3 big mistakes I see moms accidentally make all the time. Number 1, moms often get overwhelmed with all the different natural medicine options, so they don't do anything. Okay, moms, start with one. Give it a try. You don't have to do so many all at once. One is better than none. Number 2, moms are often worried. They don't know how much medicine to give, what's safe, what's not safe. Please don't be paralyzed by this, okay? Most natural medicines have dosing instructions right on the label to help guide you, or join my Dr. Mom membership for my exact recommended amounts so you don't have to worry for one more second. Number 3, moms think they will mess it up and don't think they can truly become a doctor mom, and they absolutely can. I believe every mom can be a doctor mom. With the right resources and community support, every mom can safely and effectively help their child when sick. You know your child better than anyone. You got this, mama. My life is dedicated to doctor moms just like you to become more empowered and educated.
