Integrative Nurse Practitioner & Nutrition Services
At The Breastfeeding Center of Greater Washington, we’re expanding our care to include Integrative Family Nurse Practitioner services — combining advanced clinical expertise with the compassionate, personalized support our families know and trust.
Our FNP partners closely with our International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) to offer comprehensive care for lactation, breast and nipple health, infant feeding challenges, and food sensitivities. Together, we help families find comfort and confidence in feeding, empowering parents with the knowledge and tools to nourish themselves and their babies.
Supporting Families Through Every Feeding Journey
For some families, feeding challenges go beyond latch or supply. Babies may experience digestive discomfort, fussiness, skin irritation, or other signs of food reactivity, leaving parents feeling unsure about what’s causing the problem.
Together, our team offers an integrative approach to care — combining expert lactation support with medical insight to help you identify and manage potential lactation-related food sensitivities or allergic reactions. We offer personalized guidance through elimination diets and safe food reintroductions, helping you discover what works best for your baby’s digestion and comfort while maintaining parental health and milk supply.
Lactating Breast Health & Integrative Clinical Care
Our co-management services also include:
Engorgement assessment and management strategies to promote comfort, regulated milk production, and protect breast tissue health
Mastitis spectrum evaluation and treatment, including early identification and management of inflammatory processes, evaluation and treatment of infectious processes, and evidence-based interventions to restore balance and comfort
Care for lactation-associated nipple conditions, including evaluation and management of pain, trauma, or latch-related concerns
Individualized care plans that integrate medical management, lactation expertise, and holistic wellness guidance
Our goal is to make sure you feel supported every step of the way — with compassionate care, clear guidance, and a plan that fits your family’s unique needs.
