  • 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.

  • Love the sensory processing episode

    I just listened to the episode about Sensory processing differences with the OT butterfly! So much of it resonated with my two kids. They both have different sensory needs and hearing some examples made me more aware of those. So helpful to know when to seek more support and what strategies to use at home prior to this. Thanks for having another awesome guest on!
