Mother of Borja (4) and Mª Gracia (1), when Mª Ignacia had her first child and was about to begin her specialty in pediatrics. She began to receive many questions about health from her close circle, so she decided to organize that information on her Instagram account @guaguatips.

Matea Mom of the month: Ignacia Hinojosa, pediatrician and creator of @guaguatips

Motherhood turned me into: the most empathetic woman you'll ever meet lol.

As a mom, I'm great at: doing a thousand things in one day, I never stop.

As a mother, I am terrible at: despite doing many things with the children, I am terrible at playing with them.

Something I wish someone had told me before becoming a mother: that friendships change, that some drift apart, but new friends come into your life who are in the same situation as you and we understand each other.

I can never say “no” to my children when they want something and they give me a cute look.

Since we became moms/dads, with my partner: we are more of a partner in parenting and everything is equal.

What I said I would never be like mom, and now I do: give sugar and turn on TV hahaha.

My favorite maternity accessory is: comfortable clothes

Do you like routine or flow in your day to day life? Routine 100%, but I make it change from time to time.

Best motherhood advice I've ever been given: Take care of yourself.

My favorite motherhood cliché is: Happy mom, happy baby, how true it is!

Support networks during motherhood are essential, because motherhood is very lonely at first.

My most unpopular opinion on motherhood: Long live co-sleeping, long live breastfeeding and formula, long live porridge and BLW, long live babywearing, long live waking up a thousand times a night.

Being a mother and a pediatrician makes my motherhood easier when they get sick, but at the same time I downplay my children's illnesses, it's a strange duality.

As a pediatrician, the question I get most from moms and dads is : poop always comes first, including in photos.

As a pediatrician, the most unpopular advice I give to moms and dads is: do what makes sense, be flexible, balance is the best recipe. The maternal instinct exists.

As a mother and pediatrician, my best advice about motherhood/parenting is: don't feel guilty, no one consciously does things because they want to do something wrong.
