I've never been to a lactation consult before so I didn't know what to expect. I had a great experience with Melissa! She was really friendly and informative. Very easy to get along with. Breastfeeding and pumping when at work has been difficult but after meeting with Melissa, I feel better about my journey. Looking forward to our follow up appointment.
Response from the owner:Hi Staccey! 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 that Melissa was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement and tools necessary for your breastfeeding journey. Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding
Brandy is absolutely amazing. My first breastfeeding experience did not go as planned. This experience has been much better, and much less stressful!
Response from the owner:Hi Caitlin, Thank you so much for your kind words!!! We think Brandy is amazing too! 😊 We are happy to hear that Brandy and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to make your second breastfeeding experience less stressful. Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are here for you!
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.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Coming here really saved my breastfeeding journey. I could not have done it without Jen and all her knowledge and support. I learned something every time I went, and she was always responsive and encouraging when I sent messages. Thanks to her, baby and I made it to a year of breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Hi Meglyn, Thank you for your review!!!! 😊 We are so happy that Jennifer was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to provide you the encouragement, support and help needed to continue your breastfeeding journey.

After a stressful prior lactation meeting with another practice, Katelyn was the breath of fresh air my child & I needed. I came away from that visit with so much information & felt so confident in our breastfeeding & recovery journey. So so thankful for Katelyn & Bayou City Breastfeeding!

I watched courses, I read books about breastfeeding and naively thought “I got this”
After a week of crying and being frustrated with feeding we started our journey with Karen and she is wonderful. Lots of knowledge and slowly but surely we are progressing. I appreciate her guidance while we are figuring this out.
It’s lovely to know that I am not alone and there is help out there.
Thank you Karen!
