After a stressful prior lactation meeting with another practice, Katelyn was the breath of fresh air my child & I needed. I came away from that visit with so much information & felt so confident in our breastfeeding & recovery journey. So so thankful for Katelyn & Bayou City Breastfeeding!

I saw basically everyone in the magnolia office because of my scheduling and they’re all incredibly helpful.

I’m a first time mom and my baby had to have a mouth procedure. These ladies. Helped me navigate how to best help her and heal her mouth!

Additionally, I am an over supplier and get frequent clogged milk ducts, they were able to teach me how to work through this!

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. 💕 With love and latches, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team
Went for my first appointment here as a prenatal to get prepared. I now know how to use all the devices I got for self care and breast feeding. I feel more confident I will be better prepared. They even show you how to hold your baby and to get then to latch! I wanted more then what the newborn class I had to take had and I got it. It's also in a brand new building!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so glad you had a good prenatal visit and are looking forward to meeting your little one!
So thankful to Bayou City for helping us through our oral tie release journey! Katelyn and Dr. Jade are so knowledgeable and great emotional supporters.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathy Lenert. She has gone above and beyond for me and my baby . Her support has been genuine, patient, and deeply compassionate during one of the hardest phases of new motherhood. She always makes me feel heard, understood, and cared for — not just as a feeding parent, but as a whole person. After my son’s tongue tie release she went above and beyond to call me to check in and was very supportive.
Her guidance has made such a difference in our breastfeeding journey, and I’m truly grateful for her dedication. She is a rare gem and I recommend her wholeheartedly to any new mom.

Supporting families through the challenges of early parenthood is at the heart of what we do, and it means the world to know that Kathy’s compassion, patience, and dedication made such a difference for you and your baby. Your story beautifully reflects the care and commitment Kathy brings to every family she works with — ensuring parents feel heard, understood, and supported as whole individuals. We’re especially glad her follow-up after your son’s tongue tie release brought you comfort during such an important moment in your journey. We are honored to walk alongside you in this chapter of motherhood, and your wholehearted recommendation is deeply appreciated. Thank you for trusting Bayou City Breastfeeding — and Kathy — to be part of your family’s story. 💜 With love and latches, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team 💜
