Ask the expert: paediatrician Dr Mona Amin talks ADHD, autism, allergy, pregnancy and much more
The JourneyShow Notes
We talk to US Paediatrician Dr Mona Amin (aka @pedsdoctalks) about what she sees more of in her clinic, why she thinks this is happening, as well as myth busting around the use of antibiotics (turns out most childhood illnesses are viral) and how she thinks we can set our kids up for long term health and robust immunity. She focuses on breastfeeding (with some practical tips and tricks) and even chats to us about the microbiome and the science behind screen time and brain development. She is also pregnant with her first child so she shares with us her own tips and tricks for a healthy pregnancy and what she does herself.
