I can not say enough amazing things about Suzanne and her team. I came to see Suzanne at the beginning of my breastfeeding journey, and she has been a help not only with breastfeeding but with being a new mom in general. She is so smart and willing to answer any question openly and honestly. I trust her so much and wish every mom had someone like her in their corner!

Melissa is a godsend!! 💗 She is so knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful. I felt so much more confident with our newborn after meeting with her. Can’t wait for our next follow up.

My LC is Amanda and we’ve been seeing her for roughly a month now. She is such a valuable LC and is patient, kind, and proactive. She goes the lengths to make sure each of her patients are experiencing better outcomes and that they are comfortable with solutions provided for specific pain points. I’m grateful to have a LC that goes beyond the 9-5 mindset and truly cares about her clients.
Response from the owner:Madison, thank you so much for your beautiful review!
We’re incredibly grateful for your kind words and for the trust you’ve placed in Amanda and our team. It means so much to hear that Amanda’s compassion, patience, and dedication have made a meaningful impact in your journey.
At Bayou Breastfeeding, we strive to go beyond just care—we aim to create a space where every client feels supported, heard, and empowered. Amanda embodies that mission wholeheartedly, and we’re so proud to have her on our team.
Thank you again for sharing your experience. We’re honored to walk alongside you and your family, and we’re here for you every step of the way. 💜

In latches and love,

We found Bayou City Breastfeeding through a friends recommendation. We used The Lactation Network website and found that their services were completely covered under our insurance (BCBS).

Kristin, Tessa, Dr. Tyree and the entire team at Bayou City Breastfeeding- Jones road were so supportive and welcoming. They immediately make you feel comfortable and at ease, which is important with something as intimate as breastfeeding. They offer gentle guidance and suggestions without being judgmental or pushy!

They helped set us up with bodywork to address my babies head tilt and they were able to identify his lip and tongue tie! All of the staff were very understanding when I had hesitation about getting my babies ties revised and they continued to patiently provide weekly lactation support and stretches we could do at home.

When we were finally ready to have our lip/tongue tie revision they had a list of providers they recommended. I was thrilled to find an ENT covered by our insurance to do the procedure. By far the best thing was that Bayou City Breastfeeding partnered with our ENT Dr. Liu, so we had a bayou city lactation consultant on their staff present at our procedure!

I cannot recommend these amazing ladies enough! They take great pride in helping Mama’s, babies and families have the best transition from birth possible! After our wonderful experience with Bayou City Breastfeeding-Jones road, I truly believe that every baby can benefit from bodywork and seeing a lactation consultant. These ladies are some of the best in Houston!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy to be a part of your journey! ❤️
Suzanne has helped me so much during my breastfeeding journey. I had to exclusively pump the first few weeks after birth because my baby wouldn’t latch. Now we are 1 month pp exclusively breastfeeding, and I am so grateful!
Response from the owner:Hi Grace!
Thank you for your review!!!! 😊 There are certainly others who are facing similar issues with latching and have to pump exclusively at the beginning of their breastfeeding journey that will benefit from your story. 😊

We are so happy that Bayou City Breastfeeding was able to provide you the encouragement, support and help needed to continue your breastfeeding journey. Just remember you did ALL the hard work to ensure that your baby thrived!!! You are the superhero and should be proud of yourself!!!! 😊

Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊

Thank you!

Going to this appointment was very eye-opening! It is my first baby and she is eating and gaining weight fine, but I had noticed some signs over the past two weeks that were a little concerning to me and I wanted to learn more. The nurse was super informative, educated me on a ton of things I had never thought about in relation to breastfeeding position, latch, oral exercises, etc. I am definitely glad I went and will be following up soon. These appointments are for anyone and you can learn so much even if you think everything is going well so far!
Response from the owner:Hi Julianne!

Thank you for your review!!! We are sure that it will help other new moms who are on the fence about contacting a lactation consultant. 😊

We are so happy to hear that your IBCLC at Bayou City Breastfeeding was able to provide you with the encouragement and tools necessary to continue on your breastfeeding journey. Just know that you are doing the hard part: ensuring the continued health of your baby. 😊

Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. See you soon!!! 😊

I’m a first time Mother and Susan’s helped with all my breastfeeding anxiety’s. She was very supportive and educated me on all my Lil One’s needs. I’m so glad I chose Bayou City Breastfeeding Consultants!!!
My breastfeeding journey would have been over a hundred times by now if it weren’t for Suzanne and Bayou city breastfeeding. The combination of science backed facts and emotional encouragement has given me the ability to make many educated decisions for me and my baby girl. I am so so so grateful this service exists and hope it’ll be more accessible in every branch of pre and post natal healthcare soon.
