➡️ I changed my mind ⬅️

That’s not something I say often when it comes to children’s health.

As a pediatric naturopathic doctor specializing in homeopathy and natural remedies, I used to believe that babies should wait until they are 6 months old to start taking probiotics.

My thinking was that it would give the gut more time to mature and rely on the mother’s breastmilk or formula to deliver the baby’s needs.

💗But, I have changed my mind.

Thanks to new technology, we can now test even the youngest babies for their gut microbiome.

And, even with a healthy diet, lifestyle, and unmedicated birth, my own baby still tested low in certain species, making her susceptible to eczema and allergies.
💗
This realization (along with all the other test results I saw from hundreds of babies) made me understand that every baby can benefit from probiotics, regardless of the mother’s diet or lifestyle.

➡️I now recommend that every infant start taking an infant-specific probiotic, even if it’s not every single day.

Starting with once a week can give your baby a better chance at optimal health as she grows.

**BUT EVEN BETTER! If you can afford it…. I recommend testing their stool to find out your child’s exact needs! Check out .health and use code ELANA20 for $20 off a kit.

As a mom, I understand the importance of giving your child the best chance at optimal health. For infant probiotics, always look for specific species for the infant microbiome like Bifidobacterium infantis.

I love sharing my favorite products with you so you can feel confident as a Doctor Mom! I’m now a believer that probiotics, starting in infants, can play an important role in that journey.

Can I be honest?
➡️I NEVER wanted to be the naturopathic doctor to educate about 💉s.

Do you know HOW censored we are?

Do you know HOW MUCH risk we take doing this work?

Do you notice HOW MANY DISRESPECTFUL comments and messages we get from people who see vaccines as black or white?!

Lately, we’ve received a wave of strong opinions... some even crossing the line into hurtful comments. 💔

We understand that this is an emotional topic, and people feel passionately on both sides. But here’s the truth: we are NOT here to tell parents what to do.

Our only mission is to dive deep into the research so that families have ALL the information they need to make the best decisions for THEIR children.

💡 And just to be clear. We are Naturopathic Doctors (NDs), not MDs… and we are proud of it! We have the time to educate, inform, and empower parents to make thoughtful, informed choices for their families.

It takes thick skin to continue this work, but we feel deeply called to help. And we’re so grateful for this community that values education, respect, and empowered decision-making. 💛

Here is the real truth:

➡️I can’t NOT educate when I see a NEED, especially around something that creates SO MUCH ANXIETY in parents.

❤️My research started when I was pregnant with my first child and had to start making these choices for my own family.

➡️I felt OVERWHELMED, CONFUSED, and SCARED. I imagined there were thousands of parents feeling these same feelings.

Then I found out that .aricalhoun was feeling the same way, so we dove into the research, and boy, it was FAR FROM EASY to navigate.

⭐One of our gifts is to take complex medical information and make it easy to digest for anyone to understand

We wanted to make things SIMPLE and CLEAR to understand.

We want AS MANY parents to access this education as possible!

it is not uncommon for littles to not sleep all night, every night!!

➡️You are far from alone.

Here is something that has significantly helped me, and I hope it can now help you, too:

👎🏻 BEFORE butter before bed...
➡️I was waking between 6-11 times a night to nurse my then 12-month-old son. This was going on for a few months, and I finally had it. Both of our sleep was disturbed, and I needed help! I considered doing the cry-it-out method, but I just had a GUT INSTINCT not to do it!

I REALLY felt he was hungry, so I upped his calories before bed, and BAM... we both SLEPT!! Ahhhh, I want every mom to get a good night’s sleep!

Swipe through for answers to common questions about this.

🧈Hope this helps!! Please share in the comments below if this has helped you so far! Love sharing tips with you mamas!!

Share this with your mama friends. Especially this summer, with traveling and visiting friends and family, I know how much the change in routine can affect sleep!

& how I supported her through it…

I have NEVER had to give any of my 4 children antibiotics… until this moment.

After a few days of ups and downs, I confirmed it: Adena had a UTI.

A UTI with fever can spread quickly to the kidneys and cause permanent damage. In that situation, antibiotics aren’t optional, they’re protective. We don’t wait.

And I’ll be honest… I don't like using antibiotics. I know it has side effects. But, there is a time and place for all types of medicines.

But here’s the truth I had to remind myself of:

Being a Doctor Mom isn’t about avoiding conventional medicine at all costs.

It’s about discernment.
It’s about knowing when to pivot.
It’s about using ALL of our tools, natural & conventional, when our child needs them.

After this reel went viral, my inbox filled with messages from moms saying things like:

“I know my child needs antibiotics… but I’m terrified I’m going to ruin their gut.”
“I’m scared I’ll mess something up long-term.”
“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do after we start them.”

And honestly? That’s exactly why I created my brand new Antibiotic & Gut Support Guide.

Not as a “should we or shouldn’t we” resource, but as a “what now?” resource.

It’s a simple cheat sheet to help you support your child’s gut during antibiotics and rebuild after, without spiraling or overthinking every move.

If you’re walking this road right now, please hear me:
You are not failing.
You are not doing it wrong.
You are a good mom.

The guide is included as a free bonus for everyone who joins the Doctor Mom Membership during this sale (and yes, existing members get it too).

Comment DMSALE to grab it and join us inside the membership for less than $20!

You’re allowed to protect your child and support their body at the same time. Both can be true. 💛

Most of us get told “your kid is just a bad sleeper”… and we carry the guilt, the exhaustion, and the endless trial and error.

But sometimes it is not a willpower problem or a bedtime routine problem.

Sometimes it is a breathing problem.

If your child has any of these, I want you to take a second look with fresh eyes

1. Mouth breathing day or night
2. Snoring or noisy sleep
3. Teeth grinding
4. Crowding early
5. Waking up tired even after a full night

Airway health can impact sleep quality, growth, and even behavior in ways that are so easy to miss when you are in the thick of motherhood.

That is why I am hosting a live workshop with .norazaghi inside the Doctor Mom Membership.

You’ll learn SOLUTIONS to these airway issues! You have options, Mama!

Workshop details:
March 6th at 9:30am PST
Bring your questions
Recorded if you cannot make it live

This workshop is free for members, and you can join now during the sale so you do not miss it.
Comment DMSALE and I will send you the join link plus the sale details.

This is a question I hear all the time… usually from parents who want this kind of care, but feel stuck when they see the price tag.

Naturopathic visits are incredibly valuable. They’re also expensive, rarely covered by insurance, and not always available when your child gets sick unexpectedly.

That gap is exactly why I created the Doctor Mom Membership.

This isn’t about choosing cheaper care.

It’s about making supportive guidance accessible... especially in the moments when you’re deciding whether to wait, intervene, or seek medical care.

Inside the Doctor Mom Membership you’ll find:
-75+ childhood illness protocols
-step-by-step guidance for everything from cough to eczema
-natural & conventional options both explained
-live Q&A calls with NDs (myself and Dr. Desta Golden)
-and (my favorite part) a community of moms who get it

You can still see your doctor, but this gives you the power to
not feel alone in between and not waste time or money on unnecessary visits.

I would LOVE to see you inside. Comment DMSALE to get in at this low price before it goes back up.  & anyone that joins during this sale gets an awesome bonus too!  **BONUS: Antibiotic & Gut Support Guide - only for current members and anyone that joins during THIS sale. Honestly, it’s SO helpful if your kid needs to go on antibiotics.

Sale ends 2/26.

So many moms come to me not because they don’t care, but because they care so deeply and feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice, noise, and pressure to “just know.”

Here’s the truth I told her, and what I want every mom to hear:

Confusion doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
It means you care enough to learn.

Failure isn’t a lack of effort.
It’s a lack of confidence.

When a mom is second-guessing every health decision, it’s not because she’s incapable… it’s because she hasn’t been given clear, respectful guidance that helps her trust herself again.

Good moms ask questions.
Confused moms aren’t behind… They’re paying attention.

Your job isn’t to know everything.
Your job is to stay curious, connected to your child, and supported as you learn.

And that’s exactly why the Doctor Mom Membership exists.

Not to replace your doctor.
Not to tell you what to do.

But to give you:
-clear, step-by-step protocols
-guidance for when to watch vs. when to act
-natural and conventional options explained
-and a community of moms who remind you that you’re not alone

Because when you feel supported, confusion turns into clarity.
And clarity turns into confidence.
Confusion isn’t a red flag.
It’s often the doorway to confidence.

It’s how a Doctor Mom is born.

✨ PS: one of the biggest fears I hear from moms is:
“Okay… we have to use antibiotics, so now what do I do?”

So many moms feel relieved that their child is getting help, but at the same time worried they’re doing something wrong or missing an important next step.

That’s why everyone who joins during this sale gets my Antibiotic & Gut Support Guide as a bonus… it’s a simple resource that walks you through how to support your child’s gut while they’re on antibiotics and how to rebuild afterward.

It’s meant to take that heavy “what now?” feeling off your plate and give you a clear place to start.

(And yes, existing members get this too 🤍)

And right now, you don’t have to do it alone. The membership is on sale until 2/26. This is the best time to join. Comment DMSALE below and I’ll send you the link.

Flu season can stir up a lot of fear... especially when stories about severe illness or complications start circulating.

If your mind immediately goes to worst-case scenarios, I want you to know that your reaction makes sense.

When it’s your child, everything feels bigger.

The truth is, the flu can be intense...

but most children recover well with supportive care and close observation.

The key isn’t doing everything... it’s knowing what actually helps, what to watch for, and when medical care is needed.

One tool I like many parents to be familiar with is Oscillococcinum.

It’s commonly used for classic flu symptoms like body aches, fever, chills, fatigue, and headaches, and it’s something families often appreciate having on hand early.

Just as important are the unglamorous basics:

-Hydration matters more than food.

-Rest is not optional.

-Humidified air can ease respiratory discomfort.

This post is meant to calm, not overwhelm.

Inside the Doctor Mom Membership, we go much deeper:

✔ full flu protocols
✔ natural and conventional options explained side-by-side
✔ safety guidance and red flags
✔ details to know if you are considering the flu shot
✔ substitutes for tamiflu
✔ top homeopathics
✔ symptom-specific support
✔ a community of moms navigating this together  ..and loads more

You don’t have to rely on Google at midnight.

You don’t have to guess.

And you don’t have to do this alone.

If flu season has you on edge, support is here.

& it’s on sale RIGHT NOW, through 2/26, comment DMSALE below and I’ll DM you the information.
