MD For Moms Radio, Every Wednesday 1pm (ET) on The BBM Global Network, iHeartRadio and iTunes.
This week on MD for Moms, I’ll be interviewing pediatrician Dr. Jennifer Trachtenberg, or Dr. Jen as she is known to her patients and many fans. Dr. Jen recently released a comprehensive video guide called Pediatrician In Your Pocket, which functions as the ultimate parent cheat sheet. Dr. Jen will explain what this new video guide is and how parents can use it to make their lives easier.
We will also explore many common questions new parents face but rarely find consistent answers to, such as if there really is benefit to delivering at a ‘baby friendly hospital.’ Also, ‘what is my baby’s poop supposed to look like and will it change based on what I eat if baby is breastfed?’ ‘Are pacifiers good or bad?’ ‘When should I worry if my baby isn’t sitting, speaking, walking etc?’ ‘When is it too early to sleep train vs. the right time?’ ‘Is cry it out safe?’ ‘When should my child start potty training?’ Answers to these and many more questions on this week’s MD for Moms.
