I am beyond grateful to have found this place. To have found Priscilla Jackson was a huge blessing in my nursing journey. If it were not for everything I learned from her, I honestly might have not been able to continue to breastfeed my baby. She taught me so much on how to breastfeed, how to help my baby with her latch, and even how to make sure that I did not run out of milk. When I came to her, I am pretty certain I was about to dry out, but because of everything she taught us she saved both my baby and I from losing such a wonderful connection. Today I can proudly say my baby is exclusively breastfed, after a lot of hard work, and all the tools that were provided to us as parents through Bayou City. I already recommended the place to all pregnant women I know. 🤭 A HUGE THANK YOU TO PRISCILLA. 🥹🫶🏼

I exclusively pump with my first baby and when Leo was born I decided I was going to reach out for help to make it work this time. Nicole has been amazing help during my breastfeeding journey this time around. She has been patient, and she has share her knowledge with me which has allow me to be confident. She has help me with latch and positioning and even discover a lip tie which we decided to not release but instead do body work. Nicole has been supportive in our decision and has provided me with tips and tricks to help my baby improve his latch. We have been EBF for 10 weeks now and all because of Nicole and BCB! I am so grateful I found Bayou City Breastfeeding 🤱!

Tessa came for a home visit and was extremely knowledgeable. She was able to assess the amount of milk taken during the nursing session, provide some guidance and help on latching and give some personal feedbacks on milk supply and pump settings. I really enjoyed the first session and I am already planning to do another one to see the progress.

I am so thankful for Donique. When we came to her, we were diagnosed with failure to thrive and so frustrated. We almost gave up our breastfeeding journey. Donique helped us find and treat a tongue and lip tie and nurse through all the obstacles. She gave me so much hope and reassurance. I am incredibly happy we had her to help is.
Response from the owner:Hi Victoria,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are thrilled to hear that Donique and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you and your family. We understand that having a baby that isn’t thriving can be scary, and we’re glad that Donique was the perfect IBCLC for you.

Karen is AMAZING. Seriously, she has been so incredibly helpful in educating me on breastfeeding as a first time mom! Call them if you need someone to do in home visit with you or an office to go to. I did both and it was great. Highly recommend!

Suzanne is wonderful. I had a lot of trauma related to becoming a mother, a lot of trauma from having to be induced and my son having to spend time in nicu, and a lot of fear of failure as a mom. she empowered me to make decisions, to build a healthy nursing relationship with my son, and continue breastfeeding beyond my minimum goal of a year. I don't think I could have done it without her-no judgment-meet you where you are- attitude and encouragement. My son overcame his tongue tie and gain issues and is a strong, healthy, taller than average, 2 year old.

Ariel was very helpful, patient, and informative! She also gave great recommendations and resources. The session gave me so much hope when I thought there wasn't any hope. I would definitely recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to other families.
