Many women have questions about breastfeeding vs. bottle-feeding their baby.
La Leche League International was founded to give information and encouragement to all mothers who want to breastfeed. The mission of La Leche League is to help mothers worldwide breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information and education. They also work to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and mother.

Immunizations
Immunizations have been one of the single greatest advances in preventive medicine and an essential part of well-child care. Our practice follows the immunization guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

Car Seat Recommendations
As a parent, it is your job to protect your child when riding in a vehicle. Using car seats properly helps keep children safe. But with so many different types of car seats on the market, understanding how to use them correctly can be overwhelming for parents.
Child products, such as cribs and toys, are often recalled due to a defect or hazard. It’s important to pay close attention to recalled consumer goods to protect your child from dangerous items.
