Our Services

Well Child Visits

At Cradle Thru College Care, we know you want the best care for your child from day one. When you take your newborn to see the doctor, it plays a crucial role in ensuring your child's well-being. Routine well child visits are essential as they monitor your little one's growth and development, ensuring they are on the right track. They also provide an opportunity for you to ask any questions or voice any concerns you might have about your baby's health and care. Whether it's about feeding, sleeping patterns, or vaccinations, these appointments allow you to gain valuable insights and reassurance from our doctors, helping you navigate the early stages of parenthood with confidence.

Lactation Consultation

Breastfeeding offers vital nutrition from birth to beyond. Like mastering any new skill, many new moms, babies (and dads!) need guidance and encouragement during this phase. At Cradle Thru College Care, we're committed to supporting your breastfeeding journey. Providing breastmilk to your baby is a precious gift of lifelong health. We respect your feeding choices but recommend exclusive breastfeeding or solely breastmilk for the first four months, followed by a mix of breastfeeding and solid foods until your baby turns one. At our practice, we adore babies and take joy in assisting families with breastfeeding. Whether you prefer minimal or extensive help, we offer in-office lactation consultations for support and are just a call away for any queries along your breastfeeding path.

Breastfeeding Resources

Our breastfeeding resources provide comprehensive guidance on essential topics to support nursing mothers. We cover detailed breastfeeding records for the baby's first week, helping you track feeding times and milk intake. You'll find expert advice on caring for your breasts, including tips to prevent soreness and maintain breast health. For those new to breastfeeding, we offer step-by-step guidance on how to get started, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience for both mother and baby. Additionally, we include information on collecting and storing breast milk safely, with storage guidelines to maintain milk quality. Our resources ensure your baby gets enough milk by explaining signs to watch for and effective feeding techniques. We also provide information about the importance of vitamins and water in a nursing mother's diet, contributing to both your wellbeing and that of your baby. For nursing mothers who are unwell and need to take medications, we offer guidance on safe practices to ensure your and your baby's health during recovery.
