  • Appreciate a different perspective

    I am grateful for the ability to hear the AAP’s thoughts on various topics. Not a fan of the phrase “pregnant people”… when I’m looking for information regarding health I’m looking for facts.

    It was a little sketchy to hear a rsv add in the middle of the vaccine episode but I understand because the major vaccine companies do sponsor the AAP.

    I appreciate their nonjudgmental approach and their encouragement to reach out to my pediatrician and not fear fact.

    I will keep listening but prefer ... more

  • The frequency of the phrase "as a mom" and the focus on moms is jarring. Let's try to involve fathers in the learning process for child care, so that as a society everyone feels included, and therefore expected to participate.

  • Confusion

    I enjoyed this podcast until the episode about educating about puberty, which is so very important. The host was talking about girls and menstruation, but then changed the verbiage to people who have a menstrual cycle. I can no longer trust this podcast to give me biologically accurate information if the host cannot differentiate which sex has a menstrual cycle.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Baby Skin 101: Rashes, Eczema, Cradle Cap & More – Ep. 102
Q: Are there any rashes or symptoms that go along with rashes that mean a baby needs prompt medical attention?
Blisters in babies under three months need prompt assessment. Spreading, oozing or crusting rashes, or rashes that persist without improving, should also be evaluated by a pediatrician.
Baby Skin 101: Rashes, Eczema, Cradle Cap & More – Ep. 102
Q: What should parents look for in skincare products that are good for their babies?
Maguiness recommends gentle, fragrance-free cleansers without harsh surfactants, avoiding soap at every bath, and applying a bland moisturizer after bathing.
When is Your Child Ready for a Phone? A Parent's Guide to Safe Digital Habits – Ep. 101
Q: What are some parental controls that you would say, Edith, you absolutely have to turn those on for your kid before you give him a phone?
Munzer recommends first identifying the child's communication needs and choosing the simplest suitable device. Families can use device settings to limit access times and notifications, protect sleep, and supervise social media use. She stresses that these controls should be paired with ongoing conversations and parental guidance.
When is Your Child Ready for a Phone? A Parent's Guide to Safe Digital Habits – Ep. 101
Q: What age is a child ready for social media?
Munzer says younger teens, particularly those around 13 and 14, may not yet be ready because they are still developing reasoning skills and can struggle to interpret social cues or recognize persuasive platform design. She recommends waiting until a teen shows greater maturity and responsibility when possible.
Keeping Kids Protected: Vaccine Updates for Parents – Ep. 99
Q: How should clinicians approach screening and infection control in offices with potential measles exposure?
Clinics should use screening questions, consider telehealth first when exposure is suspected, and maintain awareness that measles is airborne and highly contagious; proper triage helps prevent in-office transmission.
