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 fierce 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!

Re-introducing the nipple balm that made one mom “grow new skin in 6 hours” over a wound - Cool Your Tits.
Get the nipple balm that one mom said made her “grow new skin in 6 hours” over a crack in her nipple. As Dr. Hughes always says - “be nice to your tits” and this balm is super nice.
Made with love and olive oil, shea butter, beeswax, aloe, calendula, and marshmallow root.
Recommendation is to apply immediately after nursing so it has time to get absorbed before the next boobin’ sesh!

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, honesty, inclusion, kindness, and makes medical/scientific recommendation based on high quality evidence.
