Lactation Services: If you're experiencing difficulties with breastfeeding or are looking for lactation support, Central Maine Pediatrics is here for you with our in-house Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC). CLCs are members of the health care team who can provide knowledge and counseling about optimal and sub-optimal breastfeeding. CLCs understand that breastfeeding decisions are made by the mother, who may have values and goals different from the counselor. A counseling approach is used to gather information and provide appropriate support to the mother and her family. CLCs work as part of the health care team, assuring appropriate referrals and recommendations. CLCs are qualified to provide education, counseling and clinical management.

Initial newborn appointments are scheduled by the maternity unit. Anyone needing further appointments can call the Central Maine Pediatrics office at 207-795-5730 to schedule an appointment. This service is available to any CMMG patient.

Emergency and Hospital Care: We work closely with the inpatient pediatric hospitalists and neonatologists within CMMC. Our patients have access to a 24 hour emergency department within the facility.
