Welcome to Full Circle Lactation Consulting
Compassionate, comprehensive breastfeeding help in the privacy and comfort of your own home.
If you’re searching Webpages like this, you don’t need to be told why to breastfeed – you’re looking for answers on how. You may be:
- Pregnant and trying to make practical preparations.
- Concerned about the baby’s intake, weight gain or breastfeeding skills.
- Trying to figure out the “fit” that makes breastfeeding comfortable for you and that unique baby.
- Coping with unusual difficulties (or feeling a little overwhelmed with the normal adjustments of the intense early weeks).
- Trying to breastfeeding work for you, in the face of modern challenges – outside employment, breast surgery, fertility issues, prematurity, or health complications for the mother or baby.
Maybe you’re worried and tired and wondering what to do next. Luckily, your baby was born into a hopeful family! Breastfeeding tends to work when mothers find the resources they need to stay in the game.
Breastfeeding is a dance involving two partners. For the healthy term baby, breastfeeding is instinctive. But for the mother, nursing combines instincts *and* learned skills. Some new mothers have grown up seeing breastfeeding all around them, and can tap into the collective knowledge of experienced parents. Because we’ve lost that tradition, many new mothers today face an intense, isolated learning curve. A professional board-certified lactation consultant addresses the needs of both mother and baby and protects their unique partnership.
If you feel that your breastfeeding relationship needs practical hands-on helps, skilled observations and insights, some fresh ideas and warm encouragement, call today to arrange an in-home consultation. Margaret Sabo Wills, IBCLC of Full Circle Lactation provides services within a forty-minute driving radius of northern Silver Spring, MD, encompassing much of Montgomery County, northern DC and western Prince George’s County.
