First, Bayou City is great! I reached out via text on a Sunday and they responded and got me set up with an appointment the next day. Karen has been our saving grace. She has taken my very complicated case and gone above and beyond to help me find answers. If she didn’t know something she went to great lengths to find someone who did. Without her I wouldn’t be as far as I am now. This is my first birth, and she genuinely has helped me with being the best mama to my baby I can be. I think seeing someone like Karen should be a recommendation for any mom-not just those who need assistance in lactating.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy to be a part of your breastfeeding Journey!

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!

Can't recommend Bayou City Breastfeeding enough. Video triage visits are available if in-person visit availability is lagging. In-person visits are not rushed (90 min) with pre- and post-feeding weights of baby to ensure transfer. I learned an immense amount from my LC that completely changed my approach to breastfeeding, helped my baby increase milk transfer with less painful latch, assisted us with changing bottle nipples to address issues we were having, and eased my anxiety. Easy to communicate with staff via text message. Billing department is also very responsive and ensures complete understanding of expected insurance coverage (my visits to date have been 100% covered by UHC).
Response from the owner:Hi Megan,
Thank you for your amazing review! We’re so glad both the triage and in-person visits gave you the support you needed. It’s wonderful to hear that our guidance on latch, milk transfer, and bottle nipple adjustments made a real difference for you and your baby.

Clear communication and transparency are priorities for us, so we’re thrilled our team and billing department helped make everything stress-free.

We greatly appreciate your trust in our ENTIRE team and are always here if you need us again!

With love and latches,
The Bayou City Breastfeeding Team

Had a home visit during COVID...the LC that came was wearing a mask and was disinfecting everything which was a bonus! She corrected my baby’s latch in the first try and it was a game changer! I didn’t realize I wasn’t doing it right! She gave me some exercises to help with my baby’s minor tongue tie which I appreciated vs going straight to the operation route. We are 7 weeks now and things are great! Baby’s latch is strong and she is gaining weight. I was hating breast feeding before...now I’m loving it!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review and we are so happy that things are going better for you now!

Jessica DeAses has been my IBCLC and she’s absolutely AMAZING! Definitely a blessing to me and my family. She’s so sweet, understanding, never makes you feel rushed, and completely relatable. I don’t feel like she’s just a consultant but a friend because she’s so easy to talk to. The office is adorable as well, so cozy! I will definitely be meeting with her for any needs I may have!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!

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!

I've been working with Karen for 5 months now. She has been truly exceptional. She has idea galore, tips and tricks I've never heard (this is my 3rd kiddo) and sage, wise advice. I'm not sure if we would still be breastfeeding without her. She is a gem. I would absolutely recommend Karen and Bayou City Breastfeeding. Without a doubt!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. We think Karen is amazing too, and are so happy to have her on our team.
