Breastfeeding support services
Hi, my name is Debbie Pollesch and I am the owner & operator of Within A Mother's Arms. My professional background is that of a registered nurse with Mom/Baby, LDRP & clinic pediatric experience over 22 years; as well as practicing as an IBCLC from 2004-2019 and continuing to provide breastfeeding and postpartum care as an RN/CLC.
I have been a nurse since 1994 and began working with new families as a mom/baby nurse in 1996. I quickly realized the many struggles faced by new moms when learning to breastfeed. Wanting to be good at my job, I furthered my education in the area of breastfeeding and became a lactation educator. In this role, I continued as a staff nurse
I have been a nurse since 1994 and began working with new families as a mom/baby nurse in 1996. I quickly realized the many struggles faced by new moms when learning to breastfeed. Wanting to be good at my job, I furthered my education in the area of breastfeeding and became a lactation educator. In this role, I continued as a staff nurse but also taught breastfeeding and childbirth classes as well as filled in for the lactation consultants in the hospital. I continued to develop a passion for breastfeeding and became certified by the International Lactation Consultants Association. I left the hospital setting in 2007 to pursue growing my business as a private lactation consultant after starting Within A Mother's Arms in 2005. Personally, I am married and have 4 adult children.
Within A Mother's Arms provides the professional and personal help that is often needed to get breastfeeding & parenting started off right. Whether you need a coach, a cheerleader, a teacher or a guidance counselor to assist you with breastfeeding and the early weeks home; I am here for you.

My personal philosophy on breastfeeding is ~ some is better than none. Breastfeeding is personal and individual. Enforcing some preconceived ideas on what ideal breastfeeding should look like, on every mom, usually does not work. I love helping moms succeed in their breastfeeding goals, whatever they may be, because it empowers the new mom.
I consider it a blessing and privilege to be part of this time in a family's life.
