Hey, Baby! 

Your Essential Guide to Surviving & Thriving in the First 12 Weeks

Preview Course

You’re about to have a baby.
Are you ready for this?

If you’re here, you’re already doing what great parents do: showing up and preparing for what’s ahead.

Don’t worry. No one is born knowing how to parent.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone. 

When I had my own daughter as a pediatrics resident, I felt overwhelmed, and honestly a little scared.
If years of medical training didn’t prepare me, what were parents without that background supposed to do? 

This is the perspective I wish I had in those first days. 
And I made it for you.

There’s no shortage of advice.

(unfortunately)

Books. Influencers. Social media groups. Friends. Your mother-in-law.
You literally can spend all your time thinking, planning, researching … and still feel more overwhelmed than when you started.

  • Is my baby feeding enough?
  • Why aren’t they sleeping?
  • What does this cry mean?
  • Is this normal?
  • Am I missing something important? 

Lots of strong opinions, but they all don’t fit together.
So stop. Let’s build the right foundation first.

Uncertainty takes away from your time to actually be present as a new parent.
Before you know it, you’re stuck in a pattern that looks like this: 

  • spending hours reading and researching without finding definitive truth you trust
  • reacting to problems instead of understanding them and then feeling more overwhelmed
  • carrying anxiety into the early weeks and feeling more alone than you expected

This doesn’t have to be you. Let’s make that stop. 

Stop. Don’t miss this. 

Being a new parent can feel overwhelming. It’s easy to spiral, search, doubt, and feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. 

When that happens, stop. Take a deep breath. Come back to what matters. 

Don’t miss this. Don’t miss this moment. Don’t miss this chance to be present with your newborn.

Most of the time, your baby is okay. Trust me: you don’t need to solve everything in that moment. You need a foundation to understand what’s happening, decide what matters, and then be present. 

I’ll teach you how to recognize what’s truly important or urgent. But just as importantly, this will allow you to spend less time worrying about “missing something,” and more time not missing these moments.

These early days are intense, exhausting, and still so incredibly meaningful. It goes fast.
So when you feel stuck, tell yourself (or your partner):
Stop. Don’t miss this. 

Now let’s get you to this point together. 

 

A better approach to the first weeks.

I built this course from what I see every day. 

It’s the questions my own patient families ask again and again.
It’s what all the pediatricians across our national network wish parents understood earlier. 

Hey, Baby! gives you a structured foundation for the first 12 weeks.
You’re no longer trying to piece everything together on your own.

Inside, I’ll help you feel comfortable with:

  • what your newborn actually needs and what matters most
  • how to approach feeding, sleep, and daily routines with confidence
  • how to understand your baby’s cues and behaviors
  • what’s normal—and what’s not
  • when to feel reassured, and when to ask for help

You can start feeling more prepared and more confident in just one day.
Keep going. You’ve got this. 

It takes a village. So I built this one for you.

No one masters everything. 

Even in a pediatric residency, the goal is not to memorize it all, but to build the right foundation and know when to ask for help. 

Parenting works the same way. 

As a mom, I’ve asked for help.
As a pediatrician, I do it every day.

So instead of trying to teach everything myself, I’ve brought together a small group of experts I trust with my own patients. Each one focuses on a topic where new parents need the most support.

Grow Together

Stop the stress that comes with 3 AM scrolling for answers and second-guessing.
Build a confident foundation as a new parent. Because you want to understand your baby and enjoy these early days. 

Most expecting parents I talk with are already doing the work, reading, researching, and trying to prepare. If you’ve picked up a few books, joined a group, or watched some videos, you are on the path to being a great parent. Let’s take the next confident step forward together. 

Let’s keep going. Build the context to understand what matters, and the confidence to know what to do next.  

What Parents Say:

“I wish I had this before my baby was born. It would have saved me so much stress in those first few weeks. For those expecting new mamas out there, ‘keep going, you’ve got this!’”
— First-time mom

“Finally, I actually understood what was happening with our baby. Dr. Keili made me feel calmer almost immediately … I guess I didn’t realize how much the uncertainly was affecting me until it was gone. We could not recommend Hey, Baby more!”
— Parent of newborn

“I stopped Googling everything and finally felt like we had a game plan. Now anytime we’re facing something new with our kids, my wife quotes Dr. K and says, ‘Stop. Don’t miss this!’”
— Dad of two

“My husband watched it with me. For the first time since I delivered, we felt like a team again.”

— First time mom
