We are excited to start offering lactation support in our office! Our Nurse Practitioner Stephanie Lubin-Levy recently became a certified breastfeeding specialist. If you’d like help initiating breastfeeding, encouraging a comfortable latch, boosting supply, weaning, or with anything else related to breastfeeding, please talk with your pediatrician about booking a lactation consultation visit.
