Tessa I get explanations and details that help me better understand certain things. Dr. Emily is heaven sent as she helped to loosen my baby. The exercises have been working very well with him and he so flexible now and sleeps so much better. Her patience with babies is wonderful!!
We took the childbirth prep class last week and were so glad we did! As first time parents, we have definitely been overwhelmed with all the information floating around out there. This class gave us a good high level overview of what to expect leading up to labor, during labor and those first few weeks after birth. Jen was so great at breaking things down for us and answering any specific questions we had! Would highly recommend!

Bayou city (Mary and Amy) have been such a blessing to me while breastfeeding my third. This time around I was met with clogs and mastitis multiple times. Be able to meet with Mary and have her help and support was a huge help to my mental well being. Being able to send a message when I had a concern and knowing a response would be received in a timely manner helped ease my mind. From checking my pump settings, helping me reduce clogs and ultimately supporting me in making my plan to wean, they have provided me with the support I’ve needed every step of the way! Thank you Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation Consultants!
I cannot say enough great things about Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation!! If you’re on the fence if you can breastfeed, I would absolutely make an appointment here first. It may seem overwhelming but having someone guide you and give you advice along the way will be so helpful. Katelyn helped me through SO much! I learned how to nurse my baby and pump better and more efficiently. I gained so much confidence in my abilities to feed by baby thanks to her guidance. Especially during the early postpartum days. My daughter also has reflux and Katelyn helped me work on things to improve this and help keep my baby comfortable as well. I’m now off of maternity leave and had to begin traveling for work..Katelyn helped me with so many things to prepare for being away from my baby so I could have a supply at home. She also helped me work out options to pump on the go conveniently and with ease. It was a breeze when I traveled for work thanks to her help! I owe so much of my successful breastfeeding journey to Katelyn. I am so grateful that my baby is 6mths old and we are still breastfeeding, even as a working mom! THANK YOU KATELYN!! I couldn’t have gotten through this without you.
Suzanne was extremely helpful and squeezed me on on Fathers day, Sunday, in the morning, to accommodate a prenatal visit I needed as I may go into labor any time soon. She gave me a lot of reassurance and I feel so much more prepared going into labor knowing they have a LC on the other side waiting for me to help me one on one! Thank you!
