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!

This company is absolutely wonderful!! I worked with 3 different IBCLCs (depending on which location was most convenient and my crazy schedule - they were extremely accommodating), and they were all phenomenal!! Brandy is experienced and helped me get through a lot of challenges during my breastfeeding journey. The owner, Suzanne, is knowledgeable and cares a great deal about each mother/baby pair that walks through that door. I cannot recommend them enough!!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review. We are so happy to be a part of your journey and support you along the way!

Leah Flanagan

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bayou City Breast Feeding! I dealt with pain latching for the first month of my daughters life and then finally came to see Brandy. My only regret is that I would have come sooner!! She helped me learn how to feed without pain but more than that gave me so much encouragement as a new mom! She is such a gift and has helped me tremendously! We still go see her for well visits and she has helped me navigate going back to work and other questions that I have. I can't recommend Brandy and Bayou City Breastfeeding enough!

Suzzane is also amazing and helping my appointments get coverage through my insurance Blue Cross Blue Shield. They did not want to pay the claims, but she has worked so hard to make sure they are paid.

Book an appointment! You will be so so grateful you did!!

Response from the owner:Hi Leah, We greatly appreciate your recommendation!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words with us. We are thrilled to hear how much Suzanne and Bayou City Breastfeeding were able to help you start your breastfeeding journey. Being a new mother can be overwhelming. We are so glad that Suzanne was able to ease your fears and concerns in a kind, caring manner. Please let us know if there is any additional help or guidance that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are still here for you!!! 😊 Thank you! Bayou City Breastfeeding

I cannot recommend Suzanne enough for her exceptional expertise and compassionate care. Suzanne has been instrumental in the care of my son who has oral ties and struggling to feed and gain weight. Her dedication to her profession and genuine concern for her patients is seen and felt during sessions. Suzanne impressed me with her comprehensive understanding of breastfeeding challenges related to oral ties. What I appreciate most about Suzanne and her team is their personalized care. They didn't just address the immediate issue; they took the time to understand our unique goals, concerns, and mental health through this journey. Their supportive attitude created a warm and welcoming environment, making me feel genuinely cared for during a challenging time.

Response from the owner:Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for our kind words!!! Bayou City Breastfeeding’s core mission is to care for the entire health of our clients: physical, emotional and mental. We are so glad that Suzanne was the perfect IBCLC for you and that she was able to guide you through the challenges of breastfeeding a baby with oral ties, who struggled to feed and gain weight. It was truly an honor and a privilege to be able to assist you in this journey. Being a new parent is scary on a good day, so ensuring our families are in a safe and supportive environment is critical to us, and we are so glad to hear that you felt that way. Please let us know if there is any additional help that Bayou City Breastfeeding can provide. We are so happy to have you in the Bayou City Breastfeeding family!!! 😊 Thank you! The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team

Suzanne was extremely helpful and squeezed me on on Fathers day, Sunday, in the morning, to accommodate a prenatal visit I needed as I may go into labor any time soon. She gave me a lot of reassurance and I feel so much more prepared going into labor knowing they have a LC on the other side waiting for me to help me one on one! Thank you!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding journey!

Courtney McCall Hayek

Karen is AMAZING. Seriously, she has been so incredibly helpful in educating me on breastfeeding as a first time mom! Call them if you need someone to do in home visit with you or an office to go to. I did both and it was great. Highly recommend!

Jennifer Kobernik

I cannot say enough good things about Brandy Lightfoot at Bayou City Breastfeeding. After a very disheartening experience with my first daughter’s tongue tie and my low supply, I saw Brandy during my second pregnancy and after the birth. It’s been a tough journey, but my supply is up to 30+ oz (twice as much as the first time despite another tongue tie!) and we haven’t had to feed formula this time. Brandy’s knowledge and guidance is absolutely impeccable. Seeing four and even six ounces in a bottle from one pumping after enduring literal blood, sweat, and tears to pump less than two past—well, if you’ve been there, you know. I highly recommend that you see Brandy as soon as possible if you are struggling with breastfeeding or low supply.

Response from the owner:Jennifer, Thank you so much for your heartfelt and powerful review! 🌟 We are beyond thrilled to hear about your incredible progress and the success you've had this time around. Your journey is a true testament to your strength, perseverance, and the amazing support Brandy provides. Brandy is deeply passionate about helping families thrive, and your words beautifully capture the impact of her dedication and expertise. From navigating tongue ties to doubling your supply and avoiding formula—what an inspiring transformation! Seeing those full bottles must feel like such a victory, and we’re so honored to have been part of that journey with you. Thank you for sharing your story and encouraging others to seek support early. Your experience will no doubt give hope to many others walking a similar path. 💕 We’re cheering you on every step of the way!

So grateful for Bayou city BF and especially Tiphany! My BF experience was incredibly positive, thanks in large part to the support and guidance she provided! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and encouraged me every step of the way, which has led to me BF for almost a year so far. Will take all my babies to her!

Response from the owner:Jen, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Tiphany’s support made such a meaningful impact on your breastfeeding journey. Her knowledge and encouragement truly shine through in everything she does, and your success is a wonderful testament to that.
