Hi there!

I’m Dr. Mona, I’m a Board Certified Pediatrician, IBCLC, and Mom.

When moms come to see me in my medical practice, they tend to have the same questions.

And the same worries.

How do I help my baby sleep at night? Do I have to help them?

I don’t know if I should breast or bottle feed? Or both?

Why is my toddler having so many tantrums? Is this normal?

I became a mom in 2019 to my son Ryaan and again in 2023 to my daughter Vera, and I experienced all the same thoughts and feelings many new moms do.

And it changed me as a doctor.

Now I know the real questions all moms have are:

How do I know if I'm making the right decisions for my child?

How do I know if I'm a good mom?

That’s why it’s my mission to share balanced, well-researched parenting advice to lessen those big worries and help moms find more joy in motherhood

First time – and more experienced – moms love the insights and advice I share as a pediatrician.

They love following along BTS as I navigate life as a first time mom.

I hope you will too.
