Hi, I'm Zibi Owens, and you're listening to the award-winning podcast.

Moms don't have time to read books.

Today's episode has been sponsored by pediatrician in your pocket at doctor-dash-gen.com.

Dr. Jennifer Tractenberg is a mother of three and a 20 plus year

pediatrician board certified who has called all of her amazing advice and made a series of five-minute

videos on everything from feeding and sleeping to safety and all types of parenting issues,

which basically every parent out there can use,

especially in the middle of the night when you can't reach your pediatrician. So this is like a must

off of all of her modules.

So definitely go to doctor dash gen.com and check it out.

It's also on a link in my website to Zibi Owens.com.

PA. So welcome, Kylie. Thanks for coming on moms and have time to read books. Thanks for having me.
