“Pediatrics: 20th Century Success” by Chafen Watkins Hart, MD
During nights up with small sick children, I think most often about the terror of diphtheria, a bacteria which causes a thick covering of pus and mucous membrane to the throat and killed children in the millions. This death was horrific—parents watched their children die while fully conscious of suffocation secondary to sloughing debris in their small airways.
“Old-Fashioned Parenting Books” by Chafen Watkins Hart, MD
I recently picked up the volume on child development published in Childcraft books, copyright 1949. My mother had saved these from her childhood, and I had never realized they included an entire volume about the intricacies of child development. I love reading long-forgotten books about childhood development and may write a few more blog entries on some gems from the past I’ve found useful.
The Milk Bank Tour by Ame Odom, LVC, IBCLC
I would like to open by first saying that I feel like the ability to provide extra breast milk and the choice to donate your milk at any capacity is an incredible feat and a selfless gift that is a very personal choice. I was not ever able to produce extra milk to donate with either of my breastfeeding journeys, so I can totally relate to most of us moms who are just able to provide enough for their baby’s needs, or even need to supplement due to a low supply or other complication.
Back to School for Children with ADHD by Susie Gartman, BSN, RN
As the end of summer vacation is approaching, some of our patients diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) will start taking their medication. Other families decide to keep their child on their medication year round. There is not a right or wrong way. Each family decides what works best for their child. Each of our patients diagnosed with ADHD are unique, and therefore have different needs or reasons for taking stimulant medications.
“How to Read Parenting Books” by Chafen Watkins Hart, MD
If there is one thing booksellers still carry in hardcover, it's legions of parenting books. The titles range from the hokey and gimmicky to complex and scientific-sounding. There is even a book about the scores of books (Raising America: Experts, Parents and a Century of Advice about Children by Ann Hulbert).

FINALS EXAMS ARE HERE! By Susie Gartman, BSN, RN
Where did the year go? It’s that time of year again. Our kids must remember material from the beginning of the semester. That is a lot of information! If your child doesn’t get even a bit stressed, that’s great! As parents, we want our kids to do well. Is your child well organized and needs minimal help with their studying? That’s awesome. Unfortunately, with ADHD, most kids procrastinate.
Week One: The Basics
You either focused tirelessly on conceiving your first baby, or she was the greatest surprise of your life. Maybe you are somewhere in between. Whichever of these you relate to, we all ended up in labor and delivery, and then the time for you and baby to be discharged from the hospital and sent home. We remember thinking, “What, they are just going to let us leave here?”
