So, you’ve been at home with your new little one for a few weeks now and are adjusting to your new normal. Amidst all the emotions, there is a tiny little thought in the back of your head: going back to work…

As a working, breast feeding mom myself, I can relate to and understand the struggle of emotions that you may be feeling. Step 1: don’t hide from this unknown. Let’s face it together!

Whether it be 8 hours a week or 50, there is a very real, conscious, and sometimes subconscious stress in going back to work. We have lovingly put together a fluff free packet for you to review as you get ready for this next step in your training towards your new title of Wonder Woman.

If you are planning to return to work, either attend one of our Cookies and Milk groups held on the first Friday of every month to grab a packet, or download from here and read through it. We would love to see you (and sweet baby) and address all your questions or concerns. Remember this is the safe, no judgement zone where no concern is too small and no question too silly. Together we want to work with you to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Constipation and Abdominal Pain by Chafen Watkins Hart, MD

My 5-year-old daughter loves to ask me to buy Activia, so she can “poop more” and because of her impression, thanks to crafty marketing, that Activia has more vitamins than her favorite yogurt. We see constipation constantly in the pediatric office and it is, no doubt, a struggle for many children in the first world. In contrast, diarrhea is the leading killer of children in the third world.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

We celebrate moms this week—breastfeeding moms, pumping moms, supplementing moms and formula feeding moms. This week is a great opportunity to talk about breastfeeding. But first, this week is also a great opportunity to talk about what happens when breastfeeding doesn’t go well. We see moms in our practice every day who struggle with breastfeeding for a variety of reasons—poor latch, insufficient supply, etc. Through all of the struggles, our primary priority is the health of you moms and your babies.

Parenting and Power Struggles by Chafen Watkins Hart, MD

Roughly 20% of all children will present with a psychiatric diagnosis before 18. Asking for a family tree of psychiatric problems at the first well baby visit might someday become part of pediatric screening and at some point, mapping out genetic susceptibility to psychiatric illness is probably a good idea for each child. But parents can prepare for psychiatric problems also by employing the best positive parenting practices—minimizing power struggles and simultaneously taking care to get to know their child’s motivations and feelings as well as possible.
