I will share my thoughts, as I always do (ha!), but also provide tips for how to detox from screen time. It’s a tried and true method that has worked for all my friends.

Welcome to "When Millennials Become Moms," covering all aspects of parenting, pregnancy, postpartum care, nutrition, and non-toxic living. Dr. Natasha Beck, also known as Dr. Organic Mommy, is a public health and parenting expert. She founded Dr. Organic Mommy to assist every parent in making healthy decisions for themselves and their families.
During her early career in clinics, she observed the significant impact of diet on children's health. Her determination grew when her first child was hospitalized for 29 days, fueling her frustration with marketing schemes and the lack of regulation and transparency in the consumer product industry. Implementing non-toxic changes in her life, she began educating others about her journey. She continues her research and exploration with "When Millennials Become Moms." Along with her co-host and Dr. Organic Mommy co-founder Emily Raiber, they engage with leading experts, share personal struggles, and navigate the vast amount of information available. They aim to simplify the complexities of modern motherhood, which is very different from the era when baby boomers were raising children.
