  • Birth Trauma Episode

    Thank you for this episode and for sharing your experience. I went through birth trauma and then a month after birth, we found out our child had heart defects and needed open heart surgery at 3 months old. The “I’m so grateful that he was crying”, and your gratitude, resonated with me SO much. Motherhood really helps put things into perspective! It’s still a painful experience for me to talk about, but I know that I can use the experience to connect with others and that’s pretty special.

  • Not jealous of Hilary

    I recently started listening to this podcast. I like that it’s easy to listen to in the background while I’m doing other things. However, as someone (me) who is skeptical of vaccine safety, it concerns me that someone who is pro vaccine (Dr Peds) also thinks that the reason Hillary Clinton did not win is because women are jealous of her. It makes me question her logic overall.

  • Not backed by actual evidence and or the reality of triple feeding

    In this episode they talk about triple feeding as if it is this horrible thing. It does not have to be. At one point she says pumping takes 45 minutes, which it doesn’t! Never should it! And then, in another part of the episode she says it takes an hour if you include washing. True triple feeding, which you do not have to do at every feeding should take an hour max. The point is to practice breastfeeding if that’s your goal, paced bottle feed and protect your milk supply. It is a temporary plan ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Follow-Up: Why Independent Play Matters
Q: What practical steps can parents take to build independent play into daily routines?
Set a clear boundary, communicate what you'll be doing, start with five minutes, use a visual timer so the child can see the time, and gradually increase the duration as the child becomes more capable.
The Follow-Up: Why Independent Play Matters
Q: Starting off with these misconceptions, what would you say is one you want to squash first?
The biggest misconception is that you must entertain your child all day; play is a natural part of development, but parents don't need to be constantly running the show and can instead let children play independently while the parent handles other responsibilities.
Surrogacy Explained, Facts, Feelings, and Family Building
Q: What are the main differences between traditional surrogacy and gestational surrogacy, and why is terminology important?
Gestational surrogacy involves no genetic link between the carrier and the baby, while traditional surrogacy does; terminology matters to honor the intended parents' relationship to the child and avoid implying misconceived genetic ties.
Olympic Champion Elana Meyers Taylor on Winning a Gold Medal, Motherhood and the Power of a Village
Q: Have you ever watched someone achieve something incredible and thought, how do they do it all? How does someone compete at the highest level in the world, stand on an Olympic podium, and also show up as a parent, including a parent raising two children with disabilities?
Elana discusses how she relies on a strong village, planning with her husband, and a mindset that emphasizes balance and long-term goals rather than chasing every single race.
The Follow-Up: Dr. Mona on Charting Pediatrics Podcast
Q: How can clinicians use AI and digital tools in everyday practice without compromising care?
Use AI to augment conversations, provide personalized resources, and support follow-up, while maintaining the human connection at the center of care.
