I cannot express how wonderful of an experience I had with Bayou City Breastfeeding and my lactation consultant, Mary. I met with Mary prior to having my daughter and met with her regularly over the first 4 months since she was born. We tackled together a tongue and lip tie prior to and post-surgery, along with latching and supply issues. Mary is kind and always made me feel extremely comfortable at our visits. She spent so much time with us asking all the necessary questions, showing and suggesting different techniques to use and seeing how much my daughter was being fed. We miss seeing her and thank her so much for all of the help she provided to us.

It’s always worth it. Ariel was very kind to me early on in the online triage. Kathy has come in person twice and she is amazing. She is always extra helpful sharing her vast experience. They’re very professional.

Suzanne Juel helped me nurse my babies for 10 months and 16 months. She is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and kind. She believes in helping moms be the best moms they can be. She built an incredible community of moms supporting moms in our community.
I've had a wonderful experience at Bayou City Breastfeeding!! Rebecca was outstanding in helping me navigate the complexities of my BlueCross BlueShield insurance. She made what could have been a daunting process remarkably smooth and stress-free through her exceptional communication skills. She promptly responded to my inquiries, providing timely updates and guidance as needed. Thanks to Rebecca's assistance, I was able to access the lactation support I needed without the added stress of navigating insurance complexities.

Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
I had such a wonderful experience at BCB! My son struggled to breastfeed after birth, but Tiphany was a lifesaver! She got us off to a great start and even helped us incorporate bottles to decrease the chance he would reject a bottle when I had to return to work.

Now my son is 6 months old, thriving and can switch between bottles and breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Hi Emily, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and kind words with us. We are thrilled to hear how much Tiphany and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you during your breastfeeding journey.

I am so grateful I found Bayou City Breastfeeding! My appointments with Suzanne were the most helpful appointments I've ever had. I have learned so much and...
Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn't the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos...
Came in prenatal - I feel so much more confident! Thanks to Ariel! I am so thankful for BCBLC. I already scheduled a 1 week postpartum follow up at the house. Thanks for everything

Katelyn is the absolute best! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but she’s also a caring and empathetic person. She truly cares about her patients and she’s a joy to be around. I genuinely looked forward to our sessions!

She helped us so much during our pre-release and post-release journey. I can’t thank her enough for her thoughtful advice and support over these past few months. I’m grateful to have had her as part of our support team and recommend her to anyone who needs support while breastfeeding. She’ll listen, help, and cheer you on every step of the way!

We also had a few virtual consults with Lisa and I highly recommend her too! Her knowledge and advice were a huge help with navigating my son’s sleep. With so much conflicting information online, it was nice to have Lisa and Katelyn as points of reference who could use their knowledge and experience to put us on the right path and help us find what works best for us.

Honestly, you just can’t go wrong with Bayou City Breastfeeding!
