Hi! Welcome here. My name is Abbie Bridges, and I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), and mom of 2 with experience in assisting breastfeeding in all stages, from pregnancy to introducing solids to weaning. I graduated in 2021 from the University of Maryland with my Masters in Public Health and have been working ever since to advance community health through education, advocacy, and client support. Prior to opening my practice, I provided lactation care with a local pediatric practice and nonprofit aimed at addressing health disparities and supporting underserved communities. I currently live in Gaithersburg with my husband, 2 daughters, 2 cats, and 4 chickens! When I’m not with clients you can find me outside with my girls, baking a decadent chocolate dessert, or reading.

I am very passionate about helping families succeed in an infant feeding relationship that is mutually beneficial, enjoyable, and meaningful for everyone involved. If you would like to learn more about my approach, you can read more here. Please feel free to contact me here if you would like to chat for a few minutes before scheduling to see if we are a good fit, or book a visit here.
