Tiphany was amazing! She helped transform our breastfeeding journey and changed our lives. She was patient with me and I always felt extremely informed by...

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bayou City Breastfeeding! We’ve been seeing Tessa and she is the absolute best! We had some latch problems with our baby from the beginning and after our first visit, Tessa gave us exercises to help and it suddenly clicked for us! Our visits are so detailed and personal, much more time than the pediatrician will spend with us! Not only did Tessa help with latch and lactation, she’s also helped us with general questions about newborn care. As first time parents, we’ve been so overwhelmed with all the information on the internet and Tessa is so patient and reassuring with all of our questions. She also has so many tips and tricks to help us care for our little girl! We are so incredibly thankful to work with her!

Went for my first appointment here as a prenatal to get prepared. I now know how to use all the devices I got for self care and breast feeding. I feel more confident I will be better prepared. They even show you how to hold your baby and to get then to latch! I wanted more then what the newborn class I had to take had and I got it. It's also in a brand new building!

I would absolutely recommend working with Kyna! I was unsure what to expect as I was able to feed my baby but we had some issues with gas and over production. Kyna showed me some great tricks and some of the daily exercises have seemed to make a huge difference.

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!

I don’t think anyone can prep you for the emotional and physical hardships of breastfeeding, especially those early months. But thank god for Bayou City Breastfeeding and for their sweet angel IBCLC Dana!! I was in a lot of pain the first month of breastfeeding. I would switch between pumping and giving my baby a bottle because I just couldn’t handle it anymore. Then I would nurse again but would just sit and cry as I would nurse him, not only because the pain but because I was so close to giving up. So I made my first appointment with them and wasn’t sure what to expect. I am so glad I did because thanks to my appointments with Dana, I’ve continued breastfeeding without pain and my baby is thriving! Dana is very thorough with her appointments and makes sure you and baby are doing as well as possible. She makes sure all your needs and questions are met. She helped me with my latch, stretches for my baby’s tongue tie and ways that I can help him with his reflux. Dana is extremely welcoming, friendly and encouraging! She is your breastfeeding cheerleader that you didn’t realize you needed! Her kind words have made me feel proud of the work I’ve done on my breastfeeding journey. Bayou City Breastfeeding’s office is also very clean, nice and cozy! You can tell they’ve put a lot of thought into making their clients feel comfortable. If you are having any problem with breastfeeding, big or small, I highly recommend making an appointment with Bayou City Breastfeeding (even better if you can request Dana!). It’s totally worth it mama!

My newborn latched on & began feeding immediately after birth. I know that would not have been possible if I had not worked with a lactation consultant...

Suzanne has been immensely helpful for both of my children. I would not have been able to breastfeed my firstborn without her depth of knowledge, patience, and connections to other providers in the greater Houston area and knowledge as to which providers would be most skilled in working with the specific needs we had. She was even able to help us identify some non-breastfeeding medical issues that we were able to address early in my son’s life because of her wide base of knowledge and attentiveness. Beyond breastfeeding, she was also able to help us create a plan for introducing solids that was tailored to helping us avoid the abundant food allergies that are prevalent in our family. I am confident that our children’s health will be better long-term on multiple fronts as a result of the guidance we received from Suzanne.

I saw Suzanne recently and had a wonderful experience! She was honest and open about her practice. The enviroment was very welcoming and I felt heard and unjudged. She is very knowledgeable about lactation and she makes me excited for my breastfeeding journey.

I had such a great visit & experience with Mary, I am so glad I chose Bayou City! My experience was warm & not rushed, we spent the better of 2 hours together & she really got to know me & my baby. She checked things you’d expect your pedi to check but they don’t always. I’m having low supply issues & thought I had tried everything but Mary still gave me good information & things to try that I haven’t. If you’re considering visiting an LC, do it!!! 10/10 Id recommend Bayou City to anyone breastfeeding!
