Newborn Care & Breastfeeding Support

​

At Frederick County Pediatrics, we know that the newborn stage is both incredibly special and sometimes overwhelming. That’s why one of the core pillars of our mission is to support you as you navigate early parenthood with confidence.

​

We’re passionate about helping you give your baby the best start through optimal nutrition. Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula-feeding, or exploring a combination of both, our team is here to support your choices with compassion and up-to-date medical guidance.

​

Our office includes a private, cozy newborn room designed just for families during those early visits. It offers a quiet, comfortable space for nursing or bottle-feeding, diaper changes, or simply taking a moment to breathe.

​

We’re proud to provide comprehensive lactation support right in our practice. Our breastfeeding counselors are trained to assist with common challenges, from latching and milk supply to pumping and bottle introduction. This care is seamlessly integrated with your baby’s medical visits, making your appointments more efficient and supportive.

​

Need a little more hands-on help? We’re happy to connect you with trusted International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) who offer home visits for personalized, in-depth assistance.

​

Above all, we strive to create a nurturing environment where all parents feel safe, respected, and empowered.
