Bayou City saved my breastfeeding journey. I successfully breastfed my son with little to no problems. So when I had my daughter and was struggling with breastfeeding her I was frustrated to the point of giving up. My friend mentioned Bayou City Breastfeeding and so I made an appointment. At that appointment Suzanne mentioned that we may be dealing with a tongue tie and suggested I see someone to have it revised. Suzanne taught me the exercises to help my daughter heal and checked her wound site frequently to make sure she was healing appropriately. Suzanne was with me every step of the way and available to answer any questions I had. We are now feeding much better and spitting up less. My daughter is so much happier and so am I!

Second kiddo and a whole new set of obstacles on our journey, Bayou City Breastfeeding has been there with us every step of the way. They have helped us with SNS feeding, pumping, formula feeding, low supply, tongue and lip ties, body work, pediatric chiropractic referrals, everything under the sun that has been thrown at us. We never would have been able to come as far as we have without the support we've received from this team.

I’m so thankful for finding Bayou City Breastfeeding! We had a few sessions with Karen in preparation for my son’s tongue tie revision. She was extremely helpful before and after the procedure was performed. She was very knowledgeable and had a lot of tips and tricks. I will always recommend them to everyone!!

Breastfeeding was an incredibly difficult journey for me from the very first day but Suzanne made me feel like I got this!. I lost a lot of my supply after the first two weeks which she helped me regain pretty quickly with all the tips and tricks, which were hard and a lot of work but they worked!. My daughter was never able to latch successfully on a constant basis, it was more of a hit and miss dependent on a million things that were out of my control. Suzanne was able to advice me even over text when I had to move abroad. In total I was able to breastfeed (mostly pump during the day and breastfeed at night because of my stubborn baby) for 6 months and give her frozen breast milk for another two. This really was a blessing for her immune system because after the first year of life were she had a few viral infections she never again (she is 2 now) had any illness. It seems like her system really did benefit from all the hard work I put in!. What I liked most about Suzanne was that she never judged me, she never pressured me or told me there is only one way or the highway. She set realistic expectations and told me that every day that I breastfeed is a win for my daughter but if I can’t, if I need to supplement then it’s also OK and that I should do what I can not what I’m supposed to do.
Thank you for all your teachings! I’ll definitely be back if I have baby Nr.2!

When I called Suzanne the day my daughter was born because I was concerned she might have a tongue tie, Suzanne was quick to find someone in my area who could make a home visit...and she was able to come over that evening! When Suzanne found out I didn’t have insurance she offered to let me apply for their grant which greatly reduced the financial burden and allowed me to get the immediate help I needed to get us on the right track for breastfeeding. Mary was our lactation consultant and she has been a God-send. She is so experienced and knowledgeable about breastfeeding, lip and tongue ties and she is always so encouraging! She took her time with each appointment we had with her. I wanted to avoid giving my babe the bottle and she helped us navigate our breastfeeding journey in a way that helped us stay on the right track...getting my babe the nourishment she needed while keeping her at the breast as much as possible...all without introducing the bottle. Mary was always checking in on us between appointments through text and phone calls. Because of Mary’s incredible support my babe is very close to being weaned off the supplementation and completely exclusively breastfeeding!

Suzanne is amazing!! She has helped me with all 4 of my kids 3 of which were tongue tied! This is for sure her calling to help and encourage mama's to stay the course and breastfeed!! I've have recommended her to many mama's who have struggled and will continue to do so!! ❤

Erica was FANTASTIC. Like, 5 star service for sure. She was personable, knowledgeable, and just all around wonderful. Will definitely call her again when/if I need help.The office .... well ... they’re a hot mess. Booked my appointment, removed it from the calendars, booked it again, lost it again, booked it a 3rd time and that finally stuck. Then they asked me to fill out intake paperwork twice. I paid for the home visit, and they tried to run my card a second time because they somehow couldn’t see that the charge had been processed, applied to my account, and a receipt had been auto-emailed to me? Thankfully my bank caught it as a suspicious charge and wouldn’t let them run it a second time more than a week after the first charge was applied and cleared.Don’t let the train wreck admin situation deter you - again - the visit with Erica was amazing and so very helpful. Just watch the office carefully and make sure you communicate well.

My initial consultation was amazing! Nicole listened to all my concerns and issues we've been having then gave tips on how we could begin fixing them. She demonstrated exercises and made sure she explained everything we discussed in detail. I feel like baby and I are in great hands and on our way to a healthy breastfeeding journey.

We are grateful that Suzanne was able to make a home visit to evaluate my son's lip/tongue tie in the middle of a pandemic. She came highly recommended by our baby doula and our son's dentist's office. First of all, Suzanne understood our worries about COVID-19 and did everything she could to put our minds at ease and to keep us and our baby safe by being transparent about their cleaning protocols and by following very strict home visit protocols (reporting temperatures, masks on, gloves on, social distancing, hand washing, and diligently disinfecting equipments, etc). I would not have put my trust on anyone else to come in to our home at this time. During the visit, she was very thorough in taking my son's history, from birth up until now, and doing a complete physical evaluation from head to toe. Given her background and experience, she was able to identify additional issues quickly and make recommendations in order to avoid invasive procedures in the future. When the issue was not within her scope of practice, she immediately identified pertinent help for us to mitigate the issue. She followed up with us via email and text to make sure our questions were answered. She was extremely efficient, straightforward, and thoughtful, which is exactly the qualities we looked for in healthcare provider. We very much have enjoyed our visit with Suzanne and so did my 13-week old son!

I could not be happier with my experience with BCBLC. Breastfeeding is hard and on top of that we had to deal with NICU, tongue and lip ties and low breast milk supply. Suzanne has been there for us every step of the way. She is very knowledgeable and works with you to make sure you meet your own goals whether they may be exclusively breastfeeding or exclusively pumping or a mix of BM and formula. She is always available over phone or text and she is very professional. At every meeting she provides specific and manageable goals which she documents in a document that she makes available at the end of the session. Over the years she has built a great network of dentists, chiropractors, nutritionists, pediatricians so she is also able to provide good recommendations whenever needed. I would definitely recommend her to any new mama.

My 4 month old and I are extremely grateful for all the information and training we received from a home visit with Tiphany. Thanks to her, we are now on the right path to addressing some serious lip, tongue and buccal ties! In turn my babe will drastically reduce her risks of oral malformations as she develops during her childhood years. And of course improve her ability to take a bottle, which was the original reason for our visit! Thank you Tiphany!!

Tiphany was wonderful! After suffering with mastitis several times she gave me helpful ways to prevent it and got me in contact with some other professionals to help my son. I would recommend her help to any breast feeding mamas!

My baby girl was revised a little after she was 2 weeks old. I could pump about half an ounce. From both sides. She was formula fed except for what little I could pump. After triple feeding, renting a hospital grade pump, trying supplements and so so so much more we are now only breastfeeding!! She will be 4 months old in a week. Tessa was such an encouragement as she worked with us, and I was always able to contact her if I needed help outside our visits. We are beyond thankful for Tessa for helping us get here!

I am beyond grateful for Suzanne and her whole team at Bayou City Breastfeeding. She helped me get my son’s tongue tie released for the second time and was with us the entire way from the initial appointments, to the actual procedure, to all the aftercare. She and her staff truly care about what they’re doing and we were given the most personal and loving care the whole time. Having someone with so much breastfeeding knowledge is helpful when you have a newborn, but also as your child ages (my son was 9 months when we started seeing Suzanne). I couldn’t recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding enough!

Visited with my daughter about 2 weeks after she was born. Setting the appointment was easy as they would just text my phone which was best for me with a newborn. I was so happy that I went. I left feeling reassured that my baby was getting enough to eat and my production was adequate and coming along. I felt totally comfortable and at home with the consultant even though I am a pretty modest person. She was very kind and reassuring and gentle with my baby. She gave me some great advice, taught me some great exercises I could help my baby practice and gave me some great referrals to have a lip and tongue tie evaluated. I will probably set up a follow up consult here soon now that the lip and tongue tie have been evaluated to make sure my babies latch is the best latch.

Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn't the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos...

I had my daughter at 32 weeks. My daughter wasn’t able to breastfeed on her own so, I decided to call in a lactation. Suzanne was sooo helpful! She quickly identified the issue (lip/tongue tie). In the meantime I got support, advice and tips on how to helo her feed until she got her toes corrected.Once my daughter got her 2 month vaccines she was able to get it checked out by her dentist and got it fixed. I continued going to Suzanne until we graduated! 6 months later, and my daughter is now a pro!*One more thing, I got so much help for when I went back to work as far as how long, and how often I should pump. Suzanne also went out her way to fight for my pumping rights during work hours.

I had such a great visit & experience with Mary, I am so glad I chose Bayou City! My experience was warm & not rushed, we spent the better of 2 hours together & she really got to know me & my baby. She checked things you’d expect your pedi to check but they don’t always. I’m having low supply issues & thought I had tried everything but Mary still gave me good information & things to try that I haven’t. If you’re considering visiting an LC, do it!!! 10/10 Id recommend Bayou City to anyone breastfeeding!

I first used Suzanne three years ago when I had my first daughter. She helped diagnose tongue tie and helped me be successful with breast-feeding when I was ready to quit. I just had twin babies in November and was worried about having enough milk supply. I struggled with it with my first one. She recommended good supplements and helped tremendously during her visits with lots of tips and techniques to make it work. Suzanne is super professional and definitely know what she's doing! I recommend her to anyone who is having a baby. My twin babies are 4 1/2 months old and are super healthy, chunky, happy babies! Thanks for your help!

Erica was amazingly helpful. Before I met with her I had given up on breastfeeding and now my baby and I are able to latch and feed on a consistent basis. Can not recommend this enough! They even take insurance!

We are told breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world. Yet when it doesn’t come naturally to you (I don’t think it does to anyone to be honest), we can feel an immense sense of fret and failure. Then the pressure to give up seeps in. That’s where I was the day I found Suzanne. Exhausted at home with a 7 day old I couldn’t comfort enough. Suzanne taught me everything I know about nursing. More importantly she taught me to find the confidence in myself and to trust my body. I went on to nurse my first for 17 months and then a second for 17 months. I worked full time and successfully pumped more than enough for my babies. Neither ever had a drop of formula. Your body can do this. You just may need help. Our society does not teach women this skill. Thank God for Suzanne and others like her.

I am so thankful for home visits during this time (pandemic). Bayou City Breastfeeding as a company did great as a company to make sure we were safe. Asked us for temperatures prior to letting our LC come into our home. When she arrived she immediately washed her hand and was wearing a mask. I absolutely love Tiphany! She has made herself so available for me and is just such an amazing support.

Brandy, Suzanne and the team are amazing! They came to our rescue when our 2 weeks old baby was in dire need of help. Suzanne gave us a video call within the same day and properly diagnosed the issue that our doctor couldn't. Brandy gave practical professional advice that we can easily follow. She does it all with such passion and care for us and our baby. My husband and I are blown away by their level of knowledge, expertise and professionalism. We are so so grateful for their service. The fruit of their labour is evident: after a short period of time, baby is gaining weight and he is so much healthier and I have more than enough milk to feed him! Highly Recommend!

Elitia Huang

Went for my first appointment here as a prenatal to get prepared. I now know how to use all the devices I got for self care and breast feeding. I feel more confident I will be better prepared. They even show you how to hold your baby and to get then to latch! I wanted more then what the newborn class I had to take had and I got it. It's also in a brand new building!

After working with four different practitioners for my daughter's tongue and lip tie therapy I found someone who is actually able to help me! Suzanne answered so many questions I had helping me to feel confident with the risk and outcomes associated with the procedure. She is highly experienced with oral restrictions and her skill level shows. Also the receptionist Abigail was of tremendous emotional support to me as I was really overwhelmed when I found Bayou City Breastfeeding, she showed up and resourced me. True customer service all the way around. I highly suggest working with Bayou City Breastfeeding for any lactation and oral restriction needs.

Bayou City Breastfeeding has been an amazing resource for me! I never thought after breastfeeding my first for 22 months I would have issues breastfeeding my second. Karen has helped me have so much confidence in the goals I’ve set for myself and baby. My breastfeeding journey is still a work in progress and I’m grateful I can keep in contact with my ibclc when questions arise. I highly recommend the services provided with this amazing company!

Ashley Thompson

We love our IBCLC, Tiphany, at Bayou City Breastfeeding! She is incredibly knowledgeable and has gone above and beyond to help us troubleshoot feeding issues we have encountered. I will be reaching out to them for any/all future children, and I have already told all of my friends they need to work with them (even the ones who aren’t pregnant yet)!

I was referred by another mama who had a great experience with Bayou Breast Feeding and I’m so glad they did! Tiphany was extremely helpful and non-judgmental. She led me on to the fact that my daughter has a tongue tie and gave me so many options to fix it. I’m so thankful to have found Bayou City and highly recommend to all mamas who are at any stage of their BF journey!

I had the pleasure of working with Tiphany today and I cannot say enough about my visit! This is my third baby and second round breastfeeding. We never experienced ties before and todays visit made me feel so much more confident that we can make breastfeeding work. We spent a great deal of time really making sure I understood how to work best with my infant on a deeper latch. Given exercises and many great resources for after. Words can’t express how grateful I am for todays visit and all the help, care, and compassion Tiphany shared with us. We will be forever grateful and look forward to our follow up.

Brittany Grubbs

22:10 16 Mar 22

Loved my experience at BCB with Suzanne. I knew before giving birth I would see a lactation consultant for the best breastfeeding journey possible, even without apparent “problems.” Suzanne kept a super clean space and helped me with proper latch technique, engorgement, gave us exercises for my son’s many oral ties to hopefully avoid issues in the future, and made sure of my well-being as a woman. Felt very personal and informative. Can’t wait to go back for my follow up.

Jasmine Welch

23:55 03 Jan 22

Suzanne is really a Godsend! She immediately identified the problems with my breastfeeding and ways to improve. It’s been a week and my baby and I have made such progress; we definitely owe it all to her.

Bayou City Breastfeeding was recommended to us by the lactation consultant at the hospital. Suzanne has a passion for what she does and made a home visit during the pandemic when everything was shut down. Our son was losing weight, didn’t have a good latch, and I was having issues with my milk production. She is very knowledgeable and diligently worked with me. No question was ever stupid to her. Our son quickly regained weight, had a tongue-tie addressed, and I was able to increase my milk. It wasn’t a full milk supply due to my underlying health issue, but Suzanne was very supportive. Thank you, Suzanne!

I had a very difficult experience with my little guys latch along with yeast and thrush that was making me want to give up. If it wasn’t for Suzanne I would not be having the perfect latch and no pain feeds I am now experiencing. After a tongue and lip tie procedure and a very detailed plan my little man is a pro. She is very knowledgeable and patient along with being very passionate and caring. I just wish I had known about her with my first child.

Tiphany was wonderful, such an amazing person to welcome into our home, especially with the COVID. She 100% took every precaution necessary and stayed for 3 hours. So informative and helpful. Can not recommend her highly enough. Plus she came like the day after the birth! Super awesome and amazing, were excited to have our next consult with her!

My son had a tongue and lip tie and was transferring less than an ounce at our first visit with Tessa. She identified the ties and after the revision we met regularly with Tessa for after care and breastfeeding support. We are now exclusively breastfeeding and I owe so much to Tessa's support and guidance! She encouraged me to stick with it and gave me the perspective I needed. Thank you!

Stephanie Houston

11:51 29 May 17

Suzanne is phenomenal. She discovered my sons tongue tie and pointed us to a doctor who could help him. She also gave countless useful tips and encouragement that helped me breastfeed my son for >1.5 years. I highly recommend her services!!

I worked with Nicole and Bayou City Breastfeeding and absolutely loved the experience! It was always easy to set up an appointment, comfortable during the appointment (even in the trying times of Coronavirus) and I always learned so much. As a mother of two I wish I had used Bayou City Breastfeeding with my first kiddo. The knowledge I gained has made my breastfeeding journey so much more enjoyable and less confusing this time around. I highly recommend this practice and Nicole as well, they truly care and will take great care of you!

Jessica Onstad

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!

I have worked with Suzanne after both of my pregnancies with my boys and could not have made it without her! After seeing six different lactation consultants with no successful resolutions to my myriad of breastfeeding issues, Suzanne was a true blessing in every way once I was under her care! She helped identify that both my boys had lip and tongue ties in which we corrected. The corrections helped resolve some issues but it was with Suzanne's compassion, expertise, and never ending support that I was able to successfully nurse my first boy to 14 months and am currently 5 months in with my second baby. I have/had extreme oversupply issues, clogged ducts, thrush, mastitis and every imaginable obstacle occur in my nursing journey. In addition to that, my oldest son had feeding difficulties and would not latch or take a bottle. Suzanne outlined a plan of care for me and my boys, took the time to listen to my concerns, and answered all questions along the way. Within that plan, I worked with a couple speech pathologists and chiropractic to help address my son’s issues. We worked for months together through it all and it wasn't until month 9 that we were able to successfully get him on a bottle! I owe all that I've learned and my nursing journey to her help and support. I highly recommend Suzanne to any mothers in need of help with breastfeeding. She has worked with numerous of my friends and family members, all of which were successful in nursing their babies to one year and beyond! She’s the best!!

I will be forever grateful to Nicole Kerbow for showing up at my door steps in the moment of my complete desperation.After our pediatrician told us that our baby had a tongue tie and he wasn’t able to breastfeed as normal - which caused a good amount of weight loss in 2 days - we were advised to call our lactation consultant asap. We called Nicole! And she was there for us with her “world of knowledge” about breastfeeding as well as anything and everything baby related.Just imagine being a first time mom, trying figure things out, failing at it ... even though you felt like you’ve read everything there is to know. Breastfeeding is a science and without Nicole, I would have given up!Nicole is one of the top lactation consultants, hands down. She is also the most amazing and caring human being that loves what she does. Nicole gave me my piece of mind and confidence that I needed In the moment of crisis. We are so lucky that we were referred to her.Note: Goldman Sachs’ New parent program for their employees refers Bayou City Breastfeeding LLC. astheir top lactation consultants for Houston - make sure you ask for Nicole!

I saw Suzanne for help with recurrent clogged ducts and feeding issues. She helped us identify the cause of the issues and worked with us to create a plan. My baby has been feeding much better and is gaining weight again. She is also much less fussy and so much happier thanks to some natural reflux remedies.

Kristine McLeod

I found Bayou City Breastfeeding about three years ago. Suzanne helped me with my daughter to ensure my desires of breastfeeding my baby were met. She not only showed me techniques to help with her latch, she also recommended certain things I had no idea about that would help my BF journey. I’m so thankful for her help I was able to BF my daughter for 15 months before she (daughter) decided she was ready to be done. I am now back at BCBF with my new baby who has had latching issues and again Suzanne is there to help me with all her knowledge and amazingness! I definitely recommend Bayou City BF!

Bailey Garza

If it weren't for Suzanne's help I would not have been able to breastfeed my son. She turned a horrible experience into a success. When I had my daughter, I knew one of my first appointments after being released for the hospital needed to be with Suzanne, she helped me start off strong and I had a great breastfeeding experience. I just had my second daughter and because of the coaching Suzanne gave with my first 2 I felt confident about breastfeeding and have had no issues. I am so grateful for Suzanne. If I wouldn't have found her, I know I wouldn't have been able to nurse my children.

Nicole was prompt at today’s consultation. She was friendly and made me feel very comfortable discussing the issues I was facing. She was able to answer all my questions and gave excellent advise and showed me how to get my baby to latch and different ways to hold her while feeding. She also went over with me how to use the breast pump more efficiently and I already see much improvement. I look forward to our follow up consultation next week.

After a disheartening 6 month check up revealed my little man was still not gaining weight (although he was breastfeeding 8-10 times a day), I knew I needed some wisdom and guidance from a specialist. Suzanne performed a mouth assessment first thing and pointed out our son's tongue tie - much to our surprise as he had tongue tie surgery at 5 days old! While it was frustrating to learn that his tongue tie had not been performed completely or it had reattached (something our first doctor did not warn us about or even mention being a possibility), it was so great to figure out what the issue was. He was eating plenty of times a day, but was not eating as efficiently has he should've been. Suzanne's knowledge and guidance through a second tongue tie procedure and recovery process (much more involved second time around) was vital! My supply also tanked at this time and she got me on a plan to get it back up. It wasn't easy, but she was realistic and encouraging and provided the structure and education I needed to make it happen. Happy to report our little man has the cutest of rolls, back on the charts, growing like a weed and I was able to stick with my goal of breastfeeding for at least one year (which at one point was looking super grim!) So so thankful for Suzanne's help, accessibility and coaching through one of the hardest stretches of motherhood to date. Even if you're not having any major issues, I highly recommend meeting with a lactation consultant! The education, tips and tricks are invaluable! Thank you thank you thank you!

I am on my third baby and all of them have had tongue ties and lip ties. It wasn’t an easy process at all. The dentist that did my second daughters tongue tie reversion did a great job with giving me information and how it effects everything your body does but there was no work a head of time and only 1 follow up appointment. Because of COVID I didn’t know what to do about my baby boy hurting me while nursing. A friend told me to look at bayou city breastfeeding so I made an appointment and man has it changed my life! Not only do they take insurance which is amazing, but the knowledge that they have is abundant! Also it is so so easy to get in contact because you can text at anytime and you will receive a response pretty quick! If all that wasn’t enough they are there for every step of the way to make sure you are ready for the procedure to going with you to the appointment and then follow ups! I truly am so thankful for bayou city breastfeeding. They help you with way more then just getting your child to latch properly! They want both the baby and mother are happy and healthy. I would refer anyone and everyone to them!

Great experience at BCB! Nicole was kind and knowledgeable and I felt she truly understood my concerns and issues.

Nicole with Bayou City Breastfeeding provided much needed support to me as a new mom. They facilitated verifying my insurance benefits (BCBS PPO) which did provide coverage for the lactation apts. They billed the cost directly to my insurance which was a big timesaver. I opted to have the consults at my home, so I did have to pay a travel fee, but well worth the convenience with a new baby. The first apt was very thorough, over 2 hours long in which she took a detailed medical history and listened to my concerns. She provided me with a variety of tools and tips to try, with lots of kindness and encouragement. At follow up visits we reviewed different positions, best latch techniques, and a plan for pumping when I returned to work. After each visit I received a detailed email with plan and resources. For any moms with breastfeeding concerns I highly recommend Nicole! With her help my baby was able to drop formula supplementation and is back on 100% breast milk.

We started seeing Karen when my baby was 2 weeks old due to not gaining enough weight and a tongue tie, now my baby is almost 5 months, EBF and gaining like a champ! It was so hard and every week in the beginning I just made it my goal to get to my next lactation appointment. Karen was always so encouraging, kind and helpful. She truly understood what I was going through and made me feel so important and seen. I'm so grateful for BCB and especially Karen! If you're struggling, do yourself a favor and make an appt, you will not regret it.

Highly recommend these group of professionals. Very nurturing and knowledgeable. My coach guided me through the toughest times of feeding and tongue-tie for my baby. The wealth of knowledge and experience from our coach made feeding a success.

Karen was amazing!! She helped me so much with latch issues when I almost gave up on breastfeeding due to pain. I highly recommend reaching out if you are on the fence, it will be worth it.

Suzanne was a tremendous help to me and my daughter while breastfeeding. She helped identify potential issues (inefficient eater and low milk supply) and worked with me to create practical solutions. She wants to create personalized solutions that work with the mother so not drive mothers crazy (since breastfeeding is hard enough :) ). I would recommend anyone breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed to work with Suzanne!

I’m so glad we chose Bayou City Breastfeeding to take our son to. He had a hard time latching to the breast and would choke while drinking from a bottle. We booked with Suzanne and she discovered he had 4 ties in his mouth! He also needed some body work and recommended us to a chiropractor which was a great choice! He improved off that alone, but still needed his ties done. We had the ties done and Suzanne was very informative and supportive as she always was at every appointment. The procedure was quick but I’m thankful Suzanne was there for the support! I would recommend this business to any mother struggling with a baby who has issues feeding! Definitely let them check your baby out!!

Working with Suzanne at Bayou City Breastfeeding saved our breastfeeding journey. Suzanne helped to diagnose a tongue and lip tie in our infant daughter and outlined each of the steps needed to correct the ties. We have seen an improvement in latch, transfer of milk, time spent feeding and so much more.In addition to the ties, Suzanne helped me as mom to get my milk supply back after it dropped drastically due to a poor latch. Suzanne outlined the steps needed for feedings and pumping, suggested supplements and vitamins to ensure I was giving my body the best chance to produce milk and most importantly was a huge emotional support throughout the process.I cannot say enough positive things about my experience and would recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to any mom who is passionate about their breastfeeding journey.

Suzanne and everyone who works at Bayou City are literal angels on earth. Suzanne has especially saved my breastfeeding journey with my son who has a tounge-tie. Before finding Suzanne, I was so close to giving up as I was dealing with moderate under-supply too so I felt like I wouldn't be able to make it seeing how much I was able to pump in a day. I first saw Suzanne when my son was around 5 weeks and again when he was a little over 2 months. She was the one who suspected that my baby had a tounge-tie (hard to latch, painful latch etc) and suggested that frenotomy procedure could help. Suzanne and her team was with us every step of the way. I won't lie that the after-care was stressful but we went through it and guess what, my baby is almost 6 months now and our breastfeeding journey is going strong. It really feels like a miracle. She has given us tounge exercises to do at home (I still do it now at less frequency!), tips and tricks for bottle-feeding and even baby-led weaning (and I was dealing with mastitis too in between and they have tips and tricks that could help!)The only regret I have now is not seeing Suzanne sooner (and educating myself prior to delivery around breastfeeding because wow it is hard!) but I am so happy that the stars aligned and at the end, I made an effort to see Suzanne. I highly recommend seeing them as your priority if you are looking for a lactation consultant! Their expertise is worth of gold. Thank you thank you thank you!

Suzanne is an angel on earth. She isn’t just an IBCLC, she’s family.My little one and I came to her after a botched surgery with nothing but problems. I also suffer from some mood disorders. I’ll never forget Suzanne telling me I needed to take care of myself so I could take care of my little. I had gone off my medication because I didn’t want it to affect her. Turns out that decision was negatively affecting me.Then my little needed to have surgery again. Suzanne came with us and supported me the whole time. She checked on us multiple times. She made sure D was okay.Suzanne referred us to an amazing body worker who then helped all of Ds body issues.She’s even helped my mom with a ton of health issues.Just all around Suzanne is my hero. Our breastfeeding journey didn’t go at all like I had planned and it ended earlier than I wanted but Suzanne continues to be an amazing pillar of support. She showed me that it’s important to have a village. It’s important to have someone with so much knowledge cheering you on! And when it doesn’t go as planned, letting you know that you’re an amazing mom and it’s okay. 💗

I first sought out Bayou City Breastfeeding when I developed severe pain after weening my daughter off of shields. I had been told that she had a tongue tie and I actually made an appointment with a dentist to have it released, but a friend recommended that I call Bayou City Breastfeeding first. I hesitantly cancelled our appointment with the dentist and had my first appointment with Suzanne. She immediately knew what was causing the pain (to my surprise, it wasn’t even the tie!) and helped me find relief at our very first visit. Suzanne was so knowledgeable and informative. I knew right away that my husband and I made the right decision by seeing her first. She not only concerned herself with my baby’s weight gain and well-being, but also my own well-being.

She confirmed that my daughter did have a tongue tie and gave my husband and I an incredible amount of support, information, and preparation leading up to the procedure to have the tie released. 4 weeks later, she’s still supporting us and guiding us through the healing process. Knowing what I know now, I truly couldn’t imagine having gone through this without Suzanne (and Tessa and Ally ❤️).

It’s also worth mentioning that they work really hard to make sure they utilize any and all insurance benefits you might have. They have always thoughtfully and efficiently scheduled our appointments to coincide with bodywork, all to maximize our insurance benefits.

The team at Bayou City Breastfeeding is more than lactation consultants. Their expertise and love for what they do shows in every interaction I’ve had. I’m so thankful we found them and couldn’t possibly recommend them more highly!

Suzanne was incredible. So knowledgeable and understanding. She was able to help our little one and us through this challenging time of trying to breastfeed a baby with a tongue tie.

I knew Nicole was the right person for me from the minute I talk to her on the phone. She is attentive, compassionate and knowledgeable and profesional .

I learned a lot and look forward to working with her through this journey to get us in the right direction so my baby can thrive with mommies liquid gold.

Suzanne has been beyond helpful. I absolutely love her and look forward to every appointment. When my daughter was born I knew she had at least a tongue tie. I told our (now previous) pediatrician and she told me my daughter didn’t have any ties. I went to a pediatric dentist who also said no ties. When I went to see Suzanne, she said there were 3 ties that needed revisions. We’re still seeing Suzanne regularly for follow up appointments regarding the revisions and she’s been so amazing and patient. I absolutely recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to anyone!

If not for BCB, I would have had a very different breastfeeding outcome. Breastfeeding was painful, verging on unbearable, before discovering and reversing my daughter’s oral ties. Because of the ongoing care and attention from Suzanne and other providers at BCB, our breastfeeding journey is still going strong at 14 months. I know we would not be in the same place today if BCB had not taken my goals to heart and made such a Herculean effort to see us be successful. Forever grateful for Suzanne and her team!

Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn’t the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos and decided to reach out with my third baby and am so happy I did. Suzanne provided us so much helpful information and even after our appointment she was available to us to answer some questions and I greatly appreciate that. We have our second appointment with her this week. So happy I found Bayou City Breastfeeding!

I exclusively pump with my first baby and when Leo was born I decided I was going to reach out for help to make it work this time. Nicole has been amazing help during my breastfeeding journey this time around. She has been patient, and she has share her knowledge with me which has allow me to be confident. She has help me with latch and positioning and even discover a lip tie which we decided to not release but instead do body work. Nicole has been supportive in our decision and has provided me with tips and tricks to help my baby improve his latch. We have been EBF for 10 weeks now and all because of Nicole and BCB! I am so grateful I found Bayou City Breastfeeding 🤱!

Let me just say, that these ladies are all amazing! My regular consultant is out on leave, but the other consultants have worked together to accommodate me so they I can continue to get the lactation support I need. I've had the pleasure to work with about 5 of the consultants at the company, and each one brings something different yet equally great as the others. I love that they treat you like family.

Ali Flores & Suzanne were both extremely helpful. My 10 day old baby boy was not gaining weight like he should. Suzanne recognized this through a virtual appointment and recommended that we come in for an office visit. Ali met with us last minute, evaluated him/us and crafted a plan of action to help get him back on track to gain the needed weight prior to his next pediatrician weigh in. Ali was very thorough and informative. I left feeling equipped to feed sufficiently, armed with the knowledge of how to increase my milk supply going forward. Thank you both truly for your help and expertise.

Suzanne is like an angel on earth. She went above and beyond to help us. She was present for our sons frenotomy procedure, she gave us extensive information for prepping him before and after procedure, she connected us with 2 great doctors, and she has opened her office for us multiple times on days they are closed. You can tell that they truly care by the way the business is ran. I will be contacting them again next baby. Thank you, Suzanne and Erica

I cannot say enough great things about Suzanne. When our second child was 5 weeks old she began struggling when nursing and started to refuse the bottle. All other medical professionals we sought guidance from assured us that she was just being stubborn. Suzanne was the only medical professional that listened to our concerns and was able to steer us in the right direction for addressing a lip and tongue tight. She also assisted us in bottle training our daughter and helping her to overcome an oral aversion. She is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. She always goes above and beyond to help. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance when nursing OR bottlefeeding.

Emilee Nemmers

15:56 10 Nov 21

I had a terrible time starting out with my older child. My milk didn't come in, she had a tongue tie, and didn't end up latching until she was nine weeks old.Suzanne guided us through it all, and we could not have made it without her. She helped me determine when the baby was and wasn't getting enough milk, helped me figure out pumping, and helped me to get her to latch.At one point I thought I simply couldn't breastfeed. Suzanne helped me not only breastfeed, but sail passed my initial goal.To say I couldn't have done it without her would be an understatement.She is both knowledgeable and compassionate. I would send any new mother needing breastfeeding help to Suzanne.

Bayou City Breastfeeding is great. They started helping me over the phone right the way when I called to inquire and schedule the appointment and any time I have a random question I can text them and they reply on the same day. The insurance covers the visit, which is a plus. I chose the home visit and for that I just have to pay the trip charge. They were a life saver and I don’t know if I would have been successful at breastfeeding if it wasn’t for their help. Nicole is amazing and helped me not only with the techniques but also with the whole concept of breastfeeding, bonding and being emotionally well. I absolutely love them and recommend them to all of my friends!!!

BCBF is doing things right! I was able to get an appointment quickly and easily (via text message), I was reminded multiple times about my appointment (mom brain, right?!) and the icing on the cake was the consultant themself, Melissa. Melissa is kind and warm, equally great with mom and baby, very thorough and clearly knowledgeable. I was really hesitant to come to a lactation consultant because I did not find them to be very helpful in the hospital, but this is a totally different experience.

Suzanne was absolutely amazing. She spent 3 hours with us, asking questions and observing our sons behaviors and techniques. She explained every observation and recommendations in detail. She was patient, insightful and so knowledgeable around lactation. I wish we knew of Suzanne and her practice with our first child and earlier with our second. Surely if we have more kids, they will be going to see Suzanne from the start!

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 will be the best decision you will make for you and your baby!

After seeing Suzanne with Bayou city breastfeeding, I truly feel like having an experienced lactation consultant lined up before (or as soon as you can!) you give birth is possibly the most important decision you will make for you and your baby, probably AS important as choosing a pediatrician.

Suzanne managed my baby’s wounds after having tongue/lip tie surgery. She taught me how to do exercises so that his wounds would heal properly and we could avoid needing a revision. She taught me positions for feeding him that helped relieve back pain and tension in both me and my baby post csection and frenectomy. She referred my baby to cst and chiropractics because she noticed that he was holding tension in his body that was preventing him from achieving a good latch and feeding with ease. She showed me how to pump and manage supply effectively, prevent mastitis, and prevent reflux in my baby. After my baby healed post surgery she helped both of us achieve a latch without using a nipple shield. She also would weigh him before and after feeding to make sure he was getting enough milk.

During this time I was extremely stressed and exhausted post csection while taking care of a tired and cranky post surgery baby. Suzanne was SO incredibly kind and understanding and did not lend one hint of judgement when I showed up in mismatched T-shirt’s and sweat pants, barely awake, and not thinking straight.

***She supported me and my baby through the beginning of our breastfeeding experience and made it go from a anxiety filled experience with tears from both me and baby while feeding —> to a SPECIAL and enjoyable bonding time that I get to have with my baby. ***

These positive outcomes are just a FEW of all the things I learned from bayou city breastfeeding. If I did not have Suzanne with bayou city breastfeeding, I would have stopped breastfeeding after two weeks and my baby would not be receiving the nutrition he is now which is so incredibly important amid the pandemic.

I cannot express how much you need one of these experienced lactation consultants in your life!

Grace Beers

I highly recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding. Suzanne was fantastic and put a lot of my worries at ease. My breastfeeding journey started off well, but we struggled with a few minor latch issues. The biggest thing I learned was that a one size fits all approach is not the way to go about breastfeeding, and Suzanne gave me so many tools that helped for my own experience and situation. I didn’t know how much there was to know about breastfeeding until I met with Suzanne!

We had an excellent experience with Bayou City Breastfeeding. My baby developed a latch issue around the seven month mark. Mary really took the time to evaluate my daughter and eliminate any major issues as potential causes for her issue. She was extremely knowledgeable and had a lot of good information, not just on breastfeeding but the transition to solids as well. And my daughter loved her. Fortunately, we were able to correct the problem fairly easily, but I know they would have been there to support us if we would have needed to pursue a more in depth answer. I can’t recommend them enough!

She was very informative and helpful. I was well educated at my office visit. I am planning to keep going until I am done breast feeding...

I've been working with Karen for 5 months now. She has been truly exceptional. She has idea galore, tips and tricks I've never heard (this is my 3rd kiddo) and sage, wise advice. I'm not sure if we would still be breastfeeding without her. She is a gem. I would absolutely recommend Karen and Bayou City Breastfeeding. Without a doubt!!

Melissa has been WONDERFUL. She has been so responsive throughout this first week with our baby. She answered my daily text questions and helped us find the best way to help our baby grow. Our at home visit was AMAZING. She gave us a really thorough exam and a plan to help my supply and baby's latch. I feel so much calm and relief knowing I have Melissa in my corner!

Bayou City Breastfeeding, Mary in particular, have been incredible. I called during a time of desperation, with a week old baby and no clue how hard breastfeeding was going to be. Suzanne answered my call on a Friday, listened to me and gave me tips on the phone and set me up with an appointment with Mary the next day. Since then, our breastfeeding journey has made a 180. Mary not only is incredibly compassionate and kind, she is extremely knowledgeable. She made us feel comfortable, informed and empowered. She has become such an integral part of our breastfeeding journey, and I credit so much our success (and sanity) to her. She started as a lactation consultant, but now is a dear friend. They say it takes a village, and I am so glad that Bayou City Breastfeeding is part of ours.

Had a home visit during COVID...the LC that came was wearing a mask and was disinfecting everything which was a bonus! She corrected my baby’s latch in the first try and it was a game changer! I didn’t realize I wasn’t doing it right! She gave me some exercises to help with my baby’s minor tongue tie which I appreciated vs going straight to the operation route. We are 7 weeks now and things are great! Baby’s latch is strong and she is gaining weight. I was hating breast feeding before...now I’m loving it!

I would have not been successful at breastfeeding without Tiphany’s support and guidance. I cannot recommend working with her enough. She was such a calming presence during the most stressful time with a newborn. She helped with latching, oral restrictions, pumping, and boosting supply. Now feeding is so easy. There is no way we could have gotten here without her. I am forever grateful for her support.

I have had a wonderful experience! They have been so helpful in helping me with my daughter in ways more than just breastfeeding. I'm so glad I contacted Bayou City.

I had my visits scheduled with Britni, she was great. She is very knowledgeable and has tact in her interaction with both mom and baby.She helped me on my first week with my newborn, and then had a follow up visit. The communication through the app and all the information gathered in the visit are shared with you with lots of detail.Totally recommend this place for anyone needing some help with breastfeeding.

Most highly recommend Suzanne, she is very knowledgeable and kind. We were lucky too meet her during hard times when our 1 months old son lost a lot of weight due to breastfeeding issues, she got us back on track and thanks to her he is still breastfeeding at 20 months!

Suzanne is amazing. I always thought breastfeeding would be so natural and easy but that just wasn't the case for me. I struggled with my first two kiddos...

Received so much valuable information to help turn my breastfeeding journey into a success, after 3 months of pumping/bottle feeding!

I live in The Woodlands so I was disappointed that this was the closest "in network provider" that my insurance would pay 100% of the visit, and I didn't...

Joy L.

15:42 14 Apr 20

Suzanne was wonderful!!! Her amazing help allowed my daughter to breastfeed successfully, and after an initial scare of too much weight loss, she is now healthy, happy and gaining weight! Suzanne was attentive, caring, professional, and provided specific steps to improve the breastfeeding dynamic, including exercises for my daughter to allow her to increase her mouth's range of motion, as well as guidelines for pumping (increase supply for me), and using a nipple guard, as well as how to wean off of it later. 1.5 months later, after 3 consultations with her we are all doing great and breastfeeding without the nipple shield! We couldn't have done it without her!

Without the support, patience, and knowledge of Suzanne Juel, our breastfeeding journey would have been over within a month. Suzanne’s expertise and education of ties is beyond the normal IBCLC. Our post-revision struggles were more than I would have imagined, and she was there for us every step of the way to encourage and educate me on what was happening and how to work through it.

I made it 16.5 months nursing my baby girl, and I owe the majority of the credit to Suzanne. I couldn’t be more thankful for the support I received from her during the hardest times of my postpartum journey, and the support I continue to receive from her, even after the visits stopped. Thank you, Bayou City Breastfeeding, for allowing me to build the exceptional bond I have with my baby girl now, thanks to nursing.

Suzanne has been amazing, she allowed for me to still have a beautiful breastfeeding journey, where there otherwise wouldn’t have been one, and I’m so thankful. It’s the best gift I’ve ever been given! I’m constantly learning something new from her, and she’s been the most amazing resource. She’s so knowledgeable and amazing at what she does.I get excited for appointments! We thoroughly enjoy our time being with her and learning from her.

Katia Hopkins

17:02 22 Nov 20

I cannot recommend seeing Suzanne enough. After struggling with long nursing sessions for several weeks after our daughter was born, Suzanne was the only professional we saw that was able to tell us our daughter had tongue and several lip ties. Not only was Suzanne able to find the source of our struggles, she was also very efficient at helping us create a plan to help our daughter and I nurse more successfully. As a first time mom with limited experience, seeing a lactation consultant was a game-changer. If you haven't ever seen one, you need to - and Suzanne is the one to see.

Katherine Becvar

22:05 19 Aug 18

Suzanne went above and beyond the call of duty to help my daughter and I, and we are now on our way to recovery. She is very experienced and knows what she is doing. I will be forever grateful ❤️Thank you so much for helping us!

Lauren Silva

23:25 31 Jul 18

I had the pleasure of have a virtual lactation consultation with Suzanne. I was grateful that we were able to arrange a virtual consultation to avoid unnecessary visits during COVID 19. She was so helpful, nice and knowledgeable. She answered all of my questions and then some. It was like I was in the office not over the phone. She was able to help identify areas that I was struggling with breastfeeding as well as with bottle feeding. Thank you again Suzanne!

Jessica Kuchman

17:31 27 May 20

Time spent with Mary was time well spent. She helped ease my anxieties and gave good guidance to get my baby and I on the right track for breastfeeding success. Scheduling with her was always easy, the office staff was most helpful. I highly recommend!

Jacklyn Leon

01:29 05 Dec 21

Thank goodness for Ariel! She helped us become exclusively breastfed! The whole process is emotional but with Ariel’s support I was able to navigate getting my daughters tongue tie release. Thank you thank you!!

Annabel LaRocca

00:55 05 May 22

Ariel is amazing! She immediately recognized our daughter was tongue tied and helped us through the procedure and post-op. She is so kind, always listened, and thoughtfully answered our questions. Our breastfeeding journey would have ended much earlier than I wanted (clogged ducts, blebs, etc) if we hadn’t had her as such a wonderful resource. I feel much more confident about and comfortable with nursing and our path forward. I couldn’t have done it without Ariel! I cannot recommend her enough.

Caroline Luby

22:19 11 Jul 22

Excellent and thorough lactation consultant, Melissa! She fit me to my correct pump flange size, I had no idea I was using the wrong size. I also learned more about nursing, got great tips and tricks, and became a lot more educated!

Hannah Kiger

22:28 01 Dec 21

Suzanne is an amazing lactation consultant. She has helped guide me with both of my babies. She’s very knowledgeable about all things breastfeeding. She is kind and understanding. She helped build my confidence in my journey and ensured that I would get on track. Both of my babies were tongue and lip tied which hindered their ability to empty the breast. With my first it was undiagnosed for six months and I battled with nipple pain and supply issues as well as low weight gain for my baby. I found Suzanne and an ENT that revised the ties and helped get my daughter back where she needed to be. We continued nursing until she was 16 months. My second came and I knew a little more so I immediately knew she was also tied. Suzanne helped by confirming and advising me what steps to take to protect my supply until there was an opening to get her ties revised. It was a hard few weeks but my supply was good and my second was gaining weight. Suzanne always answered every question and encouraged me through the hard few weeks of nursing, pumping and syringe/bottle feeding. After the revision she really starting putting on the pounds and is doing fantastic. I’m so very thankful that Suzanne helped save both of my nursing journeys. I’ve seen other lactation consultants and she, by far is the most knowledgeable of them all. She is passionate and emphatic and willing to do whatever it takes to help a mother successfully breastfeed her baby.

Tiphany was unbelievably thorough, diligent and knowledgeable!! I keep raving to my husband and friends about what a game changer it was seeing her today for my first consultation. My daughter is completely taking my breast milk now and I learned so many new things within her first week of life about how to maintain my supply. I couldn’t believe how much there is to know and how much Tiffany is clearly passionate and committed to serving her clients!! I feel like my daughter’s life will be completely enhanced by what I learned today!!

Jenny Clearwood

06:13 30 Mar 21

We have made so much progress thanks to Karen! I started out with low supply and a tongue tied baby who was not gaining enough weight. It has been a multi month journey of LCs, PTs, ENTs and pediatric dentists. Karen’s help was instrumental in building and establishing my supply as well as improving latch and transfer. Do not wait to address feeding issues. The in home visits have been game changing - much more effective than the hour long appointments at the hospital or pediatrician’s office.In addition to being a wealth of information and support on breastfeeding, Karen also provided physical therapy exercises for us to do between sessions to help with breastfeeding.Karen is also a wealth of information about parenting having 3 kids of her own and is very sympathetic to the realities of being a busy mom. She is always patient and makes sure our questions are fully answered. Highly responsive through the bayou city breastfeeding messaging portal between sessions.

Kelly C

23:11 05 Apr 21

I am so thankful that I was referred to BCB from a pediatric dentist in the area. He recommended that I visit the Kingwood office for a combo visit which includes ~ body work (with a chiropractor) and also a session with the lactation consultant. My daughter who was scheduled to have her oral restriction (tongue tie) remediated demonstrated a painful latch, weight loss at 10%, etc. After several combo visits and some lactation only visits, we fell into a groove with nursing and at 3 months we have not had to follow through with the remediation surgery. I highly recommend BCB. All of their staff is phenomenal.

I had a great experience with my lactation consultant Erica. She helped me to deepen my baby’s latch and also gave me tips and exercises to do for his mouth. I would definitely recommend this company! They have an amazing grant program that helps make the services more affordable to reach more families in need. They are also available anytime if you have any questions. If there are any moms out there in need of breastfeeding assistance, I’d definitely make an appointment!

Nique D.

17:26 24 May 21

Suzanne is so sweet! I can tell she truly cares about the moms and babies. I tend to guilt myself because of personal short coming and things we as a family cannot do. But she is going above and beyond to help us.

Kira Hicks

02:36 02 Jun 21

I was extremely happy with the experience I had with Ali with Bayou City Breastfeeding! She came to my home in Montgomery, TX to evaluate my 2 week old baby and me. I was having difficulties with breastfeeding, and Ali was able to identify my baby’s issue almost immediately. She helped us come up with a plan to help with the issue, helped me navigate my breast pump, and gave us tips to make our feeding experience as good as possible. Ali was so sweet and made us feel very comfortable- not to mention, very knowledgeable! The communication from start to finish with all the staff was also great! Highly recommend!

Andrea Bailey

15:52 26 Aug 20

There are not enough words to say how thankful I am to have found Tiphany. Started seeing her due to the amount of pain I was having breastfeeding, and not only continued to work with her through everything, but was introduced to other resources like the ENT who revised a severe tongue and lip tie and a Chiropractor to do bodywork for our little one!I feel like each and every one of these providers played such an important role in where we are today with our breastfeeding journey, but I could give Tiphany the biggest hug of all for the support and empathy she gave during each of our sessions.I never anticipated quite how hard and frustrating breastfeeding could be. I know my son and I have a while to go on this journey and I know there will be more ups and downs, but currently we are one week exclusively breastfeeding without pain and without tears. I would recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding and Tiphany over and over again.

Emily Brinsko Centeno

I was in desperate need of help, I had developed two breast abscesses after following the instruction of another consultant , when I called them to schedule I was in tears,and they graciously saw me the next day- on a Sunday!

Ms. Jules saved my breastfeeding journey! I had no idea how outdated the information on the internet was. She helped me understand what was going on with my body and how to best feed my baby with feeding difficulties. I am proud to say with her help We are still going strong exclusively breastfeeding!

Monica Med

20:40 18 May 22

Karen helped me soo much, encourage me. I feel so comfortable around her. There was so much information I learned. Recommend to anyone who is breastfeeding or wanting to breastfeed!

I definitely recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to all new mommas!! They do not only help with breastfeeding but also PUMPING MOMMAS… and milk supply! Great experience and they are very generous <3

17:39 17 Feb 22

I am so grateful for Karen! She has helped us so much in our breastfeeding journey. From latch issues to low supply, she was able to help us overcome each obstacle and continue working toward our goals. We have learned so much from her and would recommend her to any new mommas looking for breastfeeding & pumping help.

Chelsea Hughes

17:51 30 Jul 20

Nicole was amazing! I learned so much and am excited to implement everything she taught me. I love that she had me practice a lot in the session and gave feedback so I was sure I could do everything she explained and modeled. She was very informative, patient, encouraging, and friendly. I will whole heartedly recommend her to anyone I know that needs a lactation consultant.

Suzanne is incredible. I don’t live in the Houston area anymore but I still do virtual consultations because they are THAT good. Highly recommend.

Erica Fusacchia

14:10 15 Aug 20

I had my 2nd visit today wit Suzanne and was really looking forward to appointment. I felt like my baby has improved with the exercises she recommended me last week. I am extremely happy I came across this company and I am very hopeful we are going to get better at breastfeeding following her instructions.

Bayou city (Mary and Amy) have been such a blessing to me while breastfeeding my third. This time around I was met with clogs and mastitis multiple times. Be able to meet with Mary and have her help and support was a huge help to my mental well being. Being able to send a message when I had a concern and knowing a response would be received in a timely manner helped ease my mind. From checking my pump settings, helping me reduce clogs and ultimately supporting me in making my plan to wean, they have provided me with the support I’ve needed every step of the way! Thank you Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation Consultants!

Guinn B Shropshire

12:34 29 Sep 21

Melissa was such a great support through our breastfeeding journey. What started off difficult became so smooth thanks to her guidance and help. She really went over and above to help us out and I’m so thankful for her support and patience as we worked through options I was comfortable with! She visited us at home which made things really seamless and comfortable with a newborn.

I am SO thankful we found Bayou City Breastfeeding. Coming home from the hospital with my little one, I knew we'd need some assistance. I reached out to BCB and they not only offered to help, but a home visit was available (which made this new Momma feel so much better). Ms. Karen has been SO GREAT, she has made me feel comfortable with the process and confident in myself. She has been full of knowledge and I can't imagine this time without that guidance. I will always recommend seeking a professional to my friends. Specifically BCB and Ms. Karen. What your Lactation Consultants do is SO important !!! Thank You !!!

Amber Brown

16:09 24 May 21

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! 💗

Lauren Dikeman

00:04 02 Oct 20

I have worked with Suzanne after both of my pregnancies with my boys and could not have made it without her! After seeing six different lactation consultants with no successful resolutions to my myriad of breastfeeding issues, Suzanne was a true blessing in every way once I was under her care! She helped identify that both my boys had lip and tongue ties in which we corrected. The corrections helped resolve some issues but it was with Suzanne's compassion, expertise, and never ending support that I was able to successfully nurse my first boy to 14 months and am currently 5 months in with my second baby. I have/had extreme oversupply issues, clogged ducts, thrush, mastitis and every imaginable obstacle occur in my nursing journey. In addition to that, my oldest son had feeding difficulties and would not latch or take a bottle. Suzanne outlined a plan of care for me and my boys, took the time to listen to my concerns, and answered all questions along the way. Within that plan, I worked with a couple speech pathologists and chiropractic to help address my son’s issues. We worked for months together through it all and it wasn't until month 9 that we were able to successfully get him on a bottle! I owe all that I've learned and my nursing journey to her help and support. I highly recommend Suzanne to any mothers in need of help with breastfeeding. She has worked with numerous of my friends and family members, all of which have been successful in nursing their babies to one year and beyond! She’s the best!!

Amanda Blando Nguyen

03:07 09 Mar 18

Erica was so calm, encouraging and overall, a soothing presence during today’s consultation! She answered all of our questions, shared resources, and provided meaningful feedback! We can’t wait to continue working with her!

00:43 08 Feb 21

BCB and Karen gave me the information, tools, and confidence I needed to feed and support my tongue tied baby boy. Kind and professional and with you every step of the way!

Dolores Noel

I had the best experience with Katelyn at Bayou City Breastfeeding. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and I left feeling so much more hopeful than when I came in. She equipped me with next steps, a needed referral, and an at-home care plan. I’d absolutely recommend her and the organization.

Kelsey Trojacek

Suzanne has played a key role in the success of my breastfeeding journey. We have seen her for about 6 months now. The 1st time we saw her my baby was lethargic and not eating, she was 3 days old. I had sent a message to Bayou City Breastfeeding and received a response within hours. After speaking with Suzanne on the phone she gave suggestions that immediately helped my baby until we could be seen by her. Suzanne came to our house on Easter Sunday to help get my baby eating. Within a day my baby had gained .5 oz at her 1st pediatrician appointment. Suzanne recommended at that point for us to have the babies tongue clipped for major oral restrictions. At the time my husband and I weren’t ready to put our newborn through that. She gave us oral exercises to do with our baby in the meantime.Fast forward to 3 months my baby refused to latch once again. I scheduled an appointment to see Suzanne at the Kingwood clinic. We learned that my baby had figured out how to accommodate for her oral restrictions, but had had a recent growth spurt and the accommodations and exercises were no longer working. She explained in detail some of the things (I thought were normal) my daughter was experiencing were in fact not so normal and were actually causing pain and discomfort. At that point we revisited the frenotomy and scheduled it with Dr.Liu, a pediatric ENT Bayou City recommends. Suzanne explained the procedure and gave us the recovery booklet to begin to start working on exercises with our baby and prepare her for the procedure.After the procedure we saw Suzanne multiple times for all of our baby’s post procedure appointments and she helped with the recovery. She got our breastfeeding journey back on track. My baby has gone from refusal to latch to nursing full time on the weekends with no issues.The wealth of knowledge that Suzanne provides is so unbelievably helpful and priceless for a first time mom who is beginning to navigate motherhood. She has been constant support and cheerleader to keep going even though it’s tough! I can’t say enough how much help Bayou City Breastfeeding has been!

Katie Farmakakis

13:35 22 Sep 20

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.

Katie Nezat

16:30 13 Sep 20

I, perhaps Naively, didn’t plan to have problems with breastfeeding and so didn’t have any apts set up with a lactation consultant when we got back from the hospital. When I contact BCB, there were not a lot of apts available, but when they heard my story they shifted things and tried to get me in ASAP. I am so grateful for that sense of urgency they had for my breastfeeding journey. Mary is so kind and caring and has approached my low-supply challenge with a lot of data and science that will help. She is also very attuned to stress and keeping a plan flexible and manageable for mom. We’ve really enjoyed working with her. She is very responsive and easily accessible by text, helping me with on-the-fly questions. In addition, when you work with Bayou City Breastfeeding, you’re actually getting access to multiple lactation experts as they all consult with each other for different solutions for their clients. This gives you a whole pool of knowledge and experience to work in your favor for results.

Aislyn Barclay

08:04 25 Jun 21

Suzanne at Bayou City Breastfeeding was such a huge help! My daughter and I struggled with breastfeeding, and I didn't know the first thing about pumping! Suzanne found out that my daughter had slight lip and tongue ties and showed us a few positions (one that I had never even heard of!) that actually worked for us! She gave us exercises to help my daughter with her latching (not to mention introducing me to baby squats- a great way to calm down my fussy daughter!). She also helped me realize that number of pumps a day (and NOT the duration...boy was she surprised when I confessed I regularly pumped for an hour!) was the most important thing for establishing a supply. I struggled with an under supply and had to supplement with formula for the first 2 months. Suzanne never once made me feel bad about supplementing with formula, or deciding that pumping worked better for us than strictly breastfeeding. Now I am proud to say I have a freezer stash that could last my daughter 3 weeks! Thank you so much Suzanne- we truly would not be where we are today without your guidance!

Amanda Vera

20:43 15 Aug 19

Suzanne and Bayou City Breastfeeding have been an incredible resource and support to my family as we navigate feeding our newborn. I thought my visit with the lactation specialists at the hospital after my delivery would be sufficient, but the time Suzanne invested in my initial consultation and follow-ups allowed for more in-depth assessment and advising.Her expertise and diligence leaves me feeling fully informed with a plan of action after each visit. I appreciate her approach to address the root cause of feeding issues and form a long term plan, not only quick fixes. Highly recommend, and only wish I would have reached out sooner!

Cara Hoang

08:29 01 Dec 20

Incredible. I am a first time mom and I probably would not have made it this far without my lactation consultant, Ali. I don’t know if all women struggle the way I have, but even if there isn’t a physical issue the emotional and mental support she provided was worth it. If you don’t have insurance try to save enough to pay for a consultation or ask family/friend for financial support to pay for it. It is rather affordable. If those aren’t options reach out to me and I will help you. That’s how beneficial and helpful this company is. You can do this! But sometimes a little help makes It easier. They definitely make it easier!

Abigail Rowe

06:52 20 Oct 20

Tessa came for a home visit and was extremely knowledgeable. She was able to assess the amount of milk taken during the nursing session, provide some guidance and help on latching and give some personal feedbacks on milk supply and pump settings. I really enjoyed the first session and I am already planning to do another one to see the progress.

Yasmine Halloum

22:19 03 Oct 20

Tiphany was amazing. She listened to my concerns, and was certain to address each one, including my skepticism about using bodywork to help address tongue and lips tie issues. Her instructions really helped the pain issues I was having and I believe following her advice about the ties also made a difference. I can't recommend her enough. I also think it's really great how they take insurance! We met at her office for one visit and she came to my home for another, demonstrating flexibility to meet a mother's needs.

Abby Johnson

14:31 13 Feb 21

Very knowledgeable team and I went home with ways to help my breastfeeding on the first visit.

Brandy Gueary

16:09 28 Jul 20

Suzanne has been a lifesaver - taking the time to listen to my frustrations, advocating for my health & well-being to my physicians when she noticed problems, guiding us through all our hurdles, and supporting/educating me no matter what my decisions through my breastfeeding journey. Without her, I don’t know where we’d be. My only wish is we would’ve started working with her sooner - thanks for all you’ve done!

Meghan Pieper

19:16 17 Dec 20

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!!!

Jannell Meyers

21:47 20 Sep 20

Highly highly recommend this group for anyone needing help with breastfeeding. When I called to make an appointment, I was abt two days from throwing in the towel on breastfeeding. Being a first time mom, I was told by all of the other LCs that my latch looked good and I was fine even though I was in a lot of pain prior to calling bayou city. Britni was able to come in and quickly show me how to adjust things to be more comfortable for me and for baby. After helping me with latching, it was like night and day difference. I was more confident and comfortable, and the difference was instant. Not only did she help me with breastfeeding, but she also helped with my pump flange sizing, and showed my husband additional tips for bottle feeding, nothing felt rushed or dismissive, and I truly appreciated she was working around what worked for our life style, whether that was bf, bottles or both. I cannot recommend them and their team enough! My only regret was I didn’t have them come out prenatal as well!

After the birth of my first child in 2018 I naively thought that my child and I would know how to breastfeed and it would come naturally. Well the first month of his life he struggled to gain weight. So I looked for a lactation consultant covered by Aetna and found Bayou City Breastfeeding. I was consulted by Tessa Gardin. Looking back I wish I would have found Tessa sooner because she provided so much useful information. She is the reason I took my son to a chiropractor for cranio sacral adjustments and he was able to latch better. She is also the reason my milk output doubled and I was able to breastfeed until 11 months. After my second child was born on July 2020 I knew that I needed appointments with an LC right away. My daughter struggled with latch on my left breast, was biting my nipples and preferred to turn her head to her left side. So I saw Suzanne Juel 3 days after the birth. Suzanne is equally as helpful as Tessa and provided a lot of educational resources and diagrams that illustrated breastfeeding, milk production, and foods that increase milk supply. Suzanne showed me some alternate feeding positions that I use now since they are more comfortable. Suzanne recommended that my daughter get chiropractic adjustments. I took my daughter to a chiropractor and the adjustments improved her alignment significantly. Now my daughter does not have any latch issues, she is able to remove all the milk out on her own and she is no longer biting. She has exceeded the required weight gain for her age.

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....

We had a wonderful experience with the office and in our home with Tiphany. The office was very responsive with the insurance and coordinating an appt. Tiphany was knowledgeable and helpful. I appreciated that she listened to my goals and was ready to form a plan with me to reach them as well as suggestions/alternatives to consider. Her advice was evidence based and thorough.

I had a great experience with them. When my daughter was born with a tongue tie, I had no clue what the treatment and rehab would entail. I feel very fortunate that both our midwife and our pediatrician recommended Bayou City Breastfeeding. It's obvious that Suzanne and everyone on her staff are passionate about helping babies. Even though they weren't on our insurance, they worked with us to make her care affordable. Everyone who helped us was kind and knowledgeable. They prepared us for our daughter's frenotomy, came with us to the procedure, and supported us through the whole aftercare process. I don't know what I would have done without them. From the physical care of our daughter's mouth, to the breastfeeding support, to the emotional support as we went through this difficult process, they were outstanding. Fingers crossed our next baby doesn't have a tongue tie, but if they do we'll definitely go back to Suzanne and her team!

Suzanne here at Bayou City Breastfeeding has been such a great help to me and my babe! I’m only 3 months into breastfeeding and without her knowledge and help I wouldn’t have made it this far on my own. Everyone I’ve spoken to at there is super nice as well; very sweet staff.

Brandy is AMAZING! I wasn’t quite sure what else I could learn after meeting with three different lactation consultants in the hospital after delivery, but Brandy was definitely a breath of fresh air. I regained my confidence with feedings/nursing after Brandy patiently helped me and baby with new techniques and methods! She’s patient, super personable and is very passionate which shines through during our visits. We are very very appreciative and grateful for getting her as our IBCLC!

Was easy to schedule with Bayou City Breastfeeding after calling them and they quickly confirmed insurance coverage. I met with Anne for a few visits. Some of her advice/tips were great and others good but not realistic for me or the way I'd want to nurse. But that's ok, I took the advice I felt to work for me. She was so nice to return my calls and be a support a few times when I had a difficult time at home with the nursing. Facility is nice and they have a good weight machine for the newborn.

Thank you to Bayou City & especially Karen in the new Conroe office! We had been unsuccessful at latching for 6+ weeks and I was exclusively pumping. Not only did I get fitted properly for the correct flange size & helping with clogs... but we also practiced finishing at the breast a couple times a day. After 3 visits I can with great gratitude say.. I now pump with no discomfort and we are breastfeeding for an entire feeding up to 5x a day now working towards more!!! Thank you for all the tips, advice and encouragement without judgement!Also scheduling with their online app and text communication makes it so much easier!!!

Working with Suzanne at Bayou City Breastfeeding saved our breastfeeding journey. Suzanne helped to diagnose a tongue and lip tie in our infant daughter and outlined each of the steps needed to correct the ties. We have seen an improvement in latch, transfer of milk, time spent feeding and so much more.
In addition to the ties, Suzanne helped me as mom to get my milk supply back after it dropped drastically due to a poor latch. Suzanne outlined the steps needed for feedings and pumping, suggested supplements and vitamins to ensure I was giving my body the best chance to produce milk and most importantly was a huge emotional support throughout the process.
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience and would recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding to any mom who is passionate about their breastfeeding journey.

Tessa Gardin is an amazing LC that helped me through every bump in the road on my 2.5 year breastfeeding journey. I do not hesitate when I say she is knowledgeable in every aspect that has to do with a child's development and how it effects the process of successfully nursing a baby. She was fast to detect my sons Tounge and Lip ties and give a plan of action to correct the wrongs, and helped make sure my son received nothing but the best food for him, his's momma's milk! Tessa is a very personal and will make you feel at ease and positive that you and your baby will be able to achieve any goal you have set!

First, Bayou City is great! I reached out via text on a Sunday and they responded and got me set up with an appointment the next day. Karen has been our saving grace. She has taken my very complicated case and gone above and beyond to help me find answers. If she didn’t know something she went to great lengths to find someone who did. Without her I wouldn’t be as far as I am now. This is my first birth, and she genuinely has helped me with being the best mama to my baby I can be. I think seeing someone like Karen should be a recommendation for any mom-not just those who need assistance in lactating.

I feel so fortunate to have been referred to Suzanne by a friend. I was hesitant in reaching out initially since we are formula/bottle feeding, but, I am so glad I did!Suzanne is very professional and personable, and ensures you and your baby are comfortable throughout the session. She was not only non-judgemental regarding formula feeding but very supportive. She is so knowledgeable about absolutely everything that goes into infants feeding from the mechanics and physiology to the psychological aspects. She keeps YOUR goals in mind and not only instructs on techniques but actually allows you to practice with guidance. We even went over my scheduled session time because she wanted to be sure to answer all of my questions and that I felt confident in the exercises we had worked on.After literally one day of using some new techniques and exercises learned in my first session, my baby is significantly more comfortable and we’re both more relaxed while feeding.I saw Suzanne to assess my baby’s colicky symptoms but left with a wealth of priceless knowledge and empowerment. I would absolutely recommend Suzanne for not only mothers who are breastfeeding but for any mother who has questions or concerns about their baby’s feeding.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Suzanne at Bayou City Breastfeeding. As a mother who successfully breastfed her first child 18 months, I thought I knew everything I needed to for my second......boy was I wrong! We were blessed to find Suzanne who was prompt, courteous and caring. She figured out some tough problems and pointed me in the direction of professionals that could help us out with a more natural approach to tongue tie issues and even a dietician to help with a restricted diet. She was always available to help and went above and beyond to ensure baby and I were both thriving. You really can’t go wrong with Suzanne!

I will try and keep this short because I could write a book on all the help that I received from Suzanne and her team during my breastfeeding challenges.In short after 3 days of life my son due to his tongue and lip ties had destroyed my confidence and physical ability to breastfeed. But thank God we were able to meet with Suzanne on day 4 and after months of work I can happily report that my son is now exclusively breastfeeding.We had to overcome two procedures on his tongue, mastitis, switching from bottle to breast, triple feeding, exclusively pumping for a time, silent reflux and more. On top of some personal and emotional issues as my husband of 6 years left me when I was six months pregnant with our son leaving me as a single mom.Suzanne held my hand through every challenge. She was patience with me when I felt like giving up, strong for me when I thought I had nothing left. It was so important to me to be able to breastfeed my child and she understood that when others did not. Without her I would have given up that first week most likely.There are not enough words of praise that I can give for this woman and her team. If you are struggling to breastfeed this is where you need to turn for your best chance at success. She had been a miracle worker for me and my son and I will always be grateful to her.

Suzanne at BCBF saved my breastfeeding journey! My daughter was able to somewhat latch in the hospital, but was never quite getting enough. At her my first pediatrician visit after leaving the hospital we were still waiting for my milk to come in and formula feeding in the meantime. The next day, we met with Suzanne and left with a plan. Within a month we’re breastfeeding! Not exclusively, but working towards it!!!! Thanks Suzanne and everyone at Bayou City Breastfeeding!

Tiffany Otto

We love Ms. Tiphany. She is very caring, knowledgeable and helpful about not only for lactation but also torticollis and tongue and lip ties. After our infant got the tongue and lip tie laser remove from our ENT dr, we got a referral to here. It was very hard to make an quick appointment with them unless you book it 2-3 weeks in advance. Luckily, Ms. Tiphany was working at the time at the chioptactor clinic where my son went for his torticollis adjustments; she was able to let the Booker know to get me in. Iam thankful that we went to her. All of her tips and advises are extremely helpful for us for the long run of raising and taking care of my child. I definitely recommend her to my friends and family or whoever struggling with babies who refuse latching or having bottle feeding troubles!

Suzanne is wonderful. I had a lot of trauma related to becoming a mother, a lot of trauma from having to be induced and my son having to spend time in nicu, and a lot of fear of failure as a mom. she empowered me to make decisions, to build a healthy nursing relationship with my son, and continue breastfeeding beyond my minimum goal of a year. I don't think I could have done it without her-no judgment-meet you where you are- attitude and encouragement. My son overcame his tongue tie and gain issues and is a strong, healthy, taller than average, 2 year old.

Totally worth it! As a new mom, I was stressed out with breastfeeding. After leaving the hospital, I realized I needed a ton of support as breastfeeding is physically and emotionally draining.

Brandy Lightfoot is one of the most fabulous healthcare professionals I have ever met. She is patient, kind, extremely passionate, and knowledgeable in all things feeding related. I am extremely grateful to have her experience and expertise as I navigate being a first time mom and grow in my breastfeeding journey. I can’t recommend her and Bayou City Breastfeeding enough if you are struggling with feeding (breast or not) difficulties. They are organized from the top down and invested in patient success and comfort. My daughter has been struggling with breastfeeding in many ways. Brandy identified and recommended an assessment with an ENT to where my daughter had lip, tongue, and cheek ties at 9 weeks old. She has been encouraging us every step of the way and provided assistance with her oral exercise program, homeopathic pain remedy, and being present at the procedure. Thank you Bayou City Breastfeeding for your organization and thorough processes in place. Thank you Brandy for sharing you gift and love for helping mommas succeed and feel they are enough for their babies.

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Suzanne. I came to her on referral from my baby's chiropractor and it has been the best thing we have ever done. My 5 month old has been struggling to gain weight and suffering from silent reflux. Suzanne also identified lio, tongue, and cheek ties as well as a high palate contributing to the feeding issues. From day one she dug in determining to help us. We have massage exercises to work on the ties gently, we identified some different nursing positions to help reduce colic and facilitate a deeper latch, and started some natural healing for the reflux. She has been so helpful in ensuring our breastfeeding journey continues, It hasn't been without setbacks since my baby has such deep issues but she has been with us every step of the way creating a plan to make sure we are supported in every way possible. Olivia is continuing to improve daily and for that I am super grateful. Honestly, I was skeptical because the hospital lactation consultants were no help and very dismissive. Not so here! I am amazed how supported I feel and hope has returned that we will be able to successfully continue breastfeeding. Mama, if you're struggling, put away the guilt and come get help! You will be so glad you did.

I am so grateful for Nicole and all of her guidance, validation and direction! She is such an asset to the LC community with her knowledge & expertise! Breastfeeding is such an emotional journey and I’m glad to have found Bayou City Breastfeeding to have put me on the right track! Having 1-on-1 guidance outside of the hospital was extremely important to me for numerous reasons. The appointments are 100% worth the time, energy, and effort to get any momma dedicated to her feeding journey!

I contacted Bayou City Breastfeeding out of desperation after suffering weeks of painful breastfeeding with my second child. With my first baby (breastfed for 14 months) I had no issues breastfeeding so I thought it would be the same the second time around. Nope! From the second day after my son was born I was having serious issues with nursing and I was not enjoying breastfeeding at all. The nurses in the hospital kept telling me I was a new mom and things would get better. Because of this I waited before getting help with a lactation consultant. During this time my son had reflux, gas, milk was spilling out the sides of his mouth with every feeding, and I was using a nipple shield at every feeding because of pain. Also, the nursing sessions took FOREVER (45+ minutes). A friend suggested I see Tessa, an IBCLC at Bayou City Breastfeeding, because of all the issues. Tessa came to my house and diagnosed my son with a tongue tie almost instantly. I remember tearing up after she left because I finally had answers. None of the other nurses or lactation consultants in the hospital even mentioned it could potentially be a tongue tie even after all the pain I was in. Tessa took her time with me and was very patient with all the questions I had (and I had a lot). Her exam of the baby was very thorough and she explained everything in a way I could understand. She gave me recommendations on who to see for my son’s tongue tie and gave me exercises to do with him to help with breastfeeding. Honestly if it wasn’t for Tessa there is no way I would have continued breastfeeding. I was literally on the verge of quitting. With her help I was able to continue breastfeeding for 15 months and my baby boy is thriving.

Bayou city breastfeeding will be the best decision you will make for you and your baby!After seeing Suzanne with Bayou city breastfeeding, I truly feel like having an experienced lactation consultant lined up before (or as soon as you can!) you give birth is possibly the most important decision you will make for you and your baby, probably AS important as choosing a pediatrician.Suzanne managed my baby’s wounds after having tongue/lip tie surgery. She taught me how to do exercises so that his wounds would heal properly and we could avoid needing a revision. She taught me positions for feeding him that helped relieve back pain and tension in both me and my baby post csection and frenectomy. She referred my baby to cst and chiropractics because she noticed that he was holding tension in his body that was preventing him from achieving a good latch and feeding with ease. She showed me how to pump and manage supply effectively, prevent mastitis, and prevent reflux in my baby. After my baby healed post surgery she helped both of us achieve a latch without using a nipple shield. She also would weigh him before and after feeding to make sure he was getting enough milk.During this time I was extremely stressed and exhausted post csection while taking care of a tired and cranky post surgery baby. Suzanne was SO incredibly kind and understanding and did not lend one hint of judgement when I showed up in mismatched T-shirt’s and sweat pants, barely awake, and not thinking straight.***She supported me and my baby through the beginning of our breastfeeding experience and made it go from a anxiety filled experience with tears from both me and baby while feeding —> to a SPECIAL and enjoyable bonding time that I get to have with my baby. ***These positive outcomes are just a FEW of all the things I learned from bayou city breastfeeding. If I did not have Suzanne with bayou city breastfeeding, I would have stopped breastfeeding after two weeks and my baby would not be receiving the nutrition he is now which is so incredibly important amid the pandemic.I cannot express how much you need one of these experienced lactation consultants in your life!

My LC was Susanne Jules and she was amazing. It was my first time breastfeeding and it was so difficult!! She reassured me that I was doing fine and gave me very helpful tips. She was very knowledgeable and kind. If I had questions, she was easy to reach. If it wasn’t for her, I’m not sure my experience with breastfeeding would have been pleasant. I definitely recommend her if you’re frustrated and freaked out like I was! I am definitely very grateful that another LC recommended her while I was desperately searching for one. Thank you!!

Mary was amazing and helped me through a very difficult and emotional time for my family. We had medical issues in my family right after my son was born. I so wanted to breastfeed and Mary was so supportive, helpful, and available for anything I needed. I couldn’t recommend them any more!!

Sarah Davis

21:35 01 Jan 22

Suzanne Juel is a knowledgeable, kind, and enthusiastic IBCLC. I met her at Dr. Liu's office in March of 2016. She has a heart for mothers, especially those wanting desperately to breastfeed, and uses her own valuable personal experience and extensive education to comfort, educate, and help new families. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

People like Suzanne are true angels on Earth . I nursed my first child for 20 months no issue .. no issues with the bottle or anything . So when all of a sudden I had trouble with second child not taking a bottle I had no idea what to do and no idea how I would go back to work without my mother or anyone else being able to feed her .My mom tired ... my husband tried ... we tried different bottles and and we just couldn't get her to take it for weeks.Well Suzanne got right to the core of the issue and showed us exactly how to feed her and what exercise we could do to help ! She was an absolute wealth of knowledge . Very patient and very kind .Suzanne I can't thank you enough :-) !

Totally worth it in every way. As a first time mom, I was let go from the hospital with confusing information on how to successfully breast feed. I was emotionally drained and physically exhausted. I highly recommend this company if you feel defeated and don’t know where to turn. They immediately got back to me after leaving a distressed voice mail and quickly scheduled me for a consultation the same week. Would 10/10 recommend.

TLDR: Without the support of Melissa at BCB, I would’ve given up on my goal to breastfeed. That’s invaluable to me and something I can never repay! But even the bottle feeding support was incredibly helpful. I think every new parent, whether breastfeeding or not, needs BCB!⭐️Full review:I was struggling so hard — both physically and mentally — before reaching out to BCB. I took a breastfeeding class during pregnancy and thought that was enough. I nursed okay in the hospital, but then I got home, my baby got hungrier, and my supply wasn’t keeping up. I was mixing formula left and right and feeling hopeless as my plan to breastfeed was quickly dying.I delayed reaching out to BCB because I’ve never been good at asking for help. My first lesson as a new mom was to let go of that fear. We all need help! I’m so glad I did.In my first appointment, Melissa helped me so much. I felt so supported and was able to let go of all my guilt and shame. Most importantly, she identified tongue and lip ties in my baby, which were affecting his ability to transfer milk and therefore hurting my supply. I felt so relieved to know that there was nothing wrong with me and that this was treatable. We made a plan to boost my supply and discuss having his ties released.Before meeting with BCB, I would pump maybe 0.5 oz on each side. Now, I am pumping 3+ oz each side each session. Plus, my baby had surgery to release his ties, and he’s starting to nurse really well. I’m simply amazed at our improvement in such a short time! It’s all thanks to the individualized plan that Melissa made for me and my baby. Our regular meetings help keep me accountable to my plan too.I cannot stress enough how invaluable the customized care plan has been for me. Don’t waste time like I did scrolling through free online resources thinking you can fix things yourself. It’s okay to ask for help! Every BF parent and their baby is different and unique in their challenges and needs, which is why that customized plan is so important. And do yourself a favor by getting help from a professional versus trying to get answers from Google! 😅Lastly, I want to add that from the beginning I’ve felt supported by BCB 100% — including if you decide to formula feed! Whatever you choose is supported, free of judgement. My first meeting was nearly an hour and a half, and we talked a lot about best practices for bottle feeding, which bottles to use, and more. I think many parents don’t think they need help with bottle feeding, but there’s more to it than you think! My husband was there too and it was incredibly helpful for him as well.

Not only is she effective, i feel more confident as a parent thanks to her. Also her whole booking process and operation is so streamlined and technically efficient. Really great and helpful for a new mom with limited time.

She spent a lot of time with us doing evaluation and addressing all our issues! I feel much more comfortable with breastfeeding and got a lot of tips for pumping and much more! Anyone struggling with breastfeeding should book a session with her! The only regret I have is waiting 2 weeks before I reached out for help!

I had no real trouble breastfeeding my first child, so when my second hit 4 weeks old and I was still in pain while nursing, and he needed to feed around the clock, I knew something was wrong. I looked for a lactation consultant who took my insurance (Aetna) and found Bayou City Breastfeeding. Kingwood was a bit of a drive, but my visit with Karen was well worth it! She was so easy to talk to and she helped me help my son to latch better, and showed me some exercises I can do for him to loosen his muscles. She also looked him over and was able to recommend a great ENT for me to take him to for a possible tongue and lip tie which I have now had revised. My son is feeding so much better now! I’m no longer in pain, and can see that he’s having an easier time getting what he needs out of each feed. If you feel at all like something isn’t right with your breastfeeding experience, definitely make an appointment with Bayou City. You’ll be in a comfortable setting where all your questions can be answered and your mind can be put at ease.

I highly recommend this service. My last baby I used Texas children and I did not even come close to learning half of the things that I have learned with this company. Not only has my specialist helped me with breastfeeding but also gave me lots of knowledge on my babies feeding from bottle, and how to help him progress with milestones like tummy time and oral motor strengthening. I have loved my experience here and would recommend it to all mothers no matter if breast feeding or just bottle feeding. Kyna is my specialist that I would highly recommending seeing.

We had our first visit with Tessa today and it was an amazing experience, she truly is wonderful at what she does. She is knowledgeable, professional, personable and easy to communicate with. I started with some of the exercises that she recommended and by our evening feed my daughter latched on both sides! We still have a lot of homework to do but this was major progress for us!-Caitlin Milam

I am a first time mom with no family in town and working with Nicole to help my 3.5 week early baby breastfeed was nothing short of a miracle in my eyes. In the hospital the consultants seemed to blame my sons lack of ability to breastfeed on his prematurity and their tactics didn’t help my situation so I went outside the hospital resources and found Bayou City Breastfeeding. Scheduling was super easy. I learned new techniques and Nicole was very patient and understanding of all my questions. We ending up needing a tongue and lip tie procedure, but after 2 months we were exclusively breastfeeding which was my choice. I can say without Nicole’s help I would have given up breastfeeding earlier than I wanted. It required work and Nicole supported my journey.

We referred to bayou city when my daughter was 2 weeks old with a tongue and lip tie which was causing some breastfeeding issues, and I’m so grateful we were led to this group. Suzanne is incredible! She is beyond knowledgeable in this field and it shows. She cares so much for her patients and has helped us with learning how to properly nurse with ease. We’ve also seen Tessa for bodywork and she has such a magic touch, I can literally watch the tension leave my daughter. She always leaves her appointments feeling so much more relaxed and content. I will absolutely recommend this lactation group to any mom seasoned or first time they are amazing!

Ali was beyond my expectation! She made me feel so comfortable and confident. I feel more prepared for breastfeeding and assured that I have support from Ali. Really thankful for her and you all helping me through this new adventure.

We are so thankful for Tessa & Suzanne! They are the reason my son is breastfeeding at 4 months. Tessa helped diagnose his posterior tongue & lip tie at 10 weeks, and helped immensely in the weeks after as he healed and learned to breastfeed again. I wish I had known about Tessa & Suzanne when I first had my baby! They're kind, thoughtful, work hard for you and your baby, and have been available whenever I need them to either come to my home, or for a quick piece advice via text. I highly recommend them!

Highly recommend them! I met with Tiphany and she gave me so much good information. Noticed the possible reflux my son may have. I am so thankful I went. I believe every mom should go with their newborn.

Suzanne and all of the support staff are wonderful. Suzanne is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. She identified several factors contributing to our breastfeeding struggles, and provided support and insight each time that I have reached out to her. She has also provided several helpful references to other specialists to improve all aspects of my children’s well-being.

Karen at Bayou City Breastfeeding is amazing!!! I had a lot of pain the first few weeks and in one (!!) visit with Karen, it improved drastically. She also helped me balance a supply imbalance, learn how to use my pump, taught us how to feed a bottle, and gave lots of mouth exercises to help my baby. At our final visit, she even diagnosed a milk allergy a full month before our pediatrician. I would recommend Karen a million times. We are now at 16 months and still going strong. Thank you, BCB!

Wow, I just met with Suzanne Juels today, and I cannot even begin to express how wonderfully educated this woman is. She is truly a blessing and very knowledgeable. She has answered and given so much advice and tips on our journey with our baby and family! She has given me a wealth of information that even after 10yrs of seeing doctors couldn’t answer. She was kind, patient and very informative. I wish more women could have access to this type of service! I look forward to improving my baby’s health and our breastfeeding journey. Thanks so much!

This is my third time working with Suzanne/Bayou City Breastfeeding and I cannot recommend them enough. Suzanne is very knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. She will give you the support and confidence you need to overcome any nursing obstacles and successfully breastfeed your little one. I surpassed my goals and was able to nurse past three years with two of my children and I'm currently nursing my fourth baby now. My only regret was that I didn't know Suzanne when I had my first. Bayou City Breastfeeding is a wealth of knowledge and resources for all moms even if you decide to bottle feed. They are a great help for all moms and babies and worth seeing even just to have extra support.

These ladies are an amazing resource. They are available, consistent, knowledgeable and so supportive of breastfeeding families. Every single person I have come into contact with is 100% committed to ensuring the breastfeeding experience you and your babu deserve- no matter how much work it takes to get there. They are also so easy to get in touch with!

So far I’m loving Bayou City Breastfeeding! They have made the process so easy, they verified my insurance and informed me my coverage very quickly! I am working with Kyna and she is amazing… I can’t say enough good things about my experience with her and bayou city breastfeeding. I always look forward to my next appointment. They have made my breastfeeding experience so much better even in just two visits!

Amazing support in such a difficult time that’s trying to breastfeed your baby. My consultant was Karen and I have no words to describe the help, patience and knowledge shared.

After having my second child I decided I wanted to give breastfeeding another shot with an unsuccessful first attempt. Suzzane Juel was really patient and knowledgeable on all my questions and concerns, at the time I called I was nearly ready to give up with all the pain and engorment but she helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel and she always checks on the baby and I and when I need help or advice she's a huge help. I would absolutely recommend This business if you are considering breastfeeding Suzzane has been doing this a long time and her wisdom shows she was able to view things that I would have otherwise not known or paid attention to it was money well spent I would do it again.

This is our second baby with Bayou City Breastfeeding. Our first had many complicated issues so this time I wanted to be prepared. Suzanne helped me get everything in line when I was still pregnant so we would be prepared. Although we are facing some of the same issues (ties), this time has been much easier to deal with because we started with such a knowledgeable IBCLC. Her scope of knowledge is unmatched. I’m fighting an infection in my incision and she knew whether or not the meds prescribed were safe for breastfeeding. I also lost a lot of blood during delivery which caused low iron which could have caused low milk supply so she recommended some supplements right away.In general, her knowledge is unmatched. The way she cares for moms is unbelievable. I only wish I would have known her for all of our kids.

Suzanne is the best! Since the first time we went to see her, I knew we were in good hands. She was able to diagnosed my baby’s tongue tie and lip tie right away! She was with us during the procedure, and along the way even after! I feel so blessed to have met her. She still answers my questions promptly, even though I haven’t seen her in a while. I know I can count on her always. Thank you Suzanne for being so caring and loving what you do!

I wish I could give Melissa 10 out of 10 stars. She was absolutely amazing. This is my first LC visit I've had out of all 5 of my children, and I wish so much that I would've gone to her with my first baby when she was a premie and with all of mine babies. So thorough, didn't rush the visit, was SO sweet to my baby, and overall great experience! From nursing, latching, pumping, going back to work, and covering issues related to her tongue & lip tie she helped with all of it. She is so knowledgeable about her work. Thank you more than you know!

Suzanne was straightforward, compassionate, and extremely helpful in diagnosing and helping us to correct the issues we were having with our breastfeeding journey. I would absolutely seek her services again the next time we have a baby.
