A doctor mom
Non-judgmental information always
Once Dr. Rupa became a mom, she understood the vast amounts of information available online for parents. And it was overwhelming. Her goal, in her medical practice and here, is to provide a safe space for education and information. Because we are all doing the absolute best we can. No parent shaming here.
