What an amazing experience. Learned so much, patient and caring staff
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team! 🤍 Warmly, Bayou City Breastfeeding
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
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!
Response from the owner:Hi Emily, Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! Reading your kind words about your experience with us at Bayou City Breastfeeding brings immense joy to our team. We're thrilled to hear that Katelyn was able to provide you with the support and guidance you needed during your breastfeeding journey. Her dedication to her patients and her genuine care shine through in everything she does, and we're grateful to have her on our team. It's also wonderful to hear that Lisa was able to assist you effectively with your son's sleep. We understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate the sea of information online, and having knowledgeable professionals like Lisa and Katelyn to rely on makes all the difference. Thank you for entrusting us with your care and for recommending us to others in need. We're truly honored to have been a part of your support team, and we look forward to continuing to provide exceptional care to families like yours. Warm regards, Bayou City Breastfeeding
Mary was amazing! She educated me and gave me so much support.

I first sought out Bayou City Breastfeeding when I developed severe pain after weening my daughter off of shields. I had been told that she had a tongue tie and I actually made an appointment with a dentist to have it released, but a friend recommended that I call Bayou City Breastfeeding first. I hesitantly cancelled our appointment with the dentist and had my first appointment with Suzanne. She immediately knew what was causing the pain (to my surprise, it wasn’t even the tie!) and helped me find relief at our very first visit. Suzanne was so knowledgeable and informative. I knew right away that my husband and I made the right decision by seeing her first. She not only concerned herself with my baby’s weight gain and well-being, but also my own well-being.

She confirmed that my daughter did have a tongue tie and gave my husband and I an incredible amount of support, information, and preparation leading up to the procedure to have the tie released. 4 weeks later, she’s still supporting us and guiding us through the healing process. Knowing what I know now, I truly couldn’t imagine having gone through this without Suzanne (and Tessa and Ally ❤️).

It’s also worth mentioning that they work really hard to make sure they utilize any and all insurance benefits you might have. They have always thoughtfully and efficiently scheduled our appointments to coincide with bodywork, all to maximize our insurance benefits.

The team at Bayou City Breastfeeding is more than lactation consultants. Their expertise and love for what they do shows in every interaction I’ve had. I’m so thankful we found them and couldn’t possibly recommend them more highly!
Very respectful, professional, compassionate and knowledgeable. My baby came early and they were flexible to schedule me as soon as possible. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Hi Amanda! Thank you for your review!!! Babies definitely have their own timetables, and it is our goal to be as flexible as possible to meet our clients schedules. We are so happy that Bayou City Breastfeeding was 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
I found Bayou City Breastfeeding about three years ago. Suzanne helped me with my daughter to ensure my desires of breastfeeding my baby were met. She not only showed me techniques to help with her latch, she also recommended certain things I had no idea about that would help my BF journey. I’m so thankful for her help I was able to BF my daughter for 15 months before she (daughter) decided she was ready to be done. I am now back at BCBF with my new baby who has had latching issues and again Suzanne is there to help me with all her knowledge and amazingness! I definitely recommend Bayou City BF!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!
Suzanne and team have been instrumental in our baby’s breastfeeding journey. Amazing support!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your glowing review! We are so happy that Suzanne was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools you needed to continue 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
Britni is AMAZING! She was so personable and professional. She answered all of my questions and gave me a realistic plan moving forward that I’m excited to try. Can’t say enough good things about her and this experience!!
Response from the owner:Hi Staci, Thank you for your recommendation!!!! 😊 We are so happy that Britni 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. 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
Suzanne is an angel!! She’s very clear, thorough, and patient with each visit. This is my second milky baby & her services just get better & better each time. My husband is even happy to join me on my visits because he learns something new each time. I HIGHLY recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding and Suzanne! 💗
