The month of May is dedicated to building awareness of maternal mental health. One in five women will suffer from postpartum anxiety or depression, and this is the number one complication of pregnancy and childbirth.
In todayâs episode, Allison is joined by Dr. Stephanie Grice, a practicing pediatrician and a mom. Dr. Grice details the role a pediatrician can play in supporting moms dealing with postpartum depression or anxiety. She explains how this role has changed over the last decade, and what efforts are being made by pediatric providers to support the mental health of all members of a family.
She and Allison discuss the thoughts that might deter a new parent from confiding in their pediatrician, as well as the tools pediatricians can use to determine if a new parent is struggling. Listen in to hear the steps a parent can take if they feel they need assistance, or are having trouble finding someone to help.
Dr. Grice also shares the exciting new initiative theyâve launched in her practice that puts a whole new spin on caring for the whole family. Itâs an approach we think will help a lot of families.

The month of May is dedicated to building awareness of maternal mental health. We devote episodes each year to this important topic, trying each year to approach the conversation from a slightly different perspective.
In todayâs episode, Allison is joined by Dr. Nicole Rankins, a board-certified, practicing OB/GYN and mom of two. Dr. Nicole candidly shares the training OB/GYNs receive around maternal mental health and the role they can play when a woman is struggling. She and Allison discuss the challenges women face when seeking help for depression or anxiety, what a woman can expect from her OB/GYN if they are struggling, and the significance of the screening OB/GYNs do after a woman gives birth. They address what steps a new mom can take if she suspects she might need some mental health support, as well as how a partner or loved one can initiate difficult conversations with the new mom in their life and her health care providers to get the necessary assistance.

Studies clearly show that getting the optimal amount of sleep improves a childâs impulse control, emotional regulation, and learning retention. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children 3 to 5 years old get 10-13 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period and that children between 6 and 10 years old get 9 to 12 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. These are big ranges and it can be difficult to determine the sweet spot of optimal sleep for each child. Allison believes that many children can get by on the lower end of these ranges, but will really thrive on the higher end. Listen in to hear the details of her own personal experience and many of her clientsâ experiences that have led her to this conclusion.
