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!
Bayou City Breastfeeding, specifically Suzanne Juel, has helped me and my daughter so much on our breastfeeding journey. She has helped my baby latch properly, ensured my baby is getting enough to eat to grow and thrive, and also helped me with establishing a pumping routine to get my baby accustomed to bottles. She also is a wealth of knowledge on so many subjects. As a first-time mom, her expertise has been invaluable. I only wish we would have seen her sooner!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
No question or concern are too big are small. The plan created fits the concerns and needs of the family. I was from the first time helped to the point feeding didn’t hurt. It has been explained very well and easy to follow.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! We are so pleased that we were a part of your support team!
Top of the line lactation care for those who will spare no expense for their little one. Kristin was so caring and thoughtful as well as patient with us as new firsttime parents! My consultation really helped put my mind at ease in the early weeks, if even just to have someone to talk to and validate my concerns! If you’re on the fence about seeing an LC, don’t be—your baby will thank you (in coos and gurgles) and your mind will be so much more at ease. It’s worth the few hundred dollars to have them come to your home. Max thanks you, Kristin!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Erika, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Kristin provided you with top-notch care and put your mind at ease during those crucial early weeks. Your kind words about her patience, thoughtfulness, and support mean the world to us. We’re so glad that you and Max had such a positive experience, and we truly appreciate you recommending our services to other new parents. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re here to support you every step of the way on your breastfeeding journey.

All the best to you and Max from all of us at Bayou City Breastfeeding! 💖👶🍼
I was so happy with my experience with Tessa. I learned so much more than just about breastfeeding. She taught me about tummy time and all kinds of tips and...
Time spent with Mary was time well spent. She helped ease my anxieties and gave good guidance to get my baby and I on the right track for breastfeeding success. Scheduling with her was always easy, the office staff was most helpful. I highly recommend!

With my first child, my breastfeeding journey was terrible due to edema, low milk supply, and not so good advice from the hospital and lactation consultant. For my second child, I promised myself to be more prepared and that is how I found this practice. I was able to breastfeed my second baby and have some spare milk on the freezer. My only regret is not reaching out to Suzanne the first time around. I keep thinking how things would have been different if she had been my lactation consultant with my first child. The team here is amazing. Please reach out, even if you think it is already too late, they truly keep up and set personalized goals.

Jennifer Robert at Bayou City Breastfeeding has been amazing! I truly do not believe I would have had such a successful/enjoyable breastfeeding experience without her. I’ve seen her since week 1 of my son being born and now I’m 3 months in and doing great/ loving exclusively breastfeeding. Highly recommend!
