If you go to this location, then you definitely need to work with RN Karen. She is simply the best! My family and I are full of appreciation, gratitude, and respect. If it was not for Nurse Karen, we would not have found out my son's tongue and cheek ties. I wish I could have met her earlier, but since we worked with her (my son was 5 months old), we learned a lot from her and our lives greatly improved because of her help and dedication. She is helpful, resourceful, passionate, kind, and nice. I cannot find words to tell you how awesome she is and Bayou City because they hire professional people. I recommend Bayou City and Karen to anyone.

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...
The lactation consultants I worked with - Megan and a few trainees - were so helpful in giving me confidence and tools to make my breastfeeding journey successful and enjoyable. My son and I are doing so well today in part because of their support. I liked that there were options for virtual, in home and in office depending on our needs and how we were doing on any given day. The online messaging with quick responses was also super helpful. I felt like they truly cared for us and especially for my son and could share their experience as well. I highly recommend their services!! They also bill insurance which can be hard to find!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review!
I thought all hope was lost. I wanted to give up so many times. My goal was 1 year. Then I said maybe 3 months. Maybe 6 months. Maybe 9 months. BUT HERE I AM. 1 year later. I have brandy to thank for that. Her knowledge, her patience, her ability to give me a CHOICE. to give me the freedom to make an Informed consent. To be able show me and help me. She was there whenever I needed her. She was kind and patient and believed in me when I didn’t believe in me. When I say you NEED a great lactation consultants to help you in your journey when you’re lost, I cannot emphasize that enough.
Go to brandy.
Go to bayou city breastfeeding. It’ll change everything!

Kyna gave us a visit on the 4th of July! I’m having so many challenges with breast feeding, but she and her team encouraged me with their rich knowledge and experience on top of warm caring touch. Highly recommend!
Amanda at Bayou City Katy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all our questions and was able to guide us in the best directions to take with many different options for our personal situation. She was able to give us tips not only for what we should do with our infant but also gave us helpful advice on what I could do personally on my behalf to help in the process. She was patient, and we learned a lot, just from our initial visit.
Response from the owner:Hi Aika, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌟 We're thrilled to hear that Amanda was able to provide you with the guidance and support you needed. It's great to know that her knowledge and patience made a positive impact on your experience.

Had a great pre baby experience. I am happy to say I had no issues feeding my baby. It was so easy after being taught what to do. The office is also very clean and professional. Staff is very knowledgeable and caring.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Brandy Lightfoot!! A woman who honestly cannot be described in a simple Google Review. A 100/5 star human being. Going into the hospital I planned on having a natural birth and breastfeeding (I took the classes & everything) and I left with a precious baby, a Caesarean birth, and my baby on formula (due post opt infection that led to swelling and unable to latch). Brandy came over on our FIRST visit and took a hopeless situation and turned it into magic! We latched and have been breastfeeding ever since that very first time (now 6+ months). Brandy gave me the tools to work with my specific challenges and my babies and helped us create a bond that every woman dreams about having with her baby. Brandy helped me get my supply up, manage my supply, helped me when I traveled (pumping schedule), taught me about bottles, feeding, pumping, etc., and has been the most helpful resource on my motherhood journey. Brandy is a true earth angel and has the kindest heart. She not only helped me breastfeed but she also helped me as a mother and a woman regain my confidence and strength. I owe so much of my journey to this woman! If you are on the fence do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Brandy, you and your baby will thank me, I promise. Good luck on your journey!
