I have used Jessica from Bayou City Breastfeeding now for both of my children. She was instrumental in making sure that we were successful in breastfeeding, allowing me to get off to a good start with my second and to nurse for close to two years with my first. She is responsive and went above and beyond to be available for appointments and questions. I would recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to anyone looking for lactation support!

I am so grateful I found Bayou City Breastfeeding! My appointments with Suzanne were the most helpful appointments I've ever had. I have learned so much and...
I had a great experience at Bayou City Breastfeeding at the Jones Rd office. I saw IBCLC Dana. She was absolutely wonderful! She was easy to talk to, nonjudgmental, and and answered all my questions with advice and reasons to back up the advice. I felt heard, seen, and validated, and the appointment did not feel rushed at all. At first I wanted an in-home visit but they didn’t have any available but were able to get me in the officeβ€”it was probably good for me to get out of the house honestly! I absolutely recommend ANY nursing mom to see an IBCLC here, even if it’s just for reassurance! 1000% worth it.
Response from the owner:Hi Wendy,
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 Dana was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement, support and help you needed to continue your breastfeeding journey.

This company is absolutely wonderful!! I worked with 3 different IBCLCs (depending on which location was most convenient and my crazy schedule - they were extremely accommodating), and they were all phenomenal!! Brandy is experienced and helped me get through a lot of challenges during my breastfeeding journey. The owner, Suzanne, is knowledgeable and cares a great deal about each mother/baby pair that walks through that door. I cannot recommend them enough!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review. We are so happy to be a part of your journey and support you along the way!
I had an appt with Katelyn and it was excellent! She gave me a lot of very good information regarding my baby and breastfeeding. It gave me a lot of hope for our breastfeeding journey. I highly recommend!!

Tiphany was the absolute best! She was very knowledgeable and gave great insight/tips. She was very patient, kind, caring and really listened to what you had to say and what your concerns were. She was a true blessing and because of her I was able to continue my breastfeeding journey. I would recommend her to any of my breastfeeding friends!
Response from the owner:Hi Gabriela!
Thank you for your glowing recommendation!!!! 😊

It is wonderful to hear that Tiphany was able to provide you the encouragement and hope you needed to continue your breastfeeding journey.

Tessa is a wealth of information and practical instruction. She provides evidenced based information while encouraging the mother's innate intuition. When 1st met with Tessa for a prenatal visit the week of our baby's due date, which set us up for success. Afterwards, we met with Tessa at 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months (rough estimates). I cannot emphasize how helpful she is, especially as a first time mom & breastfeeder. If you're on the fence, just do it.
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Tessa and Bayou City Breastfeeding. It's wonderful to hear how our prenatal and lactation consultations have supported your breastfeeding journey, especially as a first-time mom.
We're thrilled that Tessa's blend of evidence-based information and encouragement has been instrumental for you. Your story will surely inspire other new parents considering lactation support.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance, or if there's more we can do to support you and your family.
Thank you again for choosing Bayou City Breastfeeding!
Warm regards,

Can't recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding enough. Video triage visits are available if in-person visit availability is lagging. In-person visits are not rushed (90 min) with pre- and post-feeding weights of baby to ensure transfer. I learned an immense amount from my LC that completely changed my approach to breastfeeding, helped my baby increase milk transfer with less painful latch, assisted us with changing bottle nipples to address issues we were having, and eased my anxiety. Easy to communicate with staff via text message. Billing department is also very responsive and ensures complete understanding of expected insurance coverage (my visits to date have been 100% covered by UHC).
Response from the owner:Hi Megan,
Thank you for your amazing review! We’re so glad both the triage and in-person visits gave you the support you needed. It’s wonderful to hear that our guidance on latch, milk transfer, and bottle nipple adjustments made a real difference for you and your baby.

Clear communication and transparency are priorities for us, so we’re thrilled our team and billing department helped make everything stress-free.

We greatly appreciate your trust in our ENTIRE team and are always here if you need us again!

With love and latches,
The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team

Brandy is absolutely amazing. My first breastfeeding experience did not go as planned. This experience has been much better, and much less stressful!
Response from the owner:Hi Caitlin,
