I am so grateful for Bayou City LC! I was having major pain from what I thought was a clogged duct. Even though it was a Sunday they called me and it turned out I have mastitis. I was able to have the consultation with Suzanne for recommendations, meet with my doctor and get a prescription all within 2 hours. ON A SUNDAY! They are genuinely caring and there to help. I don't know what I would do without them. Biggest thanks to Amanda for getting me on the books and Suzanne for taking time with me on a weekend. They also helped when I was having issues with an oversupply. I will continue to use them through my breastfeeding journey and recommending them to others. Thank you!
Bayou City Breastfeeding is a lifesaver! I am a second time mom, and was struggling with breastfeeding and didn't realize my baby had a lip/tongue tie....
I thought all hope was lost. I wanted to give up so many times. My goal was 1 year. Then I said maybe 3 months. Maybe 6 months. Maybe 9 months. BUT HERE I AM. 1 year later. I have brandy to thank for that. Her knowledge, her patience, her ability to give me a CHOICE. to give me the freedom to make an Informed consent. To be able show me and help me. She was there whenever I needed her. She was kind and patient and believed in me when I didn’t believe in me. When I say you NEED a great lactation consultants to help you in your journey when you’re lost, I cannot emphasize that enough.
Go to brandy.
Go to bayou city breastfeeding. It’ll change everything!

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 am SO thankful to have found Bayou City Breastfeeding!

Dr. Chelsea (bodywork) is absolutely incredible and so gentle with the babies! My daughter LOVES getting adjusted by her and seems very relaxed after each adjustment (even if she came in with a fussy mood). Dr. Chelsea has been able to provide several helpful exercises to do throughout the week as well as suggestions for how to make tummy time more engaging. We are extremely grateful for Dr. Chelsea and the support she has given us! We could not recommend her bodywork services enough!

Kathy (lactation) has been an enormous blessing to us and our breastfeeding journey. She has a wealth of knowledge from her many years of experience in various capacities. She provides so many new ideas and resources to support our breastfeeding goals. It is obvious Kathy loves what she does and loves helping families thrive!
Response from the owner:Hi Kayla!

It is wonderful to hear that you and your babies benefited from both our Bodywork (chiropractic) and Lactation services!!!!

Thank you for sharing how both Dr. Chelsea and Kathy were able to support you on your post-natal journey. 😊

since i found out i was pregnant i knew i wanted to breastfeed. all the nutrients and bonding my baby would get was so important to me. having a traumatic birth made it hard for my little one to latch and feel comfortable breast feeding. seeking lactation help made a huge impact! once i saw tania she was so supportive and knowledgeable. she was able to tell me my baby had a tongue tie after being told by 3 different doctors ā€œno she didn’t or it’s not bad enough to affect her feedingā€. i was able to start bodywork to help my baby feel comfortable in her body and get her frenotomy done! tania supported me through everything and wouldn’t give up on helping me achieve my goal of breastfeeding after 5 months of lactation vista and bodywork my baby can now breastfeed efficiently! a BIG THANK YOU to everyone at bayou city who helped!!

Dana has been one of my biggest supporters and encouragers postpartum. She helped me through difficulty pumping, identifying my babies food allergies and helping me adjust his diet accordingly, and most importantly she was always there to listen and give advice. I recommend Dana to everyone I know who has had a baby recently.
Response from the owner:
