Read the Pattern: A Pediatrician’s Guide
to Feeding 0-4 Months
You researched the stroller for six months. You have the nursery color-coded by developmental stage. And yet somehow, nobody prepared you for this.
The 2am Google spiral. The tracking app you check after every feed. The sinking feeling that something is wrong — even when you can't explain what.
You're not doing it wrong. You're just doing it without a framework.
Here's what nobody tells you about feeding a newborn:
It's not the mechanics that break parents. It's the uncertainty.
You can't see how much milk your baby is transferring. You can't predict what they'll do at the next feed. And every time something shifts — a shorter session, a fussier afternoon, a poop that's the wrong shade of green — it feels like a five-alarm emergency.
So you do what high achievers do.
You track everything. You research everything. You consult everyone. And somehow, the more information you collect, the more anxious you feel.
Because data without context doesn't create clarity. It creates more questions.
What if you had a pediatrician — one who also happens to be a registered dietitian with nearly 20 years of experience — who could sit down with you, cut through the noise, and tell you exactly what actually matters?
That's this course.
“Read the Pattern” is a self-paced video course that gives you the clinical framework, the honest science, and the genuine permission you need to feed your baby with confidence — without the guilt, the spiral, or the 47-tab browser situation.
In 6 focused modules + 1 bonus module and extra resources, you'll learn:
✓ How to actually know if your baby is getting enough — not by tracking every ounce, but by reading the pattern that actually matters
✓ What's in breast milk and what's in formula — the real science, explained clearly, with zero judgment about how you're feeding
✓ How to choose a formula without losing your mind — a simple three-question framework that cuts through the noise of 30+ products on the shelf
✓ What your baby's body is telling you — from green poop to grunting to the spit-up that ends up on your third shirt of the day
✓ How to read your baby's growth chart — what your pediatrician is actually looking at, and why the percentile is not a grade
✓ Why feeding feels so hard — and how to reset when the anxiety takes over
✓ What to do when things don't go as planned — intake drops, feeding aversions, and how to stop cycling through every remedy on the internet

"You take something that truly is an industry — the formula industry — and make it understandable in terms of what it actually means for a baby. You tackle the guilt so well. That perspective is incredibly freeing, and I think your work gives that gift to many parents much earlier."
— Allie, mama of an 11-year-old + 3 month old
This isn't a course about breast vs. formula.
It's a course about confidence.
Most feeding resources give you rules. Do this, not that. Feed this way, not that way. Use this product, avoid that one.
This course gives you a framework for thinking — so you can make the right decision for YOUR baby, at THIS stage, with the information in front of you right now.
Because the goal was never perfect feeding. The goal was a parent who trusts themselves.
"The statement 'fed is best' circulates everywhere — this is the course that actually backs that up with science, best practice, and a good explanation of the differences and similarities in the many ways an infant can be fed. This course dispelled a lot of confusion surrounding breastfeeding and formula feeding. As someone in the healthcare field who loves science and understanding the 'why' — your course was incredibly informative and clear."
—Kate, Mama to a 6 yr, 3 yr, and 6 month old

Not sure yet? Here's what I know: the anxiety you're feeling right now doesn't go away on its own. It goes away when you have a framework. That framework is inside this course.
Hi, I'm Dr. Liz.
I'm a board-certified pediatrician AND a registered dietitian — which means I've spent 20 years at the exact intersection of nutrition science and child development.
I've guided thousands of families through early feeding in my clinic. I've answered the 2am questions. I've seen the tracking apps. I've sat with the parents who are doing everything right and still feel like they're failing.
And I've been that parent too.
I had my first baby 10 weeks into medical school. My second two weeks after boards. My third in residency. I know what it feels like to be an educated, capable, high-achieving person who is completely undone by a 4-minute nursing session that didn't feel like enough.
What I know now — and what I want to give you — is the framework that makes the difference between reacting to every data point and actually trusting the pattern.
You don't need more information. You need the right information, from someone who has sat across from thousands of families and knows exactly what matters.
That's what this course is.
