Holistic Infant Feeding LLC

Hello
Bianca Flokstra is the founder and owner of Holistic Infant Feeding and is an experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultant serving families all over the DC, MD and VA area. Having breastfed her own three children through working full time, international travel, and let's not forget the pandemic, she started Holistic Infant Feeding to provide individualized, non-judgmental care in baby feeding choices.
What makes us unique?
We feel deeply that no two journeys are the same, no two babies are the same, and no two goals are the same. So why is the internet filled with absolutes, black and white guidelines and 'you shoulds?' We seek to understand your individual needs, desires, goals and history so that we can come alongside you to support toward those unique goals. We won't give you one easy fix like many books claim they will do, but we will help you weed out the noise and encourage your specific journey that won't be like your neighbor's, sister's, friend's journey. We seek to quiet the fear-based approach of the medical world and instead remind you to reach into yourself for the confidence and instinct and trust of your body and your baby. We are also inclusive of all lifestyles and situations and support induced lactation goals, LGBTQIA unique needs, exclusive pumping goals and anything in between.
