There are few things as frustrating as struggling to breastfeed. Throughout your pregnancy, you constantly hear about the benefits of breastfeeding. You get all the supplies you need and create the perfect nursing corner for those late-night feeding sessions. And then, the first time they finally latch…OUCH. For many parents, the initial pain of breastfeeding never quite goes away, or you might experience other barriers such as insufficient supply and tongue tie. You need an expert who will work with you and help you create a plan that lets you feed your baby the way you’d prefer. If you’re searching for Northern Virginia lactation consultants, I would love to tell you about the best around!

Marcy will spend around two hours providing you with an assessment and creating a realistic plan to help you out. You can also sign up for virtual prenatal lactation classes that will get you ready for the initial feedings.
