This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, I’m joined by my friend and fellow podcaster Dr. Mona Amin to chat about those quirky, confusing, and totally normal things newborns do in the early days.
Dr. Mona is a board-certified pediatrician and parenting expert who’s all about helping new parents feel calm, confident, and informed.
Inside this episode, we’re unpacking:
Why your baby’s hiccups are nothing to worry about
What’s going on with day/night confusion
How much (or little!) your baby really needs to eat in those early days
And 7 more newborn behaviors that might surprise you!
If you’re a first-time parent or you just want a little reassurance, this episode is full of validation and real talk from two mamas who’ve been there 💛
