Our first consultation here was excellent! We had conflicting and confusing advice from the hospital LCs, so we set up with Bayou City Breastfeeding to try to sort out some of our issues. Katelyn was an excellent resource and so kind, friendly, and supportive. We will be returning and recommend anyone looking for support reach out and schedule with them!

Edit to add - I am a first time mom, with ambitions of nursing my 3 week old for at least a year if possible!

We are thrilled to hear how much Katelyn and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you start your breastfeeding journey. Being a new mother can be overwhelming. We are so glad that Katelyn was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner.

We’ve been working with Megan to help our little guy (and me) have a better nursing experience. She has been nothing short of wonderful! Megan is very patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She has expertly answered all of our questions, supported us as issues arise, and been instrumental in guiding us through his tongue tie journey. We’re really grateful to have the opportunity to work with her and couldn’t recommend strongly enough. If you’re on the fence about working with a consultant—do it!
Response from the owner:Hi Meghan! Thank you for your review!!! We are sure that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊 We are so happy that Megan was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools necessary to overcome the obstacles you faced on your tongue-tie and breastfeeding journeys. 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
Time spent with Mary was time well spent. She helped ease my anxieties and gave good guidance to get my baby and I on the right track for breastfeeding success. Scheduling with her was always easy, the office staff was most helpful. I highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
We needed help with increasing my daughters weight just a bit and Karen was able to help us reach our goals. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend especially for first time moms.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Amazing support in such a difficult time that’s trying to breastfeed your baby. My consultant was Karen and I have no words to describe the help, patience and knowledge shared.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review, we are so blessed to have Karen on our team<3
Tiphany was incredible and informative 👏🏾

BCBL is extremely helpful and professional. I had the pleasure of working with Megan on a virtual call that was very much needed at the time. She was incredibly sweet and very helpful. She put me at ease when I was struggling and highly stressed. I also had an in-home visit with Ariel. She was also so great at putting our concerns at ease. She provided a wealth of knowledge, a great resource of information and contacts, and was responsive to further questions and making herself available after our visit. We felt more comfortable and confident with her advice. So tremendously grateful for these ladies and hope to continue my journey with them. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Hi Adriana! Thank you for your glowing recommendation!!!! 😊 We are so glad that both our virtual and in-home visit options were helpful! 😊 It is wonderful to hear that Megan and Ariel were able to provide you the encouragement and hope you needed to continue your breastfeeding journeys. 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
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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your journey!
First, Bayou City is great! I reached out via text on a Sunday and they responded and got me set up with an appointment the next day. Karen has been our saving grace. She has taken my very complicated case and gone above and beyond to help me find answers. If she didn’t know something she went to great lengths to find someone who did. Without her I wouldn’t be as far as I am now. This is my first birth, and she genuinely has helped me with being the best mama to my baby I can be. I think seeing someone like Karen should be a recommendation for any mom-not just those who need assistance in lactating.
