We sit down with Dr. Rebekah Diamond, a pediatrician, author, and mom, to discuss the real, often messy side of parenting.

Dr. Diamond shares her journey from being a confident pediatric resident to facing the overwhelming realities of new motherhood. We talk about the need for balanced parenting advice that blends science with intuition, how to navigate the noise of social media, and why trusting yourself is key.

Dr. Diamond also reveals what she wishes she’d known about safe sleep practices and breastfeeding, and how her experiences shaped her books, Parent Like a Pediatrician and her latest on toddler years, Eat Sleep Tantrum Repeat.
