Breastfeeding
Report
Breastfeeding is the act of feeding a baby directly from a mother's breasts. Babies are born with a reflex that enables them to suck instinctively, which in turn stimulates the ducts inside the mother's breast to release milk. Pregnant women begin producing colostrum just before having their babies.
Child Immunization
Report
Each year, top disease experts and doctors who care for children work together to decide what to recommend that will best protect U.S. children from diseases. The schedule is evaluated each year based on the most recent scientific data available. Changes are announced in January if needed. The schedule is approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Newborn Care
Report
Newborn care is an area of pediatrics that focuses on ensuring that babies under three months old are getting the nutrition they need and developing properly. If you have a newborn or are expecting in the coming months, take a moment to learn more about what is required when caring for a newborn. Good newborn care includes scheduling regular checkups with a pediatrician during those first few months of the child's life.
