Mother Baby Clinic

Bridging the gap between home and your pediatrician

Our mother baby clinic offers breastfeeding consultations and specialized newborn care to fully prepare you for your delivery and life as a new parent. We are dedicated to equipping you with the tools for an empowered pregnancy and smooth transition into parenthood.

Continued Support and Services for Your Newborn

The mother baby clinic provides a wide range of outpatient services to ensure you and your newborn receive the care and guidance you need.

Our expert team offers:

• Jaundice management: Defined as a yellow discoloration of the skin and eyes, jaundice is very common in newborns, due to an excess of bilirubin in the blood. Our clinic offers simple, quick access for pain-free jaundice checks, using a meter that measures levels in the skin.
• Weight monitoring: Caring for a newborn that is losing weight or slow to gain weight can be difficult. Help your baby gain weight properly with expert breastfeeding evaluations, weighted feedings, individualized feeding plans, and in-clinic follow-ups as needed to ensure your baby is gaining weight properly.
• Circumcision: If your baby was unable to undergo circumcision at the time of birth, our board-certified neonatologists can perform a circumcision as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. This is for babies younger than three months.
• Frenotomy: Sometimes, the small fold of tissue under the tongue, known as the frenulum, can be unusually short or tight, causing a condition called "tongue-tied." A procedure called frenotomy can be performed to cut the frenulum and improve tongue movement.
