If your kid is scratching their b***y more than usual, you might want to hear this…

Let’s talk about pinworms… they’re the most common parasite in the U.S., especially in kids. And yes… they’re as gross as they sound. 😅

But if your child gets them, hear me loud and clear:

You did nothing wrong.

It’s super common, super contagious, and thankfully, very treatable.

Here are 3 things every parent should know:

1️⃣ They spread FAST

Eggs can live under fingernails, on bedding, food, toys you name it. Handwashing is your best defense. (And keep those nails trimmed!)

2️⃣ If one person has them, assume others are at risk too

Pinworms don’t discriminate… babies, kids, and adults can all get them. Good hygiene + treating the whole household = key.

3️⃣ This is one of those times conventional medicine is 100% appropriate

As much as I love natural remedies, Reese’s Pinworm Medicine (yes, it’s OTC!) is my go-to.
Two simple doses and it works. (but avoid if pregnant)

Let’s normalize talking about the not-so-cute parts of parenting so no mama feels blindsided.

Share this with a friend, you might just save them from a very itchy situation. 😅

Bath time isn’t just for getting clean… It can be a powerful way to support your child’s health!

From soothing skin irritation to helping little bodies detox, adding the right ingredients to your child’s bath can turn an everyday routine into a therapeutic experience.

One of my favorite go-to’s?

Epsom salt baths!

They help with:
✔️ Relaxation & better sleep
✔️ Constipation relief
✔️ Muscle & nervous system support

Simply add ½ cup for littles, up to 2 cups for bigger kids and let them soak for 20 minutes!

But don’t stop there… there are SO many other natural bath add-ins that can support your child’s immune system, skin, and overall well-being.

Here are some:
🌿 Bentonite clay for detox
🥣 Colloidal oatmeal for eczema & rashes
🥛 Breastmilk baths (yes, really!) for soothing irritated skin

Most of us carry our phones all day long…

In our pockets. In our hands. Next to us on the couch. Sometimes even tucked into a waistband while we’re multitasking around the house.

And if you’re a parent, chances are your kids are often right next to you while you’re using it too.

One small change I made years ago was switching to this phone case.

It looks like a normal case, but the front flap contains shielding technology designed to block EMF radiation toward your body while you’re using your phone.

It also doubles as a wallet and stand, which has actually made it really convenient for everyday use as a busy mom of 4!

I don’t panic about every exposure in modern life…but I do believe in making small, practical swaps when they’re easy to do. This one felt like a simple change that made sense for how often my phone is near me (and near my kids).

Does your child wake up with nightmares? You are far from alone. And I am sorry… this is hard on everyone in the house!

😴 You want your child to sleep soundly and not wake scared and worried!

Well, I have a remedy you may want to consider!

If your child:
😱 Wakes with terror
👐 Calls for you and needs you by their side to go back to sleep
😫 Is restless

➡️Please consider trying the homeopathic remedy: ACONITUM.

➡️I like the 200C potency 3 pellets right before bed.
And another 3 pellets when the child wakes.
After doing this for 3 nights you should see improvement.

If no improvement, there is a different homeopathic remedy!

➡️Safe for all ages. Don’t give up!

➡️Share with a friend that could benefit from this information!

One of the biggest sources of stress for parents when kids get sick is simply not having the right tools at home.

You’re trying to comfort your child while also Googling symptoms, wondering what to do next, and realizing you’re missing something you wish you had.

Over the years as a naturopathic doctor (and mom of 4), I’ve built what I call my Doctor Mom medicine cabinet -  a collection of simple tools that help support my kids’ immune systems and make sick days a little easier.

Things like:
• a good humidifier
• electrolytes for hydration
• detox bath supplies
• saline for congestion
• a reliable thermometer

None of these replace medical care when it’s needed, but they can make a huge difference in how prepared and confident you feel at home.

I’ve organized all of the tools and products I personally use into my Amazon storefront so parents can easily find them in one place.
If you want the full list, comment SPRING and I’ll send you the link.

Six months ago, the dentist told me Aviva had a small cavity.

My first question was:
 “Can we try a natural approach before jumping to a filling?”

It’s important to know that not every cavity can be reversed, but some can absolutely be stabilized or slowed when caught early.

So we made a plan. I followed Dr. Staci’s () cavity protocol - and guess what? It worked!!

We committed to 6 months of being intentional before reassessing.

Here’s what we focused on:
- Neutralizing her mouth after acidic foods
- Crunchy veggies & water after sticky or sugary snacks
- Skipping ozone oil (too strong for her)
- Using FYGG varnish & Elementa mouthwash consistently
- Making it simple enough that she would actually stick with it

And today?

We went back to the dentist…
And she does not need a filling right now. 🎉

The cavity hasn’t progressed. No drilling. No intervention at this time.

That doesn’t mean this approach works for every child or every cavity.

But in this case, slowing it down and supporting her mouth made a difference.
This was never about avoiding dentistry.

It was about partnering with it thoughtfully.
Holistic doesn’t mean ignoring. It means supporting the body while you monitor wisely.
I feel really proud of her for staying consistent.

And also proud of us for not panicking.

If this kind of steady, informed decision-making is what you want more of, this is exactly what we practice inside the Doctor Mom Membership.

There is a whole dental workshop inside with pediatric dentist and we cover SO MUCH about dental health. Comment DMM and I’ll DM you some more info about the membership.

I’ve had a bit of an “Aha!” moment, and I think it might resonate with you.
..You know how I used to say breastfed babies can go up to 10 days without p**ping, and it’s all good?

Well, I’ve had a little change of heart.

After diving deeper into the world of infant digestion, I’ve come to realize that when our little ones are constipated, it’s not just a minor hiccup, it’s a sign something needs attention.

While breastfed babies might not do the daily p**p dance like their formula-fed pals, going several days without a bowel movement? Not a high five moment.

But I want you to know that there are gentle, natural ways to nudge our babies’ digestive systems back into the happy dance.

From prebiotics to the art of belly massages and the comforting touch of chiropractic support, I want to keep those tiny tummies smiling! 😊

Because let’s be real, we want our babies to have a p**pin’ good time! 💩
