About Polly
Polly Gannon — also known as “the baby whisperer” by families and pediatricians — is one of the most requested newborn care specialists and lactation educators in Los Angeles.
With over 30 years of experience working in families’ homes, pediatric offices, hospitals, and even the NICU, Polly has a wealth of experience, knowledge, advice, and support for parents of newborns, infants, and toddlers — about all things related to feeding, sleeping, care, and behavior.
She has years of experience teaching classes in labor and delivery, mommy and me, newborn care, and lactation. In addition, Polly helps parents through pregnancy, surrogacy, and adoption — from infancy through the first five years of life.
Polly is certified by the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA) as a Trained Parent Educator and by The Academy of Certified Birth Educators (ACBE) as a Lactation and Childbirth Educator. She is also certified in Infant Massage and Going Green for Newborns/Infants (Safe Organic Brands).
She is a proud mom of five children — three daughters and two sons — as well as a grandmother of two grandsons.
