Doctor Mom

Moms can heal!

In case you're not confident that you have special healing powers just because you're a mommy, check out these research findings:

Mother's voice decreases stress hormones in children. This is very significant since stress hormones interfere with immune function.
Skin-to-skin contact reduces pain in infants. Pain induces stress and therefore interferes with immun function.
Contact with mother's skin helps to regulate breathing rate, heart rate, body temperature, and blood sugar and improves weight gain and brain development in babies.

**We're sure dads have super powers too, but the research on the healing power of dads has not yet been carried out.

As a parent, you will spend hundreds of hours monitoring your sick children and nursing them back to health. More and more parents are interested in using natural, safe and effective remedies to treat mild childhood illnesses at home.

Pediatric naturopathic doctor and mother of two Katia Bailetti shares her experience and expertise with you through Doctor Mom resources to help you do what you do best - care for your children.

Before studying naturopathic medicine at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, Katia completed a degree in biology at the University of Ottawa and a paramedic diploma at Humber College.

Over the past 10 years, Dr. Bailetti has worked in hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency care and multidisciplinary primary health care settings. She also leads health-related emergency planning initiatives for the Ontario Government.
