Or you’ve wished that you had a “pediatrician-mom-friend” with answers you knew you could trust.

You’re in the right place.

HAVING CHILDREN completely changed my approach to Pediatric Medicine.

As a board-certified pediatrician, I began my parenting journey with a “one size fits all” approach. Then I became a parent. As I tried to navigate feeding and reflux, sleep training and solids, tantrums and school dynamics, it became clear: parenting is just… not so black-and-white.

And I realized: there should be a guide for this!

So I created The Pediatrician Mom. You can use this site to find some peace, some answers, and hopefully some confidence to trust your gut as a parent, so you can make not just the right decision, but the right decision for your child.

My Approach

  • Trustworthy

    You are wise enough to know that google can be scary and inaccurate. The information here is evidence-based and reliable so you feel equipped to figure out what is right for your child.

  • Clear

    The guides give you actionable, practical tips - written clearly and simply - so you can find what you need - when you need it.

  • Compassionate

    This is a judgment-free zone, and the information is presented gently and kindly, mom to mom.
