I love doing tummy time, but I also love talking about tummy time! Let's talk about it more in this video! 👶

I hear this comment, "I wish I had had something like this when I had a baby," frequently when I talk about my fourth trimester package.

This is not something many people know exists, but it is an option! Learn about it in this video, and contact me today at http://www.intouchpediatrics.com/ 💜

How is it that some parts of women's health are completely left out of medical school and residency curriculae? 😫 It's truly absurd. Breastfeeding, menopause, sexual health... It's really a travesty and it needs to change!

Does your baby grunt all night?

What the heck is going on?

Is he awake or asleep?

Is he hungry?

Is he in pain?

Is he trying to p**p?

This is a neurologic phase that babies go through. It is part of what we call "active sleep" - a period of lighter sleep that babies have that tends to be filled with grunting in some babies (not all). Though we all have active sleep and we don't all grunt, babies seem to be going through some sort of developmental/neurologic phase that is heavy on the grunting. But if they look like they're asleep, they're asleep! 😴

Though we are improving, there is still a huge dearth of support for breastfeeding people. 🤱🏽🤱🏿🤱🏼🧑🏽‍🍼🤱🏾🤱🤱🏻

I am honored to be part of a mission to provide better breastfeeding support through the advancement of Breastfeeding Medicine as a medical specialty. 👩🏻‍⚕️🤱🏽🩺💜

This is a common (and valid!) concern for breastfeeding parents. Luckily, we set things up to monitor a baby's weight closely in the first couple weeks to ensure they are eating enough. 🤱🏽🤱🏿🤱🏼🧑🏽‍🍼🤱🏾🤱🤱🏻

If your baby isn't gaining weight, or your pediatrician isn't sure whether it's a breastfeeding problem at hand or some other reason why there's a weight gain problem, contact a Breastfeeding Medicine physician to get help right away!

This is our final video in the Imposter Syndrome series. Imposter Syndrom as a mom in general. It really never ends, unfortunately 😖

We are always comparing ourselves with those around us, and this is even worse when we have pictures of perfect families doing everything perfectly on Social Media. I guarantee you, behind the scenes, they are struggling just like you. We are human. We will make mistakes.

We will have good days and bad days but that does not make us any less worthy or wonderful or any less "exactly what our kids need." 👊🏽👊🏻👊🏿👊👊🏾👊🏼

Have you or someone you love ever gotten bad health news from reading a report in your patient portal? 🤔 This is one of many ways that our current medical system is causing harm and not thinking about the realities and importance of the doctor-patient relationship.

Your baby is so cute I could just eat 'em up!

Familiar sentiment?

Did you know there's actually a NAME for this phenomenon? Check this out 👌🏼

And make sure to eat a baby today 😆

Let's talk about Imposter Syndrome in those first few days after having a baby. It's for real!

You are never an imposter, and it's important to make sure you're surrounded by people who will support you without judgment during this time when it's so easy to feel like you're doing everything wrong.

Hang in there, mama! You've got this! ❤️🎉

I'm sorry, but insurance companies, by and large, are not trying to help you get good healthcare 😧

They are trying to make as much money as they can. One way they do this is via blanket denials, likely hoping that patients just won't appeal and they won't have to pay. This infuriates me. If someone is paying for insurance and is owed some sort of coverage, then it should be paid.

Check out the multiple ProPublica articles on this very topic. It's appalling. 😖

Here's a different way to look at the freezer stash conundrum. Most people don't need one! 🧊🍼
