More on the topic

In this category you will find answers to the questions I hear most often from parents and expecting mothers: which vitamins matter during pregnancy, what is safe while breastfeeding, how to give supplements to a baby and which children's products truly make sense.

Everything is written in plain language and checked against official sources. When a topic concerns a child's health, I always note which age, which form and which dose we are talking about.

And as a mother I know that behind every such question there is a quiet worry. That is why the texts here are written in plain language, and if your case is more specific, you can always write to me in the chat, where I do not give diagnoses and do not change treatments.
