Priya Sharma

I’m Priya Sharma, a pediatric nurse with twelve years of hospital and community experience — and the mom of a spirited little boy who keeps my theory honest. At Mom’s Journal I translate medical guidance into calm, practical advice: what a fever really means, how sleep actually develops, and when it’s okay to just trust your gut. No scare tactics, ever. Just evidence, empathy, and the reassurance that you’re doing better than you think.
