Prenatal/Newborn

When you choose a doctor at Willows to be your newborn’s pediatrician, you are joining a family. Our nurses, lactation specialists, physician assistants and receptionists work to provide the best care and pediatric experience possible. Within our office you will find a newborn support group, a dedicated area for lactation consultations, and CPR and first aid classes for parents, grandparents, nannies and babysitters.  All of our doctors have experience with multiples and infants born prematurely and can work with your neonatologist if needed.

Newborn Support Group

“It’s a Baby, Now What Do I Do?” is a support group for parents of newborns held every week. The group is a place to share concerns, questions, and experiences about newborns and infants up to three months of age. Laurie Rubel, APRN, IBCLC a certified lactation consultant leads the group. Parents learn from each other and exchange tips. Favorite topics include sleep, colic, infant crying, and feedings. Laurie also works with our nursing mothers on an individual basis.

The newborn group is a wonderful time to meet new parents. The group is a bonding experience; mothers (and fathers too!) often meet outside of class to socialize.

Meetings occur weekly on Tuesdays, the time and location are posted on our Instagram and Facebook the day before.  There is no charge and no appointment is necessary. Please bring your baby!
