I believe Betsy was referring to Dr. Margaret McLaren, who also gave a talk on Breastfeeding and Maternal Methadone or Substance Abuse: Promoting health and Recovery for ACTLC, Connecticut's local ILCA affiliate. Dr. McLaren is Director of Well Newborn Services & PROkids Intervention Program at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, Hartford, Connecticut. She just was named a Harris Mid-Career Fellow by Leaders for the 21st Century, a Program for fellows at Zero to Three. In response to the need for services for newborns affected by maternal substance use and their caregivers, she founded PROkids (Promoting Resilience and Optimal development) within the Primary Care Center in 1991. This intervention combines a medical home with family development and home visitation. Margaret’s major interests are enhancement of infant mental health and attachment in high-risk mother-infant dyads. As part of this intervention, Dr. McLaren promotes breastfeeding and skin to skin contact when possible.
