For this week’s blog post, I have the pleasure of sharing with you some of the work that Dr. Saloni Sharma is doing in order to help shift the management of pain from pills to natural alternatives. She is local to me and I already follow her on Instagram and Facebook and can’t wait to …
This week is going to be fun and action packed, so I wanted to bring you something short and sweet. I planned my week carefully on Sunday night as I always do, which included the time slot for writing my post. I went back and forth a little bit about whether or not I should …
I was inspired to write about melatonin after scrolling through several Instagram posts about how all that mothers want is some alone time and good sleep (at least those that have small children). One of the first blog posts on this site was about how horrible my sleep is and how hard I have been …

If you didn’t know, this week is National Doctors Day, a holiday celebrated yearly on March 30. I was not aware of this date for some time and even thought it was a new addition to the calendar. It turns out it has been around since 1933 when a physician’s wife in Georgia (Eudora Brown …
Today’s blog post is a first for Smart Mama, MD! I will be reviewing a colleague’s recently published children’s book, called Baby, MD.
