Customer Reviews
Love this show!
I love this podcast so much. She is concise and to the point, which makes for a perfect quick episode. I feel so much more knowledgeable and prepared for my first baby. I will recommend this podcast to all of my friends!
Okay, but more pseudoscience than I’d like
Some of the basic advice is great, but also sprinkled in is homeopathy and overpriced vitamins. Always bums me out when actual doctors start hawking woo.
Perfect for Parents
I’m a first time mom and this podcast has been so informative and helpful! I’ve loved following the episodes along with my babies age. Dr. Keim gives some great advice for how to play with baby, things to watch out for, and normalizes some things that had at first made me anxious and confused. Also love that they aren’t too long so it’s a perfect podcast to listen along to while I’m feeding my daughter! Definitely recommend for new parents or seasoned!
