Welcome to The Blossoming Mamas Blog! We will be posting personal stories about the transition to motherhood with tidbits of information included on common questions women face as they welcome a new baby into their lives. We hope you enjoy reading more about others’ journeys to motherhood and find a source of strength and support as your family grows. 

 The posts on the Blossoming Mamas Blog are meant to give general information and are not meant to replace medical or professional advice. If you have specific questions or concerns, please make sure to reach out to your baby’s provider or your provider to ensure that you are getting the best individualized advice possible for yourself and your baby. You are also welcome to make an appointment with Dr. Natrajan to discuss your concerns if you feel that would be helpful.
