Erin Cleary

MD, FACOG

Dr. Cleary joined the faculty at Indiana University in 2022, in the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, happy to call Indiana home again after completing her undergraduate degree at Notre Dame.  She is originally from Cincinnati, but traveled south for medical school at Tulane, and was in Ohio for both OBGYN residency at TriHealth and MFM fellowship at The Ohio State University.

​

As a physician specializing in high-risk pregnancies, Dr. Cleary knows first hand that many families spend some or all of a pregnancy thinking about how maternal or fetal diagnoses impact both mother and baby.  She also knows that for others, pregnancy was low-risk until it unexpectedly wasn’t anymore.  She is passionate about assisting families with high-risk pregnancies reach their breastfeeding goals, and knows that a strong start can make all the difference.  

​

Dr. Cleary has developed the Prepared to Feed lactation class along with Dr. Dornfeld and Dr. Moore, and her work is supported by a grant from the IU School of Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.  Most of her direct patient care for lactation is with families navigating a NICU stay for their baby or babies.  In addition to breastfeeding, Dr. Cleary has research and clinical interests in diabetes in pregnancy, obstetric emergency readiness in rural emergency rooms, and optimizing system level care in obstetrics.

​

Dr. Cleary and her husband are proud parents to their three kids, who are constantly learning new things and exploring all Indianapolis has to offer.

Lindsay Moore

MD, IBCLC

Dr. Moore attended Indiana University School of Medicine for both medical school and residency. She is dual board-certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics — meaning she's a fully trained internist who cares for adults (annual physicals, chronic disease management, women's health, preventive care) as well as a board-certified pediatrician. Her additional IBCLC certification adds expert breastfeeding medicine care for new mothers and infants. 

​

Dr. Moore practices as a primary care doctor with FreedomDoc Westfield. She offers lactation consults prenatally, as well as postpartum/postnatal specialized lactation care visits, especially for complex maternal and baby care.  

​

Dr. Cleary loves to quote Dr. Moore, who once said “most breastfeeding problems are predictable, preventable, and easily treatable, if seen by an expert breastfeeding clinician in a timely manner.”

When not caring for patients, Dr. Moore stays busy spending time with her husband and children. 

Amanda Dornfield

MD, NaBBLM-C, IBCLC

Dr Dornfeld is a life-long Indiana resident. After completing medical school at Stritch School of Medicine of Loyola Chicago, Dr. Dornfeld, moved to Muncie, Indiana to complete residency training.

She and her family chose to settle in Columbus immediately after her residency where she practiced full-spectrum family medicine for 13 years, caring for patients in the hospital, in the office, and delivering babies. In 2020 she and her family moved to Whitianga, New Zealand for an ex-pat experience where she worked as a (very rural) GP doctor.

​

Dr Dornfeld has been practicing breastfeeding medicine since 2011 when she was certified as an IBCLC.   She opened Sage Breastfeeding Medicine in Columbus, Indiana in 2021 where she sees moms and babies in private consultation.   In 2023, she became one of the first 250 physicians in the country certified by the North American Board of Breastfeeding and Lactation Medicine.  

​

She and her husband, David, keep busy with their three nearly-grown kids.  They are proud Purdue parents.
