Parenting resolutions don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

This year, let’s set realistic goals—the kind that actually support our kids and our mental health without the pressure.

From letting kids be bored, to saying no without guilt, to absolutely yes a frozen veggie still counts!—these are resolutions most parents can relate to.

What's your parenting resolution for 2026?

Hi, I'm Dr. Brittany Mitchell!

I’m a board-certified pediatrician and mom, and I know firsthand how overwhelming parenting can feel. Between the endless questions ("Is this normal?" "Should I worry?" "Am I doing this right?") and the constant pressure to be the perfect parent- it's a lot! I created this space to give parents clear, practical, evidence-based guidance — without fear or judgment.

My goal is simple: to make parenting and kids' health easier and less stressful. I talk about baby and toddler health, childhood illness, sleep, feeding, development, and the real-life parts of parenting no one prepares you for.

Here, you'll find clear answers for common health questions, parenting support from the perspective of both a doctor and a mom, and reminders that you don't have to be perfect to raise confident, connected kids. If you’re looking for calm, trustworthy pediatric advice that fits into real life, you’re exactly where you belong.

I'm so glad you're here- let's learn, laugh, and navigate this parenting journey together. I hope you'll follow for pediatric health tips, parenting support, and realistic guidance from this doctor, who’s also in the thick of it.

This year’s focus was on one goal: helping parents feel more confident and connected and less overwhelmed.

In service of that mission, here were my five favorite pieces of content I created this year, each one special for a different reason.

In this roundup, you’ll find:
• Practical pediatric health tips, like parent to parent pep talks for those days that feel hard
• Evidence-based parenting guidance, like why the Hepatitis B vaccine is so important (a collaborative piece with some of the coolest people I know that was so fun and energizing to make)
• Real-life mom moments- like all those things I learned in the first year of motherhood that I wish I had known
• sprinkled with some silly moments to remind us all the enjoy the little things

If you’re new here, this is the perfect place to start. And if you’ve been here all year—thank you for trusting me with your questions about your kids’ health and development!

Which post helped you the most this year?

As a pediatrician and a mom, one of the most common questions I get is: “How can I protect my baby from RSV?”
For many families, Beyfortus (also called nirsevimab) is now a game-changer.

• Beyfortus helps protect infants from severe RSV disease, often preventing hospital admission or even from showing symptoms at all!
• It’s given as a single dose at the start of RSV season or as soon as possible
• Recommended for all babies under 8 months born during or entering their first RSV season — even healthy, full-term infants, as well as some special populations
• It is a form of spice immunity, providing antibodies directly to baby (similar to placentas!)

If you’re in the depth of baby’s first RSV season, talk with your pediatrician so you don’t miss out on protection.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) had key grant funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) removed. These grants helped fund pediatric research, injury prevention, mental health programs, and evidence-based guidance that families and clinicians rely on every day.

When pediatric health funding is reduced, kids lose first—especially the most vulnerable. This impacts the science behind our guidelines, the programs that keep children safe, and the advocacy that protects children’s well-being nationwide.

This is the moment to pay attention and speak up. So what can families and child advocates do?

Stay informed. Follow experts with credentials to back it up- if you need more voices to listen to, message me and I will connect you to our most trusted voices.

Talk to your pediatrician about your child. Do not trust strangers on the internet with your child’s health. Talk to the expert in YOUR child.

Contact your representatives and ask them to protect funding for pediatric health and research.

Children don’t have lobbyists—they have us.
