Supporting Pediatricians in Managing Pregnancy and Lactation Exposure Risks
As a pediatrician, you are on the front lines of questions that anxious parents may ask about the impact of pre- and postnatal environmental exposures on infant and child health and development. Examples of such exposures could include but are not limited to medications that a pregnant or breastfeeding woman may need to take, foods or beverages she consumes, infections a mom may contract, or vaccines she may need to receive. MotherToBaby is dedicated to evaluating the safety/risk of these exposures during pregnancy and lactation, and our experts are at your disposal.
We specialize in evaluating teratogenic risks associated with maternal, household, and environmental exposures, including but not limited to medications, vaccines, substances of use, maternal health conditions and infections, workplace exposures, and much more. We provide no-cost, evidence-based information in a patient-friendly manner that will help you and your patient make informed decisions for the health of both mom and baby during pregnancy or lactation.
Although clinicians who care for pregnant women play a very important role in the effort to prevent congenital malformations, pediatricians also can contribute to the preventive effort and counseling of families in their practices who have a child born with a congenital malformation.
