Without the support, patience, and knowledge of Suzanne Juel, our breastfeeding journey would have been over within a month. Suzanne’s expertise and education of ties is beyond the normal IBCLC. Our post-revision struggles were more than I would have imagined, and she was there for us every step of the way to encourage and educate me on what was happening and how to work through it.

I made it 16.5 months nursing my baby girl, and I owe the majority of the credit to Suzanne. I couldn’t be more thankful for the support I received from her during the hardest times of my postpartum journey, and the support I continue to receive from her, even after the visits stopped. Thank you, Bayou City Breastfeeding, for allowing me to build the exceptional bond I have with my baby girl now, thanks to nursing.

Just had my initial consult with Lisa & she was beyond amazing. She was compassionate, thorough & extremely informative. Very happy with the plan we established and hopeful my breastfeeding experience will be different this time around.
Response from the owner:Hi Kristi! Thank you for your review!!! We are so happy that Lisa and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to provide you the encouragement and resources you needed to start you on your breastfeeding journey.

I cannot say enough good things about Brandy Lightfoot at Bayou City Breastfeeding. After a very disheartening experience with my first daughter’s tongue tie and my low supply, I saw Brandy during my second pregnancy and after the birth. It’s been a tough journey, but my supply is up to 30+ oz (twice as much as the first time despite another tongue tie!) and we haven’t had to feed formula this time. Brandy’s knowledge and guidance is absolutely impeccable. Seeing four and even six ounces in a bottle from one pumping after enduring literal blood, sweat, and tears to pump less than two past—well, if you’ve been there, you know. I highly recommend that you see Brandy as soon as possible if you are struggling with breastfeeding or low supply.
Response from the owner:Jennifer, Thank you so much for your heartfelt and powerful review! 🌟 We are beyond thrilled to hear about your incredible progress and the success you've had this time around. Your journey is a true testament to your strength, perseverance, and the amazing support Brandy provides. Brandy is deeply passionate about helping families thrive, and your words beautifully capture the impact of her dedication and expertise. From navigating tongue ties to doubling your supply and avoiding formula—what an inspiring transformation! Seeing those full bottles must feel like such a victory, and we’re so honored to have been part of that journey with you. Thank you for sharing your story and encouraging others to seek support early. Your experience will no doubt give hope to many others walking a similar path. 💕 We’re cheering you on every step of the way!

As an exclusive pumper, I had horrible experiences with other lactation consultants. I came here on a recommendation and I don’t regret it!! Our consultant was understanding, informative and a great listener. The communication is easy as well… they have texting and direct messaging.
Response from the owner:Hi Karla! We greatly appreciate your recommendation! 😊 It’s wonderful to hear how the services and care provided by Bayou City Breastfeeding surpass those of other lactation consulting groups. Please keep spreading the word!!! Also, 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

Jen is amazing! She is so helpful and thorough. She has taught me so much about nursing and increased my confidence each time I see her. I don’t know how I fed 2 babies before without her!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!

Katelyn Kleiber has been amazing to work with. She’s patient, listens to all my concerns, is great with communication and always available for assistance. I cannot say enough good things and I am truly so thankful I found her as a first time mom. I look forward to continuing to work with her as my newborn continues to grow!
Response from the owner:Hi Alexa! We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words with us. We are thrilled to hear how much Katelyn and Bayou City Breastfeeding have been able to help you and your little one. Being a new mother can be overwhelming. We are so glad that Katelyn has been able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are so glad to have you in the BCB family! All the best, Team Bayou City Breastfeeding
Jesse Suzanne Strickler
Suzanne is wonderful. I had a lot of trauma related to becoming a mother, a lot of trauma from having to be induced and my son having to spend time in nicu, and a lot of fear of failure as a mom. she empowered me to make decisions, to build a healthy nursing relationship with my son, and continue breastfeeding beyond my minimum goal of a year. I don't think I could have done it without her-no judgment-meet you where you are- attitude and encouragement. My son overcame his tongue tie and gain issues and is a strong, healthy, taller than average, 2 year old.

Nicole was an amazing help to me as a first time mom! I was able to get a house call scheduled super quick, highly recommend BCB!
Sarah Hermann
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! Thank you so much for our kind words!!! Bayou City Breastfeeding’s core mission is to care for the entire health of our clients: physical, emotional and mental. 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!!! 😊 Thank you!
