Lactation Package
Personalized Pediatrics of Maine supports each family’s decision of how to feed their baby — breast or bottle. However, there is an increasing need for time-sensitive, crucial support and education that comes with first time breastfeeding. As the only Pediatrician certified as a Lactation Counselor in southern Maine, I provide comprehensive care to the mother-child team to optimize breastfeeding success. Lactation support covers a wide range of topics and needs, from a prenatal consult to the development of a back-to-work plan for pumping, and everything in between. In addition, if a baby is functionally tongue-tied, I have the ability to perform a frenotomy in the office. Breastfeeding is a skill — it should not be a struggle.
