In this episode Dr. Joel Warsh, board-certified pediatrician and father, joins us to chat all about the newborn stage and options that we moms have to get more informed, educated, and have better resources to be able to make informed decisions!

He answers questions like:

  • What are your TOP 3 questions to ask when it comes to interviewing a pediatrician when a mom is pregnant?
  • What are your thoughts on the TDAP vaccine when pregnant? 
  • Hepatitis B vaccine: What is it, and why would our baby need it or not need it at birth?
  • Vitamin K, what is it and why would our babies need it or not need it?
  • What is the hospital's eye ointment and why would our babies need it or not need it?
  • When is best to bathe our newborns?
  • When should newborns recover their birth weight by? And when is it a true concern and supplementing is needed?
  • How often should we wake the newborns up during this sleepy first couple of weeks?
  • At what point can we allow THEM to let us know day vs night?
  • How frequent should newborns pee and poop during those weeks to have confirmation that they are eating properly?
  • What are the top tips to protect their immune system when it comes to our lifestyle and boundaries with social outings and people?
  • Do all babies need to follow the CDC recommended vaccine schedule? Do we as moms have flexibility to choose the quantity and schedule of our kid's vaccines? What are your favorite vaccine resources to get informed?
  • Do all breastfed babies need Vitamin D supplement?
  • What's the best newborn routine "schedule" to follow.
  • When do you recommend adding a nighttime routine?
  • What are your recommendations of things to look for in a nanny or daycare?
  • Any red flags to keep an eye out for? Their breathing patterns? Noises? Skin rashes? Fever? Congestion? 
  • How would you treat a low fever?
