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!

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Jennifer. She helped us with preoperative preparation for our baby's tongue tie release, in addition to guidance through lactation issues and postoperative wound checks with ongoing guidance. If only insurance companies truly understood the invaluable things that can be achieved through lactation consultants! Thank you for everything and helping our baby.

I can’t say enough good things about Tessa and how much she has helped this first time mom. She has calmed my anxieties and taught me SO MUCH about breastfeeding, positions, baby’s tongue movement, and body work. Her referral to our pediatric dentist and instructions after our tongue tie release has greatly healed my baby. Moreso, she’s so prompt with messages and will fit me in her schedule when I’m in a pinch. Our appointments are never rushed, and time just flies by in the most wonderful way. I truly never thought how much I’d need a lactation counselor as someone who’s been working with pregnant moms and moms with babies for years, but my baby isn’t even three months yet and we’ve visited her twice a month. She keeps the atmosphere super zen and uplifting. I’d go in ready to cry, end up laughing, and leave excited to implement the recommendations she’s made. Her depth of knowledge, expertise, and passion is evident. My infant always seems happier, physically relaxed, and her latch progresses so much after our visits with Tessa. I’m so grateful to her impact on our breastfeeding journey. God bless Tessa!

i had such a wonderful experience with bayou city. as a third time mama, i was still in need of breastfeeding advice. after working through my baby’s oral ties, and food sensitivities, we were still having issues with breastfeeding. i received some great tips and advice, that i hadn’t tried prior. anyone could benefit from seeing their Lcs.

Wow! If you are trying to find a place that will take the time to talk to you and help you with your breastfeeding needs, this is it. My consult was 1 hour 20 min, and our lactation specialist was helpful and had such great information and tips. She helped me latch my baby and gave me great feedback on how to do it, which is what I’m struggling with. She evaluated my baby as well and gave us exercises to do at home to help with the lip and tongue ties. She scheduled a follow up visit to see our progress in the next week. All in all, so grateful to have this resource. Highly recommend it!

And you can text them to communicate! Hello, this is so helpful for parents, instead of waiting on hold for 20 min to make an appointment.
