An All-in-One, Life-Prolonging Gift for Your Child
Sometimes in the hubbub of today, we miss simple things that can have a lasting impact. This is true for parents and for doctors.

The parents have no particular concerns. Which of the following interventions would be most likely to lead to a predicted decrease in mortality in a population of healthy 5-year-old children?” Decreased potassium intake Decreased sodium intake Increased caffeine intake Increased fluor...

When the contractions start, those strong uterine contractions get stronger and stronger and build and come closer together. There are very few things that can stop contractions. But there are some very powerful ...

Whole Foods as First Foods
It may seem overwhelming at first, but in reality baby’s first food could be as simple as a nice banana, mashed with a bit of breast milk or formula.

What is left is essentially a simple carbohydrate that quickly turns to glucose, resulting in spikes in blood sugar. It’s not exact...
