Welcome to my corner of the internet! I'm Brandy, a dedicated Registered Nurse (RN) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a passion for helping mothers and babies on their breastfeeding journey. My career in nursing began in 2006, where I initially found my calling in the labor and delivery unit. Witnessing the miracle of new life and being a part of that special moment filled me with joy and purpose. However, it was my personal experience with breastfeeding challenges that truly ignited my passion for lactation and breastfeeding support. As a mother myself, I faced hurdles and uncertainties in my breastfeeding journey that led me to dive headfirst into the world of lactation science and support. This transformative experience sparked a desire to empower and guide other mothers through their own breastfeeding challenges. Becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in January 2018 was a pivotal step in my journey, solidifying my commitment to providing evidence-based care and guidance. In late 2020, I made the decision to transition full-time into private practice, allowing me to dedicate my expertise exclusively to supporting mothers and babies in their breastfeeding endeavors. With years of hands-on experience in labor and delivery, coupled with my specialized training as an IBCLC, I bring a unique blend of medical expertise and compassionate care to every interaction. I understand the physical and emotional aspects of breastfeeding, and I am committed to providing personalized guidance tailored to each mother's individual needs. When I'm not assisting mothers and babies, my faith and family keep me grounded. I'm a proud wife and mother of two wonderful sons. My own family experiences have deepened my understanding of the complexities of parenthood and the importance of a strong support system. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to being a part of your breastfeeding adventure.❤️

My name is Karen Swan, and I hail from Scotland. I've been an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) for the past 18 years, though my journey in supporting breastfeeding mothers spans over 30 years. For the last two years, I've been working in private practice for Bayou City Breastfeeding, following a rewarding career as a hospital-based IBCLC specializing in the critical first days of breastfeeding and NICU support for 15 years. My journey began as a Registered Midwife in Scotland, where I spent 12 years honing my skills in maternal and infant care. With my extensive background, I take great joy in guiding mothers through every stage of their breastfeeding journey, from those early days to more complex challenges. Beyond my professional pursuits, I cherish moments spent with my three grown children, two grandchildren, and our beloved dog. Travel is another passion of mine, and I love exploring new destinations while enjoying leisurely walks.

Guided by an unwavering passion for nurturing others, Nicole embarked on a transformative journey to elevate the lives of new and expectant mothers. After earning her psychology degree from Texas A&M Corpus Christi in 2004, Nicole took the path of nursing, driven by an innate desire to make a meaningful impact. Her nursing journey crystallized at Delmar College in Corpus Christi, where she obtained her associate degree in Nursing in 2007. Stepping into various nursing roles, it was within the tender embrace of Labor and Delivery that Nicole's heart found its true home - working with new mothers. In 2011, a pivotal shift occurred as Nicole joined Hermann Memorial Southeast's newborn nursery team and postpartum unit. This marked the genesis of her journey into the realm of lactation. Beginning as a Certified Lactation Counselor, Nicole's fervor and expertise propelled her into the heart of the Lactation and Education Department in 2014. Nurturing mothers at their bedside, Nicole wove a tapestry of support that extended far beyond feeding. Her efforts championed initiatives like skin-to-skin after deliveries, promoting parent-newborn unity, and empowering nursing staff with essential breastfeeding skills. Nicole's commitment was honored with the Good Samaritan Bronze Award in both 2014 and 2016, reflecting her transformative work in the Lactation department. In 2015, she achieved a significant milestone by becoming an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). This was paralleled by her completion of a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN) from the University of Texas, Arlington. A new chapter unfolded in 2017, as Nicole joined forces with Suzanne, Tessa, and Kyna, at Dr. James Liu, ENT's office, specializing in oral restriction diagnosis and treatment. Her role involved providing pre and post-frenotomy support, alleviating feeding challenges caused by lip and tongue-ties. Harnessing this wealth of experience, Nicole established her private practice, extending compassionate in-home lactation support across Southeast Houston. The natural progression led her to unite her private practice with Bayou City Breastfeeding, LLC in 2019, further amplifying her reach to support mothers in South and Central Houston. A dedicated board member of Houston Area Lactation Consultants and Educators (HALCEA), Nicole's community commitment reflects her unwavering dedication to making a difference. Nestled in Houston, Texas, alongside her husband and two daughters, Nicole enjoys an active life and finds solace in Pilates classes

Hey there radiant moms and families! 🥰 I’m Jennifer, a passionate Maternal-Child Health advocate with over two decades as a Registered Nurse and Community Health Educator. My journey began in New Orleans where I graduated from LSU Health Sciences Center’s School of Nursing. My love for Maternal-Child Health truly blossomed after witnessing a Midwife-assisted delivery while in nursing school. From an RN at The Birthing Place at Tulane University Hospital and Clinic, to volunteering post-Hurricane Katrina, and moving to Houston pregnant with my twins, my passion for supporting moms intensified during my tenure at The Woman’s Hospital of Texas. I soon realized teaching was my calling. 🍎 As a Certified Childbirth Educator, teaching an array of topics from Infant CPR to Marvelous Multiples, I specialize in empowering parents. And my own NICU journey with my preterm twins fueled my commitment to lactation support. In 2014, I became a Certified Lactation Counselor, and soon after, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Contributing to The Woman’s Hospital of Texas becoming the first Baby-Friendly Hospital in Houston is a badge of honor for me. My heart is with the fierce moms and their tiny NICU warriors. With my professional and personal expertise, I was pleased to bring my passion to my community by leading the opening of Memorial Hermann Pearland Hospital’s Lactation and Perinatal Education Departments. Come 2022, I joined the fantastic Bayou City Breastfeeding crew! Now, from our Webster and West NASA Offices to your cozy homes, I'm here for you. 🏡 Outside of work, I cherish time in Pearland with my husband and four children, engage in my church’s Women’s Ministry, and daydream about sandy beaches. Ready to embark on this journey together? Let’s make your breastfeeding experience memorable! 💜 Remember, together, we've got this! 🤱🏻🌸

My approach to lactation support is holistic and biological, and tailored to each family's unique needs. I understand that no two breastfeeding journeys are the same, and I strive to determine the root cause of any difficulties. My goal is to help your family meet your breastfeeding goals and empower you throughout your journey with excellent support, care, and education. One of my greatest joys is seeing the bond created between the infant and the breastfeeding parent. Watching infants thrive and develop is incredibly rewarding for me, and I find parental empowerment equally fulfilling. I also believe that other family members, such as partners and grandparents, play a vital role in the breastfeeding journey. They are a crucial part of the support network and help the breastfeeding parent achieve their goals. My support is structured to meet the unique needs of each family. If a mother feels uncertain or overwhelmed about breastfeeding, I take several steps: praising her accomplishments, actively listening to her concerns, assessing the dyad, discussing any changes in breastfeeding goals, and creating or modifying the Plan of Care. I often recommend techniques like "skin to skin Baby-Moons" which include baby-led/cue based feeding and laid-back biological breastfeeding. This method allows the baby to explore and be in control, fostering a natural and comfortable breastfeeding experience. My current areas of study and interest as an IBCLC include microbiome seeding/ gut health and bottle refusal.
