I was fortunate enough to be able to breastfeed my last baby. With that came struggles and a search for guidance. And I found that at Bayou City Breastfeeding. My very first appointment was very personal and comforting. Some may think that being there for an hour is too much but when the appointment is just about you and your baby and how to streamline your breastfeeding journey, that hour has come and gone. I am very glad my doctor recommended them.

Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn't the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos...
Tiphany was such a God send ! We went from barely being able to breastfeed (3 weeks old) to exclusively nursing with great milk transfer by 12 weeks! She sat with me through all my frustrations and was so calm, caring, and helpful ! I’m so thankful for her!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear how Tiphany’s calm and caring approach helped transform your breastfeeding journey—from those early challenges to exclusively nursing with great milk transfer by 12 weeks.
Your story is such an inspiration and a reminder of the incredible progress that’s possible with the right support. We’re so grateful you trusted us during those tough moments, and we couldn’t be happier for you and your little one! 💕
With love and latches,

I cannot express how wonderful of an experience I had with Bayou City Breastfeeding and my lactation consultant, Mary. I met with Mary prior to having my daughter and met with her regularly over the first 4 months since she was born. We tackled together a tongue and lip tie prior to and post-surgery, along with latching and supply issues. Mary is kind and always made me feel extremely comfortable at our visits. She spent so much time with us asking all the necessary questions, showing and suggesting different techniques to use and seeing how much my daughter was being fed. We miss seeing her and thank her so much for all of the help she provided to us.

Love Mandy! Small world, she was my Labor & Delivery nurse for my firstborn. When I made an appointment to see a Lactation Consultant for my second child, I was surprised to see her! It was very special to have her be a part of our lives for both children. Anytime I had questions, she was quick to respond. Very knowledgeable and positive!
Response from the owner:Hi Jesika!
It definitely is a small world! Mandy was meant to play a role in the lives of both of your babies. 😊

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and kind words with us.

Tiphany at Bayou City Lactation was excellent to work with. If you are wanting to BF I would highly recommend BCL. She hands down saved my BF journey. She identified and addressed my baby’s tongue ties before our pediatrician did. She showed me how to use my pump. She showed me how to make BF more efficient. And she was always available through text with any questions I had. 10/10 recommend. I will use her for any baby I am blessed with in the future! Thank you BCL and Tiphany for all you do to support mothers!
Response from the owner:Callie,
Your kind words truly warm our hearts! It means so much to hear how Tiphany’s care made such a powerful impact on your breastfeeding journey. From early assessments to everyday support, she's dedicated to walking alongside every mom with knowledge and compassion. We’re so grateful you chose Bayou City Breastfeeding —here’s to many more beautiful beginnings! 💕👶✨
We had regular appointments with Ms. Karen Swan for 6 weeks. She was wonderful! I can't recommend a better place for a lactation consultant in the Katy area!
Response from the owner:Hi Ana!

Donique was fabulous. The whole experience was extremely educational and comfortable. I learned a TON of information, and it was delivered in a conversational, expert manner. The whole experience was great and I am so glad my pediatrician recommended Bayou City Breastfeeding.

Suzanne is the best! The first thing she checked was to see if my son had any restrictions in his mouth that the hospital missed. She found a tongue and lip tie! She showed me how to appropriately position to breast feed and helped gather resources for my son and I. I will be recommending them to everyone!
Response from the owner:Hi Laiya!

Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation!!!

We are so glad that Suzanne was able to guide you through the challenges of breastfeeding a baby with oral ties. It is truly an honor and a privilege to be able to assist you in this journey.
