R&R Motherhood

R&R Motherhood is an Arlington lactation practice run by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant who supports families across Greater Boston. Help is available both before birth and after, covering latch, milk supply, pumping, bottles, mastitis, returning to work and weaning. The care is evidence-based and offered in a few different formats, since every family comes to feeding with different goals, and visits can take place at home or virtually.

The consultant came to the work after her own difficult start to motherhood in 2021, when she struggled with breastfeeding and later with postpartum anxiety and depression. Help from an IBCLC and a support system of new mothers made the difference, and that experience inspired her to become an IBCLC herself. In-home visits let her see a family’s real setup, from the chair and pillows to the pump, without a trip out with a newborn.
