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!
I was originally resistant to schedule time with an external lactation consultant because I thought I had a pretty good grasp with breastfeeding but after a tough day I ended up making the call and I’m very glad I did. I learned so much more from them than I expected to and feel so much more prepared and knowledgeable about how to feed my baby. We covered breastfeeding latching but also lots of info about feeding and weight in general. They also taught me a lot about pumping and helped me discover my babies tongue tie and all the options about how to deal with it. Mandy was very informative and easy to work with and I am very appreciative for what we learned.
Response from the owner:Hi Angela, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and kind words with us. Making the commitment to breastfeed can be a challenge. Kudos for sticking with it! We are so glad that Mandy was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
Kathelyn is amazing. She is explained pretty well and helped me to understand the lactation process in a smooth way.
Response from the owner:Hi Astrid! 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. 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
Amanda at Bayou City Katy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all our questions and was able to guide us in the best directions to take with many different options for our personal situation. She was able to give us tips not only for what we should do with our infant but also gave us helpful advice on what I could do personally on my behalf to help in the process. She was patient, and we learned a lot, just from our initial visit.
Response from the owner:Hi Aika, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌟 We're thrilled to hear that Amanda was able to provide you with the guidance and support you needed. It's great to know that her knowledge and patience made a positive impact on your experience. We're here to help you every step of the way, and we're glad you found the tips and advice useful for both you and your infant. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. All the best, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team
Brandy, Suzanne and the team are amazing! They came to our rescue when our 2 weeks old baby was in dire need of help. Suzanne gave us a video call within the same day and properly diagnosed the issue that our doctor couldn't. Brandy gave practical professional advice that we can easily follow. She does it all with such passion and care for us and our baby. My husband and I are blown away by their level of knowledge, expertise and professionalism. We are so so grateful for their service. The fruit of their labour is evident: after a short period of time, baby is gaining weight and he is so much healthier and I have more than enough milk to feed him! 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!
I watched courses, I read books about breastfeeding and naively thought “I got this”
After a week of crying and being frustrated with feeding we started our journey with Karen and she is wonderful. Lots of knowledge and slowly but surely we are progressing. I appreciate her guidance while we are figuring this out.
It’s lovely to know that I am not alone and there is help out there.
Thank you Karen!

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.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding Journey!
Kristin is awesome!!!

We are so happy that Kristin and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to provide you the hope and resources you needed to start you on your breastfeeding journey. Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you, Bayou City Breastfeeding
The process of getting help was fantastic! I really liked how I got a virtual consultation before my in-person one to give me more immediate help. Katelyn was a fantastic lactation consultant! She helped me find the right pump and gave me some confidence to continue my breastfeeding journey. I will definitely be coming to this team again and recommending them to anyone that I can.
Response from the owner:Hey Robin, Wow, your words mean the world to us! We're thrilled that the virtual consultation provided immediate support before your in-person visit. Katelyn will be overjoyed to hear how her expertise and guidance boosted your breastfeeding journey. Knowing you have confidence and the right tools makes our efforts truly worthwhile. We're here for you anytime, and we can’t wait to assist you again. Thank you for spreading the word! We are so glad to have you in the BCB family! All the best, Team Bayou City Breastfeeding
I live in The Woodlands so I was disappointed that this was the closest "in network provider" that my insurance would pay 100% of the visit, and I didn't...
