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.

I came here to try to induce lactation after we adopted our son. Mandy helped me get a supply going, and also answered my myriad questions about caring for our first baby. We also did bodywork here to address his tension and help with painful latching. Highly recommend coming here for any breastfeeding needs!
Response from the owner:Hello Helen! Thank you for your glowing recommendation! It’s wonderful to hear that you and your family benefitted from Bayou City Breastfeeding’s lactation and bodywork services. We are so glad that Mandy was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to guide you through the process of inducing lactation to breastfeed your adopted baby. It was truly an honor and a privilege to be able to assist you in this journey. If there is anything else we can do to help you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are always here for you! Warmly, Bayou City Breastfeeding
My lactation consultant, Dana, has been a blessing for my family. Having a feeding expert come visit our home who immediately made me feel supported was vital to my breastfeeding success. She has continued to support me and my baby through every change and challenge that has come our way. Bayou City BF is a must for new moms, or even soon to be moms. Your baby will have a doctor and you will have a doctor, but there’s no one who covers you and baby together if you don’t have a lactation consultant. From the day I reached out for a consult, BCB hyper-communicated with me for the cost, insurance, expectations, any questions I could possibly have. I didn’t decide until after baby came home to actually schedule something and they responded to my request for an appointment immediately and I had something booked that same week. I have recommended BCB to all of my friends who are new moms!
Response from the owner:Hi Caitlyn! Thank you for your heartfelt review! It’s wonderful to hear about Dana’s impact on your breastfeeding journey. 🌟 At Bayou City Breastfeeding (BCB), we take pride in our commitment to communication, prompt scheduling, and comprehensive support. As you rightly pointed out, while babies have doctors, having a lactation consultant ensures holistic care for both mother and child. Dana’s expertise and personalized approach undoubtedly make a difference. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with BCB, Caitlyn! 🤱💕 If you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you! 😊 Best regards, The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team
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!
I had such a wonderful experience at BCB! My son struggled to breastfeed after birth, but Tiphany was a lifesaver! She got us off to a great start and even helped us incorporate bottles to decrease the chance he would reject a bottle when I had to return to work.

Now my son is 6 months old, thriving and can switch between bottles and breastfeeding.

Donique was extremely helpful during my consultation visit. I learned so much about the lactation process and nursing in general that made me feel ready to take on the challenge once my baby is born. I cannot recommend Donique and Bayou Breastfeeding more.

I have seen Nicole K. twice and during both appointments, she was extremely patient, did weighted feeds, provided tips, and made breastfeeding much easier for me and my little one. She was very thorough and went through my pump/flange size with me as well. She was happy to answer all my questions and did not make me feel rushed at all. I would highly recommend her!
So thankful to Bayou City for helping us through our oral tie release journey! Katelyn and Dr. Jade are so knowledgeable and great emotional supporters.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
