I would agree all those points matter when looking at a pediatrician. We go to Dr.Wheelock in westlake and she checks off on a lot of the points above, but is lacking on the "same day appointment" and you typically only see NPs on sick visits. That being said, her holistic view of things outweighed all of those negatives. A lot of moms also love modern pediatrics because they come to your home!

Our son is born in May and we decided not to hold back. He's currently in first grade now, and doing just find academically! I had a teacher tell me that if I held him back he would be bored and get himself into trouble. IF he was not right on track academically I would feel different, but he's not lagging behind at all. That being said, you will notice the difference in sports at the young ages, but it will all even out eventually! Lastly, I feel like in today's society a challenge and not being the oldest, tallest, fastest etc. will prepare him for the real world. ALL of this to say, that academics were NOT an issue at all so that helped our decision.

The BEST and easiest salmon recipe that your kids will love--- everyone I have passed this along to would agree!! Put salmon in a glass dish - put salt pepper and slices of butter on it. MUST do the "magic salmon seasoning" all over it. Put the oven on broil and broil it for 12-15 minutes depending on how you like your salmon - DONE. That's it and it will melt in your mouth. Then add trader joes microwave brown rice and usually I buy pre cut broccoli and cauliflower and roast it in the oven or throw it in the air fryer. Could also just buy frozen vegetables too!

Has anyone heard of all the buzz around Ozempic babies and how its helping with infertility?? Would love additional information here.

Has anyone had a boob job where they don't actually insert an implant? Wondering if they are able to do some type of lift, and add excess fat or something from somewhere else in the body!! If you live in Texas, its a plus if you have the doctor name you used!

Once my youngest turned 2, It’s a GREAT week if we are 2+. The younger age child I have at the time, the number decreases. I am also so tired!

@BadMamaJama Thank you!! I also heard magnesium cream can help with night terrors. I am also concerned that this morning when she woke up she was able to tell me she was NOT happy because her bunny was "wet" when it wasn't. Maybe not a night terror just a pyscho toddler since she remembers the episode from last night??

Would love for an older mom to chime in here and get her advice!! Really scared of the whole phone era that’s to come for my littles!

The days my 4 year old daughter doesn’t nap she wakes up about 2 hours after falling asleep in these crazy freak outs. She is usually just screaming and we can’t calm her down, or she’s crying about something outrageous like “my bunny is wet” when the stuffed bunny is definitely not wet. Takes 15-30 min to calm her. HELP!!!

Hi!

We are in the process of buying a house, and need to access the mold situation due to my daughters respiratory stuff. Anyone have any experience with this process, or Austin based recommended companies to work with?

Non Toxic Sunscreens that work!! Send away!

My son has been saying “what the f***”, do we make a big deal and wash his mouth out or ignore or what?!
