About Me

Hi, I’m Christine Pfundstein, a Board Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) passionate about helping children and families feel supported and cared for from the very beginning. I have experience in Pediatric Primary & Urgent Care, Private and Hospital-based lactation, Labor & Delivery, High Risk Antepartum, Postpartum, & Newborn Nursery, not to mention my most important job of being a mom to two amazing children who have taught me the real life parenting challenges we all face.  

​​

In a world where healthcare can feel rushed, I believe in the impact of slowing down — taking time to truly listen, educate, and connect with my patients and their families.

​

My practice is built on a simple philosophy: quality over quantity. Every family deserves individualized attention, thoughtful care, and the confidence that their health and wellness concerns matter.

​

With years of experience in pediatrics and infant feeding, I strive to create a space where parents feel supported, understood, heard, and empowered — whether it’s a newborn learning to latch, a toddler meeting milestones, or a family navigating the changes and choices faced during adolescence.

​

My goal is to make every visit personal, meaningful, and rooted in compassion and evidence-based care. Because quality care takes time — and your family deserves nothing less.

Upon first meeting Christine I knew our family was in good hands. As a first time mom, I felt a lot of pressure to breastfeed, but received little help in the hospital resulting in a poor latch, tired baby, and excruciatingly painful nursing sessions. Christine took away the pressure of breastfeeding and gave me the reassurance and support I needed both physically and emotionally. She took the time to learn about our baby, our family structure and breastfeeding goals, all while reassuring me. With Christine’s support, we worked on a proper (and painless latch) and we were able to shamelessly supplement with formula if needed until we had a “stash” of frozen milk. One of the best parts was Christine teaching my husband how to help and be apart of feeds. We owe our breastfeeding journey to Christine’s supportive, humorous and “real-life” style of fourth trimester support. Highly recommend to all parents! ~KL
