A Mother’s Intuition
Moms are being lied to.
Maybe some of it isn’t intentional.
Maybe it’s indifference.
Maybe it’s unwillingness to change.
But it’s still a lie.
One of the most powerful parenting tools is a

You knew something wasn’t right.
Yet one of the biggest lies comes packaged as “reassurance.”
“Your baby will grow out of it”
Your baby doesn’t sleep at night?
“It’s OK, they will grow out of it”
Your baby spits up all the time?
“Stop worrying, they will grow out of it.”
Your baby is bloated, constipated and in pain?
“It’s fine, they will grow out of it.”
Runny nose again? Another ear infection?
“It’s normal, they will grow out of it.”
The meltdowns, the tantrums, the 2 hour bedtime routine.
“It’s just a phase, they will grow out of it.”
Lies.
Why are moms so conditioned to doubt their instinct rather than ask questions about their child’s health?
You were right. You are right.
Your maternal instincts and your kids’ health is under attack.
There is a devastating checklist of stressors that every baby and child endures. Nobody is talking about them and they are affecting every child!
Fearful and intervention-driven pregnancy
Birth trauma
Vacuum extractions
Over-utilization of antibiotics and other medications
Environmental toxic chemicals
Chemical and sugar rich foods
Screen time
Severely limited physical activity
Emotional stress
All of these challenges will overwhelm your child’s brain. When this happens, their body’s “fight or flight” response kicks in.
During fight or flight….
Their body shuts down sleep patterns – sleepless nights
Their digestive system slows down – colic, gassy babies, reflux, constipation
Their immune system stops working well – chronic colds, ear infections, croup, allergies, asthma
Their senses heighten exponentially – anxiety, stress, meltdowns, SPD, ADHD
Doctors were looking at your child’s symptoms.
You were looking at your child.
This system is not working. Kids in our country are the sickest in the world because this doesn’t work.
Your child was not growing out of symptoms, they were growing into bigger challenges.
At the heart of so many health challenges is a brain and neurology that has been chronically irritated and overwhelmed.
The fact that these problems are common doesn’t mean that it’s OK for your child.
“They will grow out of it” is a dismissal blanketed in hope.
You were right. Your instincts are right. You deserve a doctor that not only listens, but respects what you as a mom are “hearing” from your child.
