The Mom-to-Mom Truth

Hey friend, before we go any fur­ther, I need to be super clear about some­thing impor­tant:

I'm not a doc­tor. I'm not a nurse. I'm not a health­care pro­fes­sion­al of any kind.

I'm just a mom who used to be a teacher, shar­ing what's worked (and spec­tac­u­lar­ly failed) for my fam­i­ly. Think of me as that neigh­bor who chats over the fence, not your med­ical advi­sor.

What This Means:

Every­thing on this web­site – every rem­e­dy, every sug­ges­tion, every "Nana's wis­dom" – is based on my per­son­al expe­ri­ence and research. It's infor­ma­tion and edu­ca­tion, NOT med­ical advice.

Your Respon­si­bil­i­ty:

  • Always con­sult your doc­tor before try­ing new reme­dies
  • Nev­er delay or avoid med­ical care because of some­thing you read here
  • Trust your parental instincts – if some­thing feels wrong, call your doc­tor
  • What works for my fam­i­ly might not work for yours

Espe­cial­ly Impor­tant:

  • For babies under 12 months: Extra cau­tion always
  • For chron­ic con­di­tions: Work with your health­care team
  • For emer­gen­cies: Call 911, not Google
  • For seri­ous symp­toms: See a pro­fes­sion­al imme­di­ate­ly

The Bot­tom Line:

I share these nat­ur­al approach­es because they've helped my fam­i­ly, and I hope they might help yours too. But you know your fam­i­ly best. Use com­mon sense, con­sult pro­fes­sion­als, and nev­er use this web­site as a sub­sti­tute for med­ical care.

Stay safe and smart, Abby
