Lactation

At Willows Pediatrics, we will support you in feeding your newborn no matter what method you choose. We will support you in breast or formula feeding, whatever works for your family and baby.

We have lactation support services available at our office to help mothers who choose to breastfeed. Our typical initial lactation visits are an initial weight check, an in-depth look at the baby’s latch, an observed and supported feed and a re-assessment of weight after feeding to measure how much milk was transferred. Laurie is also available for visits or discussions with mothers about returning to work, pumping and to troubleshoot issues along the way.

Since there is no one right way to feed a baby, we also support families in finding the right formula for their baby. Just ask your provider at your prenatal consultation or any of your newborn visits.
