  • 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.

The guest stresses normalization, clear explanations of potential infections, and TeachBack to ensure understanding. The decision to perform an LP or discharge hinges on negative inflammatory markers and safe follow-up, with clinicians explicitly engaging families in the risks and benefits and tailoring language to each family's needs to promote equity.
S7 Ep180: INTERN BOOTCAMP: Febrile Infants - When Babies Are Too Hot
Q: What are the big take-home changes in the new guidance for febrile infants?
The episode emphasizes three age-based groups with tailored evaluation: 8–21 days require the most aggressive workup with routine CSF testing; 22–28 days allows a more selective approach using procalcitonin with other markers to risk-stratify and may reduce automatic lumbar punctures; 29–60 days uses inflammatory markers, including procalcitonin when available, to decide on LP and admission, with shared decision making guiding whether to discharge after short antibiotics or continue inpatient care.
