Tiphany was such a God send ! We went from barely being able to breastfeed (3 weeks old) to exclusively nursing with great milk transfer by 12 weeks! She sat with me through all my frustrations and was so calm, caring, and helpful ! I’m so thankful for her!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear how Tiphany’s calm and caring approach helped transform your breastfeeding journey—from those early challenges to exclusively nursing with great milk transfer by 12 weeks.
Your story is such an inspiration and a reminder of the incredible progress that’s possible with the right support. We’re so grateful you trusted us during those tough moments, and we couldn’t be happier for you and your little one! 💕
With love and latches,

I am so grateful for Priscilla, from the very beginning she wanted to make sure how I was doing and always there for any support I needed. I worked with her for my sons tongue tie release and BF/feeding support. I am thankful I had her help and also got to work with Mandy and Karen (at the pediatric dentist) for the release. I would also see them in the office and they truly care about all of their patients. Thank you ladies for all of your help!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Brooke! Your kind words truly warmed our hearts. It was an absolute honor for Priscilla to walk alongside you during your feeding journey—and we’re so glad she could offer the support and care you needed, every step of the way. We'll be sure to share your appreciation with Mandy and Karen, too—they’ll be thrilled to know they made a difference.

Nothing makes us happier than knowing you felt seen, supported, and empowered. Thank you for letting us be a part of such a special chapter in your family's story!
Highly recommended, everyone is so nice. Suzanne made feel so comfortable and made me trust in myself, it is a life changing for me and my baby.

Can’t recommend enough!
Response from the owner:Carol,

It means so much to us that your experience has been life‑changing for you and your little one. We’re truly honored to be part of your feeding journey, and we’re here for you anytime you need support.

Kristin is awesome. She helped my wife a lot even in just one visit with the many breastfeeding concerns we have had with our newborn. We highly recommend her and Bayou City Breastfeeding in general. Can't wait for our next visit and for our kiddo to improve in his breastfeeding. God bless y'all.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Can't recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding enough. Video triage visits are available if in-person visit availability is lagging. In-person visits are not rushed (90 min) with pre- and post-feeding weights of baby to ensure transfer. I learned an immense amount from my LC that completely changed my approach to breastfeeding, helped my baby increase milk transfer with less painful latch, assisted us with changing bottle nipples to address issues we were having, and eased my anxiety. Easy to communicate with staff via text message. Billing department is also very responsive and ensures complete understanding of expected insurance coverage (my visits to date have been 100% covered by UHC).
Response from the owner:Hi Megan,
Thank you for your amazing review! We’re so glad both the triage and in-person visits gave you the support you needed. It’s wonderful to hear that our guidance on latch, milk transfer, and bottle nipple adjustments made a real difference for you and your baby.

Clear communication and transparency are priorities for us, so we’re thrilled our team and billing department helped make everything stress-free.

We greatly appreciate your trust in our ENTIRE team and are always here if you need us again!

With love and latches,

Rosalba Gutierrez is an amazing lactation consultant. She also takes Aetna insurance, but if you contact her she can refer you to check whether she may be...
Bayou City Breastfeeding is a must! I booked a session right after having my baby when I discovered we were having issues with latching/feeding. I knew my baby wasn’t getting enough to eat early on and freaked out. I worked with Jennifer and she is great, I highly recommend her! She listens to your feeding goals and provided me with so many helpful tips! Tip for new moms, book one consultation before you deliver your baby so you can have a good feeding plan ahead of time then do follow-up appointments after baby is here.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
Very personable and took the time to listen. Recommendations were provided and not forced which was nice!

Suzanne is an angel!! She’s very clear, thorough, and patient with each visit. This is my second milky baby & her services just get better & better each time. My husband is even happy to join me on my visits because he learns something new each time. I HIGHLY recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding and Suzanne! 💗
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!
