Lactation Support for Newborns, Infants, and Families
Feed Well Co. Lactation + Infant Feeding
Columbia, MD · feedwellco.com · (202) 883-8462
Feed Well Co. is a lactation and infant feeding practice offering lactation support for newborns, founded by Brittany Hunt, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over a decade of experience supporting families. They offer in-office visits in Columbia, MD, and virtual consultations worldwide — with a philosophy built around guilt-free, sustainable feeding support for every kind of family.
Feeding a newborn is one of those things that looks simple from the outside and feels anything but once you’re actually doing it at 2 a.m. Latch issues, supply concerns, a baby who won’t take a bottle, a parent who isn’t sure their pump is working — these challenges are common, they’re real, and they’re exactly what a skilled lactation consultant is trained to help with.
If feeding feels hard right now, that’s not a sign that something is wrong with you. It’s a sign you might need more support than most people think to offer.
Why Feeding Support Makes a Difference
Families who have access to skilled lactation support tend to navigate the feeding learning curve with significantly less anxiety and more confidence. But lactation consultants aren’t only for breastfeeding families. A good feeding specialist supports bottle feeding, combination feeding, and any situation where a family wants real, personalized guidance on how to feed their baby well.
The keyword is personalized. The best feeding support isn’t about what you “should” be doing — it’s about figuring out what actually works for your baby, your body, and your life. That distinction matters a lot, especially when you’re exhausted and getting conflicting advice from every direction.
What Feed Well Co. Offers
Feed Well Co. was built around the idea that all families deserve to be well supported — and their service menu reflects that. Whether you’re dealing with a complex feeding challenge or just have questions you can’t find a straight answer to, they’re equipped to help. Services include:
- In-office lactation consultations in Columbia, MD (Monday–Friday)
- Virtual visits for families anywhere in the world
- Pumping guidance and flange fitting — one of the most commonly overlooked sources of supply and comfort issues
- Support for tongue and lip ties, bottle refusal, breast refusal, mastitis, clogged ducts, and going back to work
- Feeding supplies available for same-day pickup at their Columbia office
- Insurance billing through The Lactation Network for Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, and United Healthcare PPO plans
That last point is worth highlighting: if you have one of those insurance plans, your visit may be fully covered. It’s worth checking before you assume feeding support isn’t in your budget.
Meet Brittany Hunt, IBCLC
Feed Well Co. was founded by Brittany Hunt, an IBCLC who has been working with breastfeeding and feeding families for over ten years. Her approach is direct, warm, and notably free of judgment — which is exactly what families need when they’re in the thick of early feeding challenges and feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information.
Brittany works with families on everything from general newborn feeding questions to complex challenges, and her practice is designed to meet families where they are — whether that’s in her Columbia office or through a screen anywhere in the world.
How Feeding Support Fits Into the Bigger Picture
Feeding support works best when it’s part of a connected care plan. When guidance from a lactation consultant is reinforced by consistent overnight care — someone tracking feeding logs, monitoring patterns, and handling early-morning feeds so a parent can actually sleep — the whole system works better. Parents who are rested make better feeding decisions. Babies who are fed consistently sleep more predictably. It all connects.
At Hush Hush Little Baby, our newborn care specialists and postpartum support team work alongside feeding professionals like the team at Feed Well Co. to ensure the work that starts in the office or on a video call holds up through the night and into the next day.
