A massively overlooked part of health care: the 4th Trimester. Once the baby comes, who takes care of mom? Her mental health? Her breastfeeding journey? Woven Pediatrics provides care for mom during this tender term. And provides expert, tenured care for the baby too. The way it should be.
Health of the baby is first and foremost at Woven Pediatrics. Dr. Stephanie has over 15 years of experience as a pediatrician. Well care and sick visits are available for the first 60 days of a baby's life.
Who was the birth parent before? Tell me! BUT, let's also manage everyone's expectations about "bouncing back" to that same person. Moms are different than they were - it's a MAJOR transition.
Every breastfeeding dyad is going to need help. There is lactation in the first hour after birth. There is lactation as milk starts to come in. Then there is lactation at 2 weeks and beyond. Get help at every stage.
Sleep is so important for recovery and growth, and for sound mental health. But how does anyone sleep with a newborn? 4th Trimester care acknowledges how difficult this can be.
Group Support has is proven to help new moms with lactation and mood. Even though your friends and family and millions of others have welcomed babies, it can still be lonely. Come chat with other new families!
Woven pediatric newborn visits are scheduled for 90 minutes. You need at LEAST that much time to evaluate baby, talk to the birthing parent and observe a feeding. (Though a "regular pediatrician" sees patients in 20 - 30 minutes.)
3-5 day visit
The day after discharge, the dyad should be seen for a first check-up and a lactation consult.
5-7 day visit
You're back! Let's see how breastfeeding is going now that mom's milk is in.
2 week visit
Weight checks and the newborn screen. Usually, every one is pretty tired at this point.
1 month visit
Hopefully everyone is finding their groove. Bottles, routines, sleep - let's talk about the future.
Groups
Community support along the way.
2 months of care. In order directly focus on the new life and the new breastfeeding relationship, Woven Pediatrics requires families to transition to a new pediatrician after 60 days.
