It starts the moment you realize you are expecting. It continues during the pregnancy as mothers start feeling the flutter of their babies and wonder what will become. The delivery brings its own set of concerns, soon to be by replaced by the sheer joy and happiness of the blessed arrival. Sheer joy and happiness, and so much unconditional love. But also worry. From the very beginning until forever, it seems, as many adult children will attest.
Becoming a parent is a lifetime commitment to love, support, cheer, provide, counsel, nudge, and guide. The worry that comes with doing all this cannot be avoided. But parents should not stand alone. As the saying goes, it takes a village, and parents must be able to rely on others for advice. Grandparents and other experienced parents are great resources. But the professional opinion of a trusted pediatrician is invaluable. This applies to life threatening medical emergencies and also to the more routine questions parents are faced with everyday.
This is what Daktari is here to provide. A professional opinion to help you worry less, and concentrate on the sheer joy and happiness your children bring you.
In addition to being available for medical advice through the mobile app, please return frequently to read our blog posts, where common pediatric questions will be discussed.
