Breast milk is the most valuable source of nutrition, tailored to your baby's needs. I support breastfeeding by looking at the needs of mother and baby together.

Every child develops at their own pace. I assess growth and motor, language, cognitive and social milestones in a way that suits their age, and follow their development as a whole.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my newborn baby's first pediatric check-up be?
The first days after birth are important for the baby's feeding, weight change and jaundice, and for supporting the mother with baby care. The timing of the first check-up is planned according to the baby's gestational age at birth, discharge and needs. My own recommendation is to bring your baby for check-ups on days 3, 5, 7, 15, 21 and 28.
How often should I bring my healthy child to the pediatrician?
Pediatric check-ups are not only for times of illness. Well-child visits are planned so that growth, development, nutrition and vaccinations are reviewed regularly. Monthly follow-up is recommended in the first year.
Do you assess only the current complaint at the examination?
No. Alongside the child's current complaint, I care about assessing their growth, development, nutrition, sleep and daily life according to their age and needs.
How do you follow my baby's growth and development?
Along with growth measurements such as length, weight and head circumference, I assess age-appropriate developmental milestones and use developmental assessment tools when needed.
Do you offer guidance on starting solid foods?
Yes. Readiness for solids, starting foods in the right way, introducing allergens, textures and the move to regular meals are all assessed for each baby individually.
