Glavnaya Mama RF: motherhood school

The first months with a baby come with a thousand questions, and advice from grandmothers, forums and bloggers contradicts itself. Glavnaya Mama RF collects answers from doctors and consultants in one place, and the bot is the way in. 👶

The greeting is short: press Start to pick up the mom's library. It is your first step into the school and its materials.

Who is behind the school

The school was founded by Vladislav Chenchak, a neonatologist. The project's website says its recommendations rest on evidence-based medicine, and that its authors include doctors and psychologists.

That sets it apart from random parenting channels. When you read about a child's health, it helps to know who the author is and what training they have.

What you can learn

Topics follow the stages of a family's life:

• Pregnancy and birth. Preparing for pregnancy, labor and the first days at home.
• Newborn. Care, breastfeeding and formula, developmental norms.
• Sleep. Building a routine, what sleep associations are and why sleep changes with age.
• Starting solids. How and when to introduce new foods.

The site also has a course for people who want to become infant sleep consultants. 😴

How the courses work

Learning happens online. For some programs the website lists this format: recorded video lessons, access to materials for several months, a Telegram chat with a pediatrician and feedback from a specialist.

The details depend on the program, so read each course description instead of assuming. Paid programs are sold on the school's website, while the bot is the entry to the library and conversation. 🎓

Club and support

The school runs a club for parents, with doctor support and conversation with other moms. A place where you can ask a question without judgment often matters more than the lecture itself.

For technical issues the project has a support service, with contacts in the bot profile and on the website.

Using the materials well

1. Start with the topic you need right now: pregnancy, the first weeks or starting solids.
2. Write down questions for your own doctor while you read.
3. Compare age norms with your pediatrician's guidance.
4. Do not change treatment or feeding plans based only on online material.

An online course does not replace a doctor's visit. If your baby has a fever, a rash, trouble breathing or seems limp, seek in person care.

Before buying a course

A free library is great for getting acquainted. Buy a paid program after you understand the teaching style and are sure you need the topic.

Check the access period, the format (recordings or live sessions) and the refund rules. The offer agreement and payment terms are on the school's website. Be skeptical of promises to fix all sleep problems in three days, because every child moves at their own pace.
