So Many Babies: My Life Balancing a Busy Medical Career & Motherhood
So Many Babies describes one overworked physician-mother as she journeys through medicine and motherhood raising three children.

While practicing medicine in the NICU full time for over thirty years, Susan Landers, MD met and managed many trials raising her three children, trials typical for many working mothers, such as breastfeeding, sibling rivalry, bedwetting, dyslexia, a gifted child, ADHD, a dog bite, and an adolescent eating disorder. The challenges of a full time practice and many twenty-four-hour shifts in the high-stress NICU always complicated issues with Susan’s children, but also provided her the privilege of caring for thousands of critically ill newborn infants.

Susan always felt that her career and accomplishments in medicine were equally as rewarding as raising three children. It was the constant attempt to balance these two worlds – physician and mother - that was so daunting a task. Susan believes that most, if not all, working mothers are similarly challenged as they attempt to manage their work and being a good mother. So Many Babies describes Susan’s experiences of finding resilience and endurance throughout her career as a physician and mother. It is an entertaining and reassuring story for working mothers.

About the Author

After completing medical school in South Carolina and residency and fellowship training in Texas, Susan Landers, MD practiced full-time neonatology (the intensive care of critically ill premature and newborn infants) while raising three children. She has worked in academic medicine, on the faculty of two medical schools, and in a private practice. Susan’s children presented her and her physician husband with many challenges over the years, trials and struggles which she considers typical for all working mothers. For many years, Susan worked for the American Academy of Pediatrics as an expert in breastfeeding medicine, writing policy, and teaching at national conferences. She has been interviewed by many news outlets about her work using donor human milk in the NICU and her work with the Mother’s Milk Bank of Austin. She resides in Austin, TX.
