Providers:
New England Mothers First nurse practitioners are expertise in breast and infant feeding management. Born of the vision for a collaborative, referral-based service that would work specifically towards the betterment of nursing mothers, babies, and families. Cynthia A. Vella NP IBCLC ANLC was formed NEMF in 2014. The practice has evolved and expanded throughout the greater Boston area to the South Shore, now with six nurse practitioners. Beyond trouble shooting basic lactation problems, we work closely with Mothers, OB Providers, and the infant Pediatricians on a variety of issues affecting the nursing dyad of mothers and babies. From supporting first time mothers, to managing refractory breast candida, ankyloglossia, cow’s milk protein sensitivity, unexplained skin rashes, to inadequate milk supply secondary to maternal breast surgery, we are able to serve the problematic needs of all nursing mothers and their babies.
As medical providers, the nurse practitioners of New England Mothers First are able to provide insurance covered, 60-minute home and office visit appointments. We seek to work in conjunction with Obstetrical and Pediatric practices for the management of complex breast and infant feeding issues, as well as prenatal consultations for concerns at approximately 36 weeks.
For practices not already offering specific breast and infant supporting services within the practice:
For practices that already offer lactation services in office
We as a practice are dedicated to eliminating barriers to nursing Mothers wherever they exist. Our job is not to replace services already provided for mothers and families, rather we seek to work in harmony with all ranges of breast and infant feeding providers. Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of our nurse practitioners with questions regarding our expertise services.
