June 27-28, 2022
Guests: Dr. Marilyn Maxwell, Dr. Patricia Francis, and Dr. Paul C. Reisser

Part 1
If you’re expecting a child or are the parent of a newborn, you won’t want to miss today’s Family Talk broadcast. As Dr. James Dobson interviews a panel of pediatric doctors, you’ll learn about the importance of breastfeeding, best practices for treating croup, and some of the presumed causes of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, also known as SIDS. Because babies have an insatiable curiosity in their first year, it’s essential to child-proof your home by placing medicines, cleaning products, and other potentially toxic items out of reach.

Part 2
On today’s edition of Family talk, hear another day of practical wisdom for those expecting their first baby, or for the parents of a newborn.  Dr. James Dobson continues his discussion with a panel of pediatric doctors. If your baby is colicky, don’t hesitate to ask the grandparents or your close friends to watch the child for a couple of hours so you can take a break. The pediatricians also weigh in on the debate over scheduled feedings versus on-demand feedings, and provide advice on sleep training.
