brianna riley
since i found out i was pregnant i knew i wanted to breastfeed. all the nutrients and bonding my baby would get was so important to me. having a traumatic birth made it hard for my little one to latch and feel comfortable breast feeding. seeking lactation help made a huge impact! once i saw tania she was so supportive and knowledgeable. she was able to tell me my baby had a tongue tie after being told by 3 different doctors “no she didn’t or it’s not bad enough to affect her feeding”. i was able to start bodywork to help my baby feel comfortable in her body and get her frenotomy done! tania supported me through everything and wouldn’t give up on helping me achieve my goal of breastfeeding after 5 months of lactation vista and bodywork my baby can now breastfeed efficiently! a BIG THANK YOU to everyone at bayou city who helped!!

I could not possibly recommend them enough. Nicole and the team are incredible and are always available to help when I have questions between visits. The best decision I’ve ever made was to call Bayou City Breastfeeding when my little one was a few days old. We made it to 6 months and are still going strong thanks to Nicole!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the review! And congratulations on achieving 6 months of breastfeeding! You have a very lucky baby! ❤️

Katelyn is so sweet! This was my second time working with her. She identified our issues quickly and got us on the right track with some easy home excercises. Ultimately we made the choice to revise a tongue tie but we couldn't have done it without her support.
Response from the owner:Hi Faith Ann, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Being a new mother can be overwhelming. We are so glad that Katelyn was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. Please reach out if there is any additional help Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding

I've been working with Karen for 5 months now. She has been truly exceptional. She has idea galore, tips and tricks I've never heard (this is my 3rd kiddo) and sage, wise advice. I'm not sure if we would still be breastfeeding without her. She is a gem. I would absolutely recommend Karen and Bayou City Breastfeeding. Without a doubt!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. We think Karen is amazing too, and are so happy to have her on our team.
Victoria Stewart
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. Congratulations on sticking with breastfeeding!

Brandy Lightfoot and Amanda Benetz are angels for breastfeeding support! I was so lost as a first time mom because my gut was telling me my baby’s symptoms with feeds was not normal, but I couldn’t get answers elsewhere because baby’s growth was on track. From my first appointment, I knew I was in the right place and left with so much hope that things could improve. They have been by my side guiding and encouraging me through this journey and continue to go above and beyond in sharing knowledge, troubleshooting issues, and being the kindest souls to lean on each week. I only wish I had started seeing them as soon as baby was born. Can’t recommend them enough and will be forever thankful for the support.

Great class! Jen provides you with answers that you didn't even know you had questions to. Very informative. Also, real-life examples and simulation practice. We definitely felt more than prepared after taking this class.

Erika Zuckero
Top of the line lactation care for those who will spare no expense for their little one. Kristin was so caring and thoughtful as well as patient with us as new firsttime parents! My consultation really helped put my mind at ease in the early weeks, if even just to have someone to talk to and validate my concerns! If you’re on the fence about seeing an LC, don’t be—your baby will thank you (in coos and gurgles) and your mind will be so much more at ease. It’s worth the few hundred dollars to have them come to your home. Max thanks you, Kristin!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Erika, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Kristin provided you with top-notch care and put your mind at ease during those crucial early weeks. Your kind words about her patience, thoughtfulness, and support mean the world to us. We’re so glad that you and Max had such a positive experience, and we truly appreciate you recommending our services to other new parents. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re here to support you every step of the way on your breastfeeding journey. All the best to you and Max from all of us at Bayou City Breastfeeding! 💖👶🍼
Kristina C
I am so incredibly thankful for Dana and all of her help with breastfeeding! From literally the very first day out of the hospital, she has been there for us, offering breastfeeding tips and education. Without her guidance and shared knowledge, our breastfeeding journey might not have lasted.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Kristina, for your heartfelt review! Your journey is truly inspiring, and we're thrilled that Dana could be there for you from day one. Her dedication to helping families navigate breastfeeding is what drives us, and it means the world to hear how her support made a difference in your experience. We're honored to have been part of your journey, and we're here for you every step of the way. Your story is a testament to the power of guidance and shared knowledge. Here's to many more milestones together! 🍼💕 Gratefully, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team
