We love Suzanne..we have been thru 2 kids, 2 revision procedures and 2 totally different breastfeeding experiences.. one with just enough (sometimes not enough) and with an oversupply.. if i had to do it again i would choose her again and again to help with my breastfeeding journeys!!!
Response from the owner:Ashley, Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience with us and for choosing Bayou City Breastfeeding to see you through multiple breastfeeding journeys. As you said, each journey is different and comes with its own set of obstacles (and breakthoughs!) :-). We truly appreciate your kind words. But remember, you did all the hard work. We are so pleased that BCB was able to help. Don't hesitate to reach out it you need anything else! - Team BCB :-)
Mary was amazing! She educated me and gave me so much support.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support 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!

As a first time parents my partner and I were struggling with breastfeeding. Bayou city was recommended by our midwife and they have done an amazing job helping us adjust. They answer all questions and provide excellent education on how to properly breastfeed, how to utilize the pump effectively, and how much to feed etc. They help you come up with a feeding plan every time we have met. I would definitely recommend them.

We are thrilled to hear how Bayou City Breastfeeding was able to help you, your little one, and your partner get started on your breastfeeding journey. Being new parents can be overwhelming.

We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
Suzanne is incredible. I don’t live in the Houston area anymore but I still do virtual consultations because they are THAT good. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the sweet review -- made my day!
Mandy is awesome!! She takes her time and teaches me what I need to know. As a first time mom Im feeling more confident each day on nursing my baby and pumping for her
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
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
I am SO thankful to have found Bayou City Breastfeeding!

Dr. Chelsea (bodywork) is absolutely incredible and so gentle with the babies! My daughter LOVES getting adjusted by her and seems very relaxed after each adjustment (even if she came in with a fussy mood). Dr. Chelsea has been able to provide several helpful exercises to do throughout the week as well as suggestions for how to make tummy time more engaging. We are extremely grateful for Dr. Chelsea and the support she has given us! We could not recommend her bodywork services enough!

Kathy (lactation) has been an enormous blessing to us and our breastfeeding journey. She has a wealth of knowledge from her many years of experience in various capacities. She provides so many new ideas and resources to support our breastfeeding goals. It is obvious Kathy loves what she does and loves helping families thrive!
Response from the owner:Hi Kayla! It is wonderful to hear that you and your babies benefited from both our Bodywork (chiropractic) and Lactation services!!!! Thank you for sharing how both Dr. Chelsea and Kathy were able to support you on your post-natal journey. 😊 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
I’ve had 2 consults now with Tessa at the Jones Rd location, and baby has made so much progress with his latching. I’m not sure where our breastfeeding journey will end up, but I do know I wouldn’t have made it this far without Tessa. I’ve never felt more heard, understood, and supported. Thank you Tessa and Bayou City Breast Feeding for all that you do to help Mamas struggling to breastfeed.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Karen was absolutely wonderful! Without all her help and support I would have quit nursing. My baby had tongue and lip tie, with her guidance we were able to correct that and now we nurse with ease! I can’t thank her enough!
