Many, if not most, infants will need at least some amount of formula supplementation to reach their optimal health, writes @rebekah_diamond.
Yet too many moms equate using formula with failure:

The infant formula shortage is being used by people to further the stigma against formula — and the shaming of parents who use it, writes @rebekah_diamond.
The popular conception that parents can simply rely on breastmilk is misguided and dangerous:

As a pediatrician and mother, it’s horrifying to see that, rather than unifying the country in a concerted effort to address this emergency, the shortage is being used by many people to further stigmatize infant formula.

Dangerous antiabortion policy
Critical infant formula shortage
Shoddy breastfeeding support
No parental leave
Covid precautions lifted
No vaccines for <5
Inadequate healthcare for families
All seemingly ok with the “pro-life” crowd.
How can our society tolerate this?

Mystery Hepatitis In Kids Is On The Rise — What Parents Should Know
Great piece by @mrstschinkel for @ScaryMommy on the rise in pediatric hepatitis cases. Happy to have been able to contribute to this important article! scarymommy.com/lifestyle/hep…

Antiabortion is antichild.
Thank you @GlobeIdeas for sharing my plea as a pediatrician and mother.
So-called “pro-child” antiabortion advocates are the same people who deny mothers the social supports they need to take care of themselves and their children, writes @rebekah_diamond. trib.al/jJLu4QY

why is my 4 year old crying?
apparently I “lied” to her by explaining that I’m a mammal (like all other humans) because mammals drink milk but mommy only puts milk in coffee.
this was not in the pediatrician or parenting handbooks y’all.

There are wide inequities in vaccine uptake by schools and communities across NYC. There are schools with vaccine uptake only in the high 30s%. These are the same schools that are overcrowded and without adequate ventilation. Removing mask policies in these schools is dangerous.

Parents, it’s society that’s failing your children, NOT you.
As you are forced to take on preventable risk, I know you will succeed in helping your child navigate an unjust world.
This is NOT the same as resignation.
My community of pediatricians + parents will keep fighting.

Getting screamed at that covid isn’t bad for kids after spending the day in the hospital seeing how bad covid in fact is for kids (in so, so many ways) is a real mindf***k

It's pretty amazing that all these years American parents have been following the 'No Peanuts' rule in schools, even though *their* child doesn't have peanut allergy.

4 years ago, bogged down by postpartum anxiety and overwhelmed by parenting expectations, I promised to use my writing to help other parents.
Thanks to @KensingtonBooks @AevitasCreative @JJBrouckaert + do many others, I know I’ve followed through.

My latest plea to protect kids under 5. Parents aren’t okay, and neither am I.
