I am legitimately glad you’re here. I know most websites say that,
but I truly mean it.
I am glad you’re here.
I am thrilled that you’re you.
Hey! I’m Dr. Lauren Hughes
I am a board-certified pediatrician, IBCLC, owner of Bloom Pediatrics, wife, mom of three (including twins), dog mom, exercise enthusiast, cusser, amateur baker, and advocate for pediatric health.
This website will be the home all the things I’ve created - mugs, shirts, baby bodysuits, courses, guides, and more things as I come up with them!

From a time before, Dr. Hughes showed her “true colors” (no cussing or sass) and learn a lot of things breastfeeding from what to expect during pregnancy to the first few days after delivery and further into the postpartum period.

Okay-ish, consolidated, non-fear based information on starting solids, allergens, choking, bottle/pacifier weaning, and just like one or two more things because feeding your baby should be FUN!

Who I am
No one is more surprised than me that we’re both here right now. I never expected that teaching people about pediatric health and science, with some parenting realness and baking mixed in, would lead me here. While I will never understand how this has grown to what it’s become, I am grateful as hell that you helped be a part of it, just by being here <3.
I wear a lot of hats. I’m a physician, business owner, wife, mom, avid Peloton rider, crotcheter, reader, and baker (self-taught).
I am someone who values transparency, critical thinking, respect, integrity, inclusion, kindness, and makes medical/scientific recommendation based on high quality evidence.
