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.
The Lactation Package is $500 and can be purchased as a life-changing gift to yourselves, or as gift from others. The Package includes one prenatal consult, and up to three visits after delivery. Four weeks of unlimited texting and phone support is available during work hours. Price includes the option of home visits, if desired, within a 30 minute radius of Portland.
