Sebas 🦖

We want to deeply thank Sebas’s pediatrician for all the care and dedication she has had with our son. From the beginning, she has always been available for every emergency, giving us peace of mind and follow-up until Sebas is completely better. Something very special is that Sebas is not afraid of her, and that reflects the affection and trust she manages to convey to him. Additionally, she was the only doctor who managed to help us regulate his colic when he was a baby, after having been through two other pediatricians. For us, finding her has been a blessing, because we know that Sebas is in the best hands.

Baby Elena 👧

I was reflecting on how lucky we were with Elena that you are her pediatrician. Watching the videos that my husband and doula took at her birth, I saw how hard you worked so that Elena could have a good latch during her first feeding of the “golden hour”, and I’m infinitely grateful for that. Tomorrow we’ll be celebrating 7 months of breastfeeding 🫶🏻🧸 sending you a hug 🌷
