I cannot recommend Brittaney Davidson highly enough! After a very difficult and emotionally draining breastfeeding experience with my first child, I was nervous and uncertain about trying again with my second. From the very first consultation, she immediately put me at ease with her warmth and genuine empathy. She helped put me at ease and has become an invaluable resource for me. Her knowledge of breastfeeding techniques and lactation challenges that can occur is remarkable. She took the time to thoroughly assess my baby’s latch and my milk supply explaining every step in a way that made me feel empowered and not at all overwhelmed. What sets her apart is her passion! She is truly invested in the success of every family she works with. She celebrates the small wins, provides encouragement along the way and most importantly she gives practical, evidence-based guidance that actually works. Thanks to Brittaneys support, I have made it to one month of exclusively breastfeeding my second child…….successfully and confidently! This is a milestone I never thought possible after my first experience. Beyond her expertise, her compassion makes her not just a lactation nurse, but a trusted partner in this roller coaster journey of motherhood. Any parent lucky enough to work with her will feel supported and truly cared for. Thank you for all you do Brittaney!!
Response from the owner:Victoria,

Your one month of exclusive breastfeeding is an incredible achievement, and it is wonderful to hear how her guidance helped you feel confident and cared for throughout the process. Thank you for trusting us with this chapter of your journey.

The ladies (Karen & Suzanne) at Bayou City Breastfeeding have been a godsend. They immediately made me feel welcomed and comfortable. They’ve taught me SO much about breastfeeding that I had no idea about, despite all of my “internet research”. My son had a tongue/lip tie revision that reattached. I’m amazed by the work they put in to work with the pediatric dentist and the family to provide the best care for the best outcome.. without them my sons tie would still be reattached & we’d be right back at square one. I also have to say, Suzanne works so hard with making sure families can afford lactation services from providing the grant program to working with insurance companies. My family cannot say thank you enough to these ladies for helping with our breastfeeding journey.
My IBCLC helped me and my baby persevere with breastfeeding as we waited for his frenectomy. She’s worked with us through all the difficulties and encouraged me when I’ve wanted to give up. I would not have continued breastfeeding if it weren’t for the support and care my baby and I received from Bayou City Breastfeeding.
Response from the owner:Hi Sarah,

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!
I watched courses, I read books about breastfeeding and naively thought “I got this”
After a week of crying and being frustrated with feeding we started our journey with Karen and she is wonderful. Lots of knowledge and slowly but surely we are progressing. I appreciate her guidance while we are figuring this out.
It’s lovely to know that I am not alone and there is help out there.
Thank you Karen!

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!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Tiphany and Bayou City Breastfeeding Lactation were such a blessing! They provided incredible support and helped me through the toughest part of my little one and my breastfeeding journey! I would strongly recommend their services to all breastfeeding mamas. This is baby #3 for me and I truly wish I knew about these specialists with my first and second born.

Brandy Lightfoot at Bayou City Breastfeeding in Katy completely transformed my breastfeeding journey. She was incredibly thoughtful, offered practical and compassionate advice, and truly made a world of difference for me and my baby. Before meeting her, I was seriously considering giving up—but thanks to her support and expertise, I felt empowered to continue. Brandy is not only an amazing lactation consultant but also a genuinely kind and caring person. If you're struggling or need guidance, I highly recommend reaching out to her. My baby and I feel truly blessed to have been in her care.

I was fortunate enough to be able to breastfeed my last baby. With that came struggles and a search for guidance. And I found that at Bayou City Breastfeeding. My very first appointment was very personal and comforting. Some may think that being there for an hour is too much but when the appointment is just about you and your baby and how to streamline your breastfeeding journey, that hour has come and gone. I am very glad my doctor recommended them.
Response from the owner:Hi Monica,

I've had a wonderful experience at Bayou City Breastfeeding!! Rebecca was outstanding in helping me navigate the complexities of my BlueCross BlueShield insurance. She made what could have been a daunting process remarkably smooth and stress-free through her exceptional communication skills. She promptly responded to my inquiries, providing timely updates and guidance as needed. Thanks to Rebecca's assistance, I was able to access the lactation support I needed without the added stress of navigating insurance complexities.
