I met with Jessica for my first lactation consult. She was thorough, patient and gave us great information! Her follow up has been timely and compassionate. Her passion for helping moms achieve a successful breast feeding journey comes across in the care and attention she gives. I’ve been singing her praises to everyone I have talked with. I highly recommend her and Bayou City Breastfeeding - Magnolia!

Suzanne is the best! The first thing she checked was to see if my son had any restrictions in his mouth that the hospital missed. She found a tongue and lip tie! She showed me how to appropriately position to breast feed and helped gather resources for my son and I. I will be recommending them to everyone!
Response from the owner:Hi Laiya!

Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation!!!

We are so glad that Suzanne was able to guide you through the challenges of breastfeeding a baby with oral ties. It is truly an honor and a privilege to be able to assist you in this journey.

Tiphany was amazing! She helped transform our breastfeeding journey and changed our lives. She was patient with me and I always felt extremely informed by...
I cannot recommend Melissa enough! I came to her completely stressed out — I was exclusively breastfeeding and heading back to work soon, but my baby was still flat-out refusing every bottle we tried. We had already tried everything we could think of, every tip on the internet, every bottle on the shelf… nothing worked.

But Melissa worked absolute magic. She came in with such calm confidence and assessed what was going on. Within such a short time, she got my baby to actually take a bottle — something that felt impossible before she arrived.

If you’re dealing with bottle refusal, Melissa is the person you want in your corner. Truly a lifesaver!
Response from the owner:Diane,
Your words absolutely made our day! 💕 Bottle refusal can feel overwhelming, and we know how much stress it brings when you’re preparing to head back to work. Reading how Melissa was able to bring calm, confidence, and a little bit of “magic” into your world is exactly why we’re so passionate about what we do.

Melissa has a gift for meeting families right where they are and helping babies make those big breakthroughs — and your story is such a beautiful reminder of that. Thank you for trusting us during such an important moment in your journey. We’re cheering you and your little one on every step of the way! 🌟

With love and latches,

I don’t think anyone can prep you for the emotional and physical hardships of breastfeeding, especially those early months. But thank god for Bayou City Breastfeeding and for their sweet angel IBCLC Dana!! I was in a lot of pain the first month of breastfeeding. I would switch between pumping and giving my baby a bottle because I just couldn’t handle it anymore. Then I would nurse again but would just sit and cry as I would nurse him, not only because the pain but because I was so close to giving up. So I made my first appointment with them and wasn’t sure what to expect. I am so glad I did because thanks to my appointments with Dana, I’ve continued breastfeeding without pain and my baby is thriving! Dana is very thorough with her appointments and makes sure you and baby are doing as well as possible. She makes sure all your needs and questions are met. She helped me with my latch, stretches for my baby’s tongue tie and ways that I can help him with his reflux. Dana is extremely welcoming, friendly and encouraging! She is your breastfeeding cheerleader that you didn’t realize you needed! Her kind words have made me feel proud of the work I’ve done on my breastfeeding journey. Bayou City Breastfeeding’s office is also very clean, nice and cozy! You can tell they’ve put a lot of thought into making their clients feel comfortable. If you are having any problem with breastfeeding, big or small, I highly recommend making an appointment with Bayou City Breastfeeding (even better if you can request Dana!). It’s totally worth it mama!
Response from the owner:Hi Marisela,
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. 😊 There are certainly others who are facing the similar issues with latching, tongue tie and painful breastfeeding.

We are so happy that Dana was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement, support and help needed to continue your breastfeeding journey. Just remember you did ALL the hard work to ensure that your baby thrived!!! You are the superhero and should be proud of yourself!!!! 😊

I can't recommend this place enough. I met with Suzanne with my newborn son when I was having severe pain with latching. Suzanne was so helpful in helping...
we could never be more thankful for tiphany! she was able to after 3 different other lactation consultants and two pediatricians confirm my daughter had all 4 ties in her mouth. she not only helped with stretches, encouraged me when she was bottle refusing for 2 months, found a bottle she would take, and lastly became someone i’m
forever thankful for on our journey! i couldn’t recommend her enough and don’t wait to book her. once you notice a problem immediately go in. it’s better to find out earlier than later. my daughter is so thankful for her journey with her.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Haley, for sharing your incredible experience! We’re beyond grateful to hear how Tiphany was able to provide the answers and support you needed. Identifying all four oral ties after multiple consultations is no small feat, and we’re so glad she could guide you through stretches, help with bottle refusal, and even find the right bottle for your little one.
Your kind words truly highlight Tiphany’s dedication to helping families overcome challenges and feel supported every step of the way. Thank you for recommending early intervention—it makes such a difference! We’re honored to have been part of your journey and wish you and your daughter continued success and happiness. 💕
