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.
Response from the owner:Hi Kaitlin,

I've only just had the initial appointment so far, but I am very pleased with the information and guidance provided and will continue to come here for more breastfeeding support 😄
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to support you in your breastfeeding journey!
Great service all around.
The only provider (in my experience) that you can actually contact from your home at almost anytime .
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
I can't recommend this place enough. I met with Suzanne with my newborn son when I was having severe pain with latching. Suzanne was so helpful in helping...
Tessa is an AMAZING consultant. I literally ask her about everything! I rely on her more than I rely on my son's doctor. When I ask the pediatrician a question, I usually get "He's fine", but with Tessa I get explanations and details that help me better understand certain things. Dr. Emily is heaven sent as she helped to loosen my baby. The exercises have been working very well with him and he so flexible now and sleeps so much better. Her patience with babies is wonderful!!
Response from the owner:Hello Lee!

Thank you so much for your glowing review! It is so wonderful to hear that Tessa and Bayou City Breastfeeding far exceeded your expectations.
It is our mission to pass on our knowledge on to our clients, so they have all the tools they need to take care of their babies. Remember, all of your questions are important and deserve detailed answers. No one knows your baby better than you do!

I cannot speak enough praise for Bayou City, specifically Claire J and Brandy (who we met a few times!). Claire is my go to gal for all things breastfeeding for mom and baby. I’m a nicu nurse and have completed coursework myself to become a CLC, and I know MANY LCs, but none compare to Claire. She is so dedicated and is a vast wealth of knowledge. We live in Dallas and were connected to Claire through a mutual friend after a complicated tie release when my daughter was almost completely aversive to the breast and would not take a bottle. I was very close to requesting a feeding tube from my pediatrician. Claire met with me virtually multiple times, even on the day after Christmas, and she was able to help my daughter be receptive to feeding consistently in a matter of 48 hours. In the months to come, we visited Claire at bayou city for week long intensives, where she worked us in to her schedule around our other appointments in Katy and even brought in other LCs like Brandy to consult on post release healing. She is skilled at navigating ties (pre and post release) and breastfeeding, supply issues, maternal health complications, and the emotional dynamics of everything. She has a wealth of resources at her fingertips and knows how to use them. Kind and gentle, realistic, and affirming of maternal dyad goals, Claire is the person y’all need for success in your breastfeeding journey.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your incredible review and kind words about Claire and Brandy! We are truly honored to have been part of your family's breastfeeding journey, and your story is a testament to the power of perseverance and compassionate care.

Claire’s dedication and expertise shine brightly, and it’s wonderful to hear how her guidance—whether virtually or in person—made such a meaningful difference for you and your daughter. She embodies the very heart of what we strive for at Bayou City Breastfeeding: personalized support that not only addresses the physical aspects of feeding but also considers the emotional and practical needs of each family.

We’re equally thrilled to know that Brandy's consultations added to the positive experience. It’s our mission to provide collaborative, comprehensive care to help families overcome challenges and achieve their unique goals.

Your words reaffirm why we do what we do—helping mothers and babies thrive together. Thank you again for taking the time to share your journey, and for trusting us during such an important time. Wishing you and your family continued success and joy on this beautiful journey of parenthood! 🌸
My son and I were having latch issues as well as needing overall check ins with his weight. I was referred to Dana Gillman and my goodness I couldn’t recommend her enough! She is absolutely amazing and makes you feel 100% comfortable. She has a wide range of knowledge and you can tell she really cares about her patients, she is super responsive when I have any questions and believe me I have a ton! Extremely happy with my care by Dana, BOOK WITH HER!
Response from the owner:Hi Bailey,

Thank you so much for your kind words and glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that Dana was able to support you and your son through your breastfeeding journey. It means the world to us that you felt comfortable, cared for, and truly heard. Dana is incredibly passionate about what she does, and your feedback is a beautiful reflection of her dedication. We're so glad you’re happy with your care — and we’re always here for you whenever you need us!

Warmly,
The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team 💙
