Why It Works MATRESENCE. . ."the process of becoming a mother... It's a holistic change in multiple domains of your life. You're going to feel it perhaps bodily, psychologically...with your peer groups...at your job... in terms of the big philosophical questions.... ...When we don't talk about it, the myth of motherhood as this idyllic oasis is perpetuated in our culture...Talking about what's happening with you with other moms is such a pillar of support." Aurélie Athan, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology Columbia University Connect Let's talk about it... The Truth . . first-time moms are often blindsided by many aspects of new motherhood - it's tough! Despite all their planning, they aren't prepared for the transition to motherhood. Having your first baby is likely one of the most impacting, life-changing and overwhelming things you'll ever do.

Listen to Susan's Mom Chat Episode BREASTFEEDING GOLD on Apple Podcasts on Spodify Susan Howard, RN, MSN, IBCLC Board Certified Lactation Consultant Arlington Lactation, LLC O: 703.651.6466 C: 703.608.0466 All About Me I began my nursing career as a Labor and Delivery Nurse. After starting my own family, I taught childbirth classes and later co-hosted a support group for new mothers. Breastfeeding was a hot topic for new mothers. It piqued my inner nerdiness about this idea of 'the womanly art' of breastfeeding. I obtained my certification as a lactation consultant after the birth of my third baby, my 'challenge baby.' She was a failure to thrive baby, refused to eat, and struggled to gain weight. We fought hard for every ounce the first year of her life. I learned many lesssons from her. Two years after that, I had my fourth baby: Arlington Lactation & Feeding Therapy, LLC. Starting my private practice was like growing, nurturing, and birthing a newborn. Arlington Lactation was hatched with three basic goals: nurturing mothers, feeding babies, and supporting breastfeeding. I proudly call myself a "lacto-geek" and love to talk about babies, breasts and feeding. I have a special interest in tongue ties and supporting babies with dysfunctional sucking skills. Working with medically-complex mothers and babies, including NICU graduates, reflux babies, slow gainers, and low supply mommas is my forte. Helping nursing mothers prepare for the transition back to work also brings me great joy. A reservation system is available for families wanting to reserve a floating spot for a newborn visit shortly after discharge. Birth is unpredictable; your reservation will ensure a timely visit. The retainer needs to be submitted by the 36th week of pregnancy. Reservation spaces are limited.
