Summary

What does your Pediatrician ACTUALLY know? It seems on social media this is the narrative: “They have no education on lactation!” “They make money if they vaccinate our kids!” “They know nothing about nutrition.” “They know nothing about child safety!” “And why do they keep asking how my child is sleeping??!” I welcome Dr. Krupa Playforth, fellow pediatrician and mom and owner of her own practice to hash out all of these things and separate fact from fiction. We discuss: What pediatricians really know from our training about lactation, car seat education, sleep, and nutrition Why your pediatrician cares about your child’s sleep Misconceptions about pediatricians especially on social media (*ahem* We don’t get paid by big pharma to push vaccines) To connect with Dr. Krupa Playforth follow her on Instagram @thepediatricianmom, check out all her resources at https://www.thepediatricianmom.com/ and purchase her book Eyes, Nose, Belly, Toes. Our podcasts are also now on YouTube. If you prefer a video podcast with closed captioning, check us out there and subscribe to PedsDocTalk TV. We love the sponsors that make this show possible!
