  • Just a mom :)

    I’ve been binging on your podcast this week. It’s so informative for me as a mom on the other side of the exam table. I find the tips really useful and the dad jokes and puns amusing :) Thank you for tackling all the subjects (common place to polarizing) with such decorum. And shout out from a VCU alumni (Art school) :)

  • Engaging

    I found Cribsiders only last week and have enjoyed a few episodes already. Originally I was interested because the name drew me in. I opened my own concierge infant practice in Florida this year named Crib Calls. However, given the current topics, engaging hosts, and reliable information, I will be listening often not just because of the shared name.

  • Highly recommend

    Love this podcast! I have been in practice for many years but I learn a great deal with each episode. Even if it is about a subspecialty subject I gain better understanding of the topic and learn when to refer and what workup is appropriate.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S7 Ep184: INTERN BOOTCAMP: Infant Nutrition: Digestible Pearls with Dr. Joan Meek, MD
Q: What are the benefits of breastfeeding for both baby and mother?
Breastfeeding is biologically normative and is associated with lower rates of infections for the baby and various long-term maternal health benefits, including reduced risks of diabetes, hypertension, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer, with the strongest evidence seen with exclusive and extended breastfeeding.
S7 Ep182: INTERN BOOTCAMP: IV Fluids - Salty and Sweet
Q: When should we start maintenance fluids in kids, and how do you decide when to switch from boluses to maintenance?
Maintenance fluids are considered after returning a patient toward euvolemia, using boluses to restore volume first, then switching to maintenance to maintain balance while monitoring labs and clinical response.
S7 Ep181: INTERN BOOTCAMP: Go with the High Flow: Bronchiolitis with Dr. Brian Alverson
Q: Should albuterol or steroids be used in bronchiolitis?
Albuterol and systemic steroids have not demonstrated meaningful clinical benefit in bronchiolitis and can cause adverse effects; guidelines generally recommend against routine use.
S7 Ep181: INTERN BOOTCAMP: Go with the High Flow: Bronchiolitis with Dr. Brian Alverson
Q: What is the role of high-flow nasal cannula in bronchiolitis?
High-flow can be used, but large randomized trials show no clear benefit in outcomes; use should be individualized and not treated as standard therapy for all patients.
S7 Ep181: INTERN BOOTCAMP: Go with the High Flow: Bronchiolitis with Dr. Brian Alverson
Q: How would you approach the workup for a bronchiolitis patient in the ED?
Avoid routine labs and imaging when possible; reserve tests for deteriorating patients or when management would change based on results. CBC and chest X-ray have limited diagnostic value in typical viral bronchiolitis and can lead to unnecessary antibiotic use.
