About Us Welcome to the Mother & Child Website and please allow me to introduce, Kathleen Todd-Seymour, the founder and director of Mother & Child Postpartum Care. Kathleen has spent more than the last twenty-five years nurturing and supporting families in the Boston and Metro-West area. In her role as a Pediatric Registered Nurse, Kathleen would assist families as they were discharged from the local Neonatal Intensive Care Unit’s and transition home with their medically fragile newborns. Kathleen remains an active pediatric RN for the MA Health Pediatric Program. In 2002, Kathleen established Mother & Child, LLC for the private in-home support of new families during their pregnancy and postpartum period. In order to offer the most professional care Kathleen has worked to expand her newborn specialty. After completing her studies with CAPPA, she became a practicing Certified Childbirth Educator offering group and private childbirth classes. Kathleen has also completed the studies and 2500 hours of caring for breastfeeding mothers in order to become an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant available for private consults and teaching classes. She remains affiliated with The Happiest Baby on the Block Organization, teaching families the secrets to calming their newborns. Kathleen continues to have the pleasure of working with Isis Maternity of Needham, where she has been a Great Beginnings New Moms Group facilitator for the past several years. She also teaches weekly at Visitation House of Worcester, a shelter for women in crisis pregnancies. Kathleen has worked with the CAPPA organization as the MA Lactation Educator Trainer, the BACE organization as a Nursing Mother’s Councilor for phone triage, and the American Heart Association as an Infant and Child CPR Instructor. Kathleen stays current in all of her areas of practice, with up-to-date research, professional conferences and continuous hands-on caring of newborns. Fine tuning their feeding and sleep schedules as families transition thru their “fourth trimester”. Kathleen is the proud mother of three teen children that she is raising with her husband in the Northboro community. Here in Northboro and the surrounding towns, she actively participates in community service with her children by her side. Contact Mother & Child to schedule a postpartum week with Kathleen, as she brings her class program “Newborns A-thru-Z “ to you and your family, one-on-one, in the privacy of your home.
