  • Appreciate a different perspective

    I am grateful for the ability to hear the AAP’s thoughts on various topics. Not a fan of the phrase “pregnant people”… when I’m looking for information regarding health I’m looking for facts.

    It was a little sketchy to hear a rsv add in the middle of the vaccine episode but I understand because the major vaccine companies do sponsor the AAP.

    I appreciate their nonjudgmental approach and their encouragement to reach out to my pediatrician and not fear fact.

  • The frequency of the phrase "as a mom" and the focus on moms is jarring. Let's try to involve fathers in the learning process for child care, so that as a society everyone feels included, and therefore expected to participate.

  • Confusion

    I enjoyed this podcast until the episode about educating about puberty, which is so very important. The host was talking about girls and menstruation, but then changed the verbiage to people who have a menstrual cycle. I can no longer trust this podcast to give me biologically accurate information if the host cannot differentiate which sex has a menstrual cycle.
