Can you be my baby's PCP?
No! In order to focus on the first days, the breastfeeding relationship, and the parent's lactation journey, Woven Pediatrics is not able to provide primary care. (This has changed over the years. As of 2025: no primary care.)
How is this different than hiring and IBCLC?
IBCLCs are allied health providers, and they provide wonderful counseling services. They can not evaluate, diagnose or treat medical conditions.
​
Physician level lactation care might not be necessary for everyone, but is available here at Woven Pediatrics for anyone who needs it. If your heart were not working or painful, you would see a doctor. Same with your boobs, please!
What is "holding space?"
It's physical space, time and listening. "Regular" pediatrics does not hold space because the system does not support it. (Appointments are booked for TEN MINUTES!) Woven Pediatrics is a great place for deep conversations on feeding, sleep and parenting. Most appointments here are 90 minutes.
I don't have MyChart. How do I schedule?
Call me! 303-993-7976. Leave a message - I'll be in touch to get you scheduled.
How do I set myself up for breastfeeding success?
Take a prenatal breastfeeding class. Click the link on the left for some great advice at Droplet - the videos are excellent.
​
Parents with specific questions about their own medical conditions or a expecting a baby with a medical condition should schedule a prenatal consult.
​
Please put your baby skin-to-skin and feed in the first hour of life. Baby friendly hospitals will facilitate this. The Golden Hour can make all the difference.
​
Get help in the first few days of life. Woven Pediatrics would love to meet you and your baby/babies.
Do you do home visits?
No. I have a welcoming office that feels like home. There are no distractions, and that is the best way to learn breastfeeding. I stock all kinds of helpful tools (very precise baby scales, supplementers, pump, and more) to get your baby nursing!
Will you bill my insurance?
Yes, both the chest-feeding parent and the baby will be seen as patients at most visits, and I will collect insurance information from both. Your individual plan will determine what is your copay and what is covered. Click the link on the left for more info.
Is your office Baby Friendly?
Yes! Of course! I try to have donor milk on hand at all times, thanks to the Mother's Milk Bank. We'll talk about formula and pacifiers and when to use them. I do have formula in my office, but I bought all of it. No formula companies are allowed to give me freebies!
My baby is in the NICU, when can you see us?
Now and after discharge! Moms are welcome to schedule while there baby is still admitted - we'll work on your milk supply and strategies for latching when the baby is ready. Premies can learn to breastfeed as they get closer to their due date. Woven Pediatrics or the NICU staff can help you collect milk to feed your baby. There will be a lot of pumping in the beginning, but hopefully you and your baby can go on to nurse for a long time.
I'm a trans-mom, can you help me?
I hope so! Please call! Click the link on the left for info on Inclusion.
Can you reconcile breastfeeding and feminism?
Hmmm... Good question. It's one I think about a lot - obviously, I made up these questions!! Choice is super important. I am 100% supportive of any woman who does not want to breastfeed. But I'm 100% supportive of anybody who wants to breastfeed, and I'm here to help. Your body was meant to breastfed - you should have medical support if your body is not working properly.
Are there pictures of cows in your office?
Just one. It's on a pillow. Couldn't resist.
