Each individual helps moms and babies accomplish a breastfeeding plan that works for them. We also offer virtual visits for your convenience and comfort, which have been invaluable resources to new moms in those early, sleepless days!
Transitioning to parenthood can be overwhelming. The fourth trimester is a unique period for mother and baby, and all breastfeeding mothers deserve an in-depth session with follow-ups as needed to optimize their health and the health of their infants. Dr. Lauren Macaluso and, as of May 2023, Dr. Lena Edelstein are honored to provide quality breastfeeding and lactation specialist medical care to breastfeeding families where their individual goals can be met.
How is a Breastfeeding Medicine Prenatal Consultation different from a breastfeeding class?
Prenatal breastfeeding classes are a great way to learn the basics of breastfeeding. However, they often provide general information that may not address your specific needs—and let’s face it, not everyone gets around to reading the textbook!
A Prenatal Breastfeeding Medicine Consultation is personalized to you. Your unique medical and pregnancy history can influence how your body produces milk, how your baby transitions after birth, and how breastfeeding unfolds in the early days. This one-on-one consultation takes your individual circumstances into account and helps you feel informed, confident, and fully prepared for your breastfeeding journey.
There will be plenty of time to have your individual questions answered. Most patients follow up in the office with their baby after delivery for a full evaluation, with care continuing throughout your lactation experience.
Initial visits usually last 1 hour and 15 minutes and cover:
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to reassess for improvement or for new breastfeeding concerns throughout your journey.

The breastfeeding specialists at Allied Physicians Group are committed to helping you nurture your baby with confidence.
