Absolutely loved our experience!
Ali was so informative and helped us so much! We are so grateful!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
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!!!

Bayou City Breastfeeding is a lifesaver! I am a second time mom, and was struggling with breastfeeding and didn't realize my baby had a lip/tongue tie....
Donique, the lactation consultant at Bayou City Breastfeeding, has been an absolute lifeline for me as a first-time mother navigating the complexities of breastfeeding. Her expertise and compassionate approach were instrumental in addressing multiple challenges my baby and I faced, including tongue tie, lip tie, reflux issues, milk supply concerns, and learning effective pumping techniques. Donique's deep understanding of lactation issues was evident from our very first session, where she patiently explained the impact of tongue and lip ties on breastfeeding and devised a comprehensive plan for treatment.

What impressed me most about Donique was her personalized care and unwavering support throughout our sessions. She took the time to listen to my concerns, offering practical advice and reassurance tailored to my specific needs. Donique's encouragement and positivity boosted my confidence and made a significant difference in my breastfeeding journey. With her guidance, I witnessed substantial improvements in my baby's feeding habits and my ability to successfully nurse and pump.

Donique's follow-up sessions were thorough and informative, demonstrating her commitment to her clients' well-being beyond the initial consultation. Her availability to address questions or concerns outside of appointments further highlighted her dedication to supporting new mothers like me. I highly recommend Donique to any mother seeking expert lactation support. Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care make her an invaluable resource for navigating the challenges of breastfeeding with confidence and success.

I am so grateful for Bayou City LC! I was having major pain from what I thought was a clogged duct. Even though it was a Sunday they called me and it turned out I have mastitis. I was able to have the consultation with Suzanne for recommendations, meet with my doctor and get a prescription all within 2 hours. ON A SUNDAY! They are genuinely caring and there to help. I don't know what I would do without them. Biggest thanks to Amanda for getting me on the books and Suzanne for taking time with me on a weekend. They also helped when I was having issues with an oversupply. I will continue to use them through my breastfeeding journey and recommending them to others. Thank you!
Mandy is amazing and so incredibly helpful! Highest recommendation for anyone needing help
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
The people at BCB are amazing and I mean honest to goodness life savers. My son quit latching very early on and after trying what felt like everything on my own, I reached out to them for help. I was nervous, exhausted out of my mind and heart broken that I couldn't get him to latch. Kristin immediately treated me like a friend, listened to what I had tried and worked with me week after week to try and remedy the situation. She introduced us to Dr. Tyree who helped treat my son's general overall body tightness which also helped make a world of difference in his disposition. When I decided to turn to exclusively pumping, week after week and month after month, I had their support and encouragement and it made a world of difference in me not giving up. Having them as a resource and a source of encouragement as a first time mom made a huge difference in my experience and I can't recommend them enough. If you're struggling with breastfeeding or are interested if baby chiropractic care can help your child, please don't hesitate to reach out to them for assistance. My son is about to turn 6 months old and is hands down a happier baby than he was the first time we walked into their office and I absolutely believe they helped us get where we are today.
Response from the owner:Hi Jessica!
Thank you for sharing your touching and deeply personal story. We are humbled that you chose Kristin, Dr. Tyree and Bayou City Breastfeeding to help you during such a trying time. We are thrilled that you and your baby benefitted from both our bodywork and lactation services. It was an honor to be part of your support team.

You should be so proud that you have a breastmilk fed baby at 6 months! That is quite a feat! Thank you for sharing that pumping exclusively is not defeat but just another path on the breastfeeding journey. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Amanda at Bayou City Katy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all our questions and was able to guide us in the best directions to take with many different options for our personal situation. She was able to give us tips not only for what we should do with our infant but also gave us helpful advice on what I could do personally on my behalf to help in the process. She was patient, and we learned a lot, just from our initial visit.
