00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:02.359
It's time for your weekly checkup.
2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:05.120
This is Medical Monday, presented by our Lady of the
3
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.919
Lake House. Yes, it is time for Medical Monday and
4
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.599
we're pivoting the parenting this week, talking about parenting you
5
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:13.119
and baby.
6
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:13.599
One oh one.
7
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:15.839
This is an upcoming event and in person event. It's
8
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.199
hosted by our Lady Lake Children's Health and we've got
9
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:19.760
doctor Megott Smith on with us.
10
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.839
Doctor Smith, good morning, welcome to Talk one on seventy three.
11
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.079
How are you, good morning, How are you.
12
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.079
I'm doing great, I'm doing very well on this send
13
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.039
as well. All right, tell us all about it. What
14
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.879
is parenting you baby one oh one? And why was
15
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:32.520
it created?
16
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.600
So you are expecting you're having a baby, but babies
17
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.759
don't come with an instruction manual. There are so many questions.
18
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.560
Newborns can be confusing and so we want to empower
19
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.520
moms and dads to have a little bit more confidence
20
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:47.960
to know what to do in those first couple of
21
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:49.000
weeks and months of life.
22
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.079
The first couple of weeks and months are like, yeah,
23
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.000
that's that's the spot where like it's before any of
24
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.880
the books begin, right, all the books that are out there,
25
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.560
it's all about once they're you know, and the toddler
26
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.000
years in parenting and raising them and all that stuff.
27
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.680
But literally getting them home from the hospital is so
28
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:06.359
many questions.
29
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.519
Absolutely, I wish the baby came with an instruction manual.
30
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.719
But that's the great thing about your pediatricians in this
31
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.719
event is we're gonna give you so many different informations
32
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.280
and resources to kind of make you feel a little
33
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.280
bit better about making that next step of going home
34
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:21.040
with your loved one.
35
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.560
Covers all the basics we got feeding, sleep, car safety,
36
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.239
or car seat safety. Which of these do you think
37
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.439
parents tend to have the most questions we're worries about.
38
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:32.959
Ooh, that's a tough one. I think it depends on
39
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.879
if your baby's a good sleeper or if they're a
40
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.519
good either. I'd say that most parents have tons of
41
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.519
questions about feeding because it can be so confusing. But
42
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.560
I find sleep, especially when they're a couple of months old,
43
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.760
is when it becomes a big hot question as well.
44
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.959
And probably due to a lot of that, the baby
45
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.319
can't communicate with us other than you know, to cry.
46
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:58.000
It's like we don't know the answers, so feeding being
47
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.719
one of those bigger concerns for new parents. Practical advice
48
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.200
that you have would be what to ease their stress.
49
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.199
So take a deep breath whenever you are stressed. Baby,
50
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.719
con sense that you're stressed. Out of our event, we're
51
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.960
going to have a board certified blactation specialist who's also
52
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.919
a pediatrician, doctor Gregory Jelpi, who's going to go over
53
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.400
tips and tricks on breastfeeding, as well as myself, Doctor
54
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.680
Fletchers and doctor Row will go over a little bit
55
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.599
more on formula feeding and all the confusion that comes
56
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.199
with both of those things.
57
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.280
Very cool stuff. Move it over sleep.
58
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.240
What are some safe sleep tips that you'll be covering
59
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.039
and how can parents build healthy sleep habits from the start.
60
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.680
Yes, so from the start it's so important. So we'll
61
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.599
go over the ABC's of sleep sleep which is alone
62
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.319
on their back and in their crib. But also the
63
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.599
pro tip is starting that safe sleep practice even from
64
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.439
their naps at the beginning to kind of get them
65
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:51.680
adjusted and ready for it.
66
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.919
This is Medical Monday, which is of course presented by
67
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:56.319
the folks over at Are Lady to the Lake. We're
68
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.520
talking parenting you baby one on one maybe one oh
69
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.000
one with doctor Megan Smith.
70
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.439
This morning all right, rewind the clock. We're good.
71
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.039
Seventeen and a half years when I was when we
72
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.280
were leaving the hospital with our first I can remember
73
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.439
going over and over and over again how to do
74
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.439
the swaddling, how to do the swaddling, and then you
75
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:15.879
go to get the car to bring the baby home.
76
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.080
It's like, I can't buckle this with the baby swaddled.
77
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.960
Let's talk car seat safety, critical part of the event
78
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.039
coming up. Give me some common mistakes.
79
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:24.240
That you see.
80
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.000
I think the most common mistake that I see parents
81
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.280
do is they add extra stuff to the car seat.
82
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.280
And so what's going to be really great about this
83
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.599
event is we're going to have certified passenger Safety technicians
84
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.479
or cpsps for sure, going to come and teach us
85
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.120
a little bit about how to make sure that that
86
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.080
car seat is safe for a baby. Because you're right,
87
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.960
it's so confusing if you've never put a baby in
88
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.560
a car seat before, it's hard to explain, and so
89
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.120
having someone give you a hands on visual is going
90
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:52.960
to be so helpful.
91
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:59.039
And look, it's so obvious in hindsight, right for those
92
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.639
that are already parents that they're listening right now, Yes,
93
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.000
everything is obvious in hindsight, but rewind the clock and
94
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.120
put yourself in the shoes of that first time parent,
95
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.400
because yeah, there was a lot of that where it's
96
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:11.960
not intuitive.
97
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.360
Absolutely not, especially when you're sleep deprived in these first
98
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.680
couple of weeks of their life.
99
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.120
Yeah, also true as a pediatrician, what are some of
100
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.920
the more common questions or misconceptions you hear during the
101
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:26.319
early newborn visits that you'll tackle at the event as well.
102
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.240
I think one of the most common misconceptions that I
103
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.800
hear is that most or more expensive equals better quality,
104
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.120
and so we'll go over that with car seats and
105
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.839
formula and everything in between. But another common misconception is
106
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.839
that crying needs something matter, and we'll go over what
107
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.600
that looks like to help soothe your newborn.
108
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.439
Give me some examples of where crying is not does
109
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:49.480
not require attention.
110
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.040
So a healthy baby, when nothing else is wrong, they
111
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.319
can cry for up to two hours in a day.
112
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.279
Crying is their way of communicating. They don't quite have
113
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.360
the same voice vocabulary that you and I have, and
114
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.160
so they're trying to tell you something and you will
115
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.920
quickly learn where that crime means that I'm hungry and
116
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.279
this crime means that I have a dirty diaper, but
117
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.879
crying by itself doesn't necessarily mean anything the matter.
118
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.120
Talk about tag teaming as well. Teamwork makes the dream work, right, So, yeah,
119
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.199
this isn't just for the moms.
120
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.959
Right, one hundred percent. Bring Dad, bring grandma, bring whoever
121
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.279
is going to be helping you take care of this baby.
122
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.319
Even though they said they raised you perfectly, everyone can
123
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.800
use a refresher on how the best take care of someone.
124
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.319
We are of course covering parenting you baby one on
125
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.040
one from from our Lady the Lake and of our
126
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.839
Lady Lake is the sponsor of Medical Monday, which you're
127
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.040
listening to right now.
128
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.600
We're talking with doctor Megan Smith.
129
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.519
Got a couple more minutes, Doctor Smith, I want to
130
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.279
ask you about, Oh, you know what, let's step away
131
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.240
from the educational for just a minute. There's a little
132
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.879
bit fun involved here too. You guys have door prizes.
133
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.160
What can you tell me about what folks can win
134
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:55.199
when they come out.
135
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.560
Yeah, so there's going to be a pass and play,
136
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.199
a car seat and a diaper bag that'll be up
137
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.079
for raffle, but there also will be light refreshments and
138
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:04.720
snack for everyone in attendance.
139
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.639
How far along in the pregnancy does someone should someone
140
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.480
be to attend this? I mean just found out you're
141
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.000
pregnant two weeks from being due? Like, where whereabouts is
142
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.199
the right to the right fit to attend?
143
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.519
I think any weird that you are in your pregnancy journey,
144
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.720
even in the trying to conceive faith. We're even happy
145
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.959
to have you after you've had baby and you want
146
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:28.399
to come and learn a little bit more and bring
147
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.160
your little one with us too. So really this is
148
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:31.920
for everyone.
149
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:33.759
How often does the event happen?
150
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.000
This will be our first event, and so I'm hoping
151
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:38.680
that we'll continue to do it annually.
152
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.399
Okay, well so yeah, if it's annually, then yet get
153
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.600
in at whatever point of the pregnancy you're at, because
154
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.319
the next time it rolls around, you'll already be in
155
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.560
the thick of it. New moms, what do you hope
156
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.199
they walk away with after attending parenting you? Maybe one
157
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:54.439
on one?
158
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.720
I think the most important thing that a parent can
159
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:58.839
take away from this is a little bit of confidence.
160
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.319
Of Course, you're still to have questions when your little
161
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.160
one comes once you're in that real time environment, but
162
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.639
knowing that you have a pediatrician on your side and
163
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.399
just a little bit of confidence to go with it,
164
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.839
I think is the maing goal of this event.
165
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.639
Same for the new dads. I would assume absolutely and
166
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:16.519
last one before.
167
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:17.959
You get chat here, doc and I appreciate your time
168
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.639
this morning. How can folks register or learn more about
169
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:21.120
this event?
170
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.240
So as you go to the Children's Hospital website under
171
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.279
our Parenting Youth classes, you can register at Baby one
172
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:29.920
oh one and it's a free event.
173
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.360
Once again, wish we could have rewund the clock by
174
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.319
eighteen years. I would have loved to have had this
175
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.639
when we were first diving into parenting. But it is here,
176
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.160
and it is now, and it is unbelievably valuable for
177
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.240
first time parents. It's called Parenting You Baby one oh one.
178
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.399
She's doctor Megan Smith. Thank you so much for a
179
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:48.360
couple of minutes this morning.
180
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:50.199
Thank you so much.
1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:02.359
It's time for your weekly checkup.
2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:05.120
This is Medical Monday, presented by our Lady of the
3
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.919
Lake House. Yes, it is time for Medical Monday and
4
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.599
we're pivoting the parenting this week, talking about parenting you
5
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:13.119
and baby.
6
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:13.599
One oh one.
7
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:15.839
This is an upcoming event and in person event. It's
8
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.199
hosted by our Lady Lake Children's Health and we've got
9
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:19.760
doctor Megott Smith on with us.
10
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.839
Doctor Smith, good morning, welcome to Talk one on seventy three.
11
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.079
How are you, good morning, How are you.
12
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.079
I'm doing great, I'm doing very well on this send
13
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.039
as well. All right, tell us all about it. What
14
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.879
is parenting you baby one oh one? And why was
15
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:32.520
it created?
16
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.600
So you are expecting you're having a baby, but babies
17
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.759
don't come with an instruction manual. There are so many questions.
18
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.560
Newborns can be confusing and so we want to empower
19
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.520
moms and dads to have a little bit more confidence
20
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:47.960
to know what to do in those first couple of
21
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:49.000
weeks and months of life.
22
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.079
The first couple of weeks and months are like, yeah,
23
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.000
that's that's the spot where like it's before any of
24
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.880
the books begin, right, all the books that are out there,
25
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.560
it's all about once they're you know, and the toddler
26
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.000
years in parenting and raising them and all that stuff.
27
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.680
But literally getting them home from the hospital is so
28
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:06.359
many questions.
29
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.519
Absolutely, I wish the baby came with an instruction manual.
30
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.719
But that's the great thing about your pediatricians in this
31
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.719
event is we're gonna give you so many different informations
32
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.280
and resources to kind of make you feel a little
33
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.280
bit better about making that next step of going home
34
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:21.040
with your loved one.
35
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.560
Covers all the basics we got feeding, sleep, car safety,
36
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.239
or car seat safety. Which of these do you think
37
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.439
parents tend to have the most questions we're worries about.
38
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:32.959
Ooh, that's a tough one. I think it depends on
39
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.879
if your baby's a good sleeper or if they're a
40
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.519
good either. I'd say that most parents have tons of
41
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.519
questions about feeding because it can be so confusing. But
42
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.560
I find sleep, especially when they're a couple of months old,
43
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.760
is when it becomes a big hot question as well.
44
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.959
And probably due to a lot of that, the baby
45
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.319
can't communicate with us other than you know, to cry.
46
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:58.000
It's like we don't know the answers, so feeding being
47
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.719
one of those bigger concerns for new parents. Practical advice
48
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.200
that you have would be what to ease their stress.
49
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.199
So take a deep breath whenever you are stressed. Baby,
50
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.719
con sense that you're stressed. Out of our event, we're
51
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.960
going to have a board certified blactation specialist who's also
52
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.919
a pediatrician, doctor Gregory Jelpi, who's going to go over
53
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.400
tips and tricks on breastfeeding, as well as myself, Doctor
54
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.680
Fletchers and doctor Row will go over a little bit
55
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.599
more on formula feeding and all the confusion that comes
56
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.199
with both of those things.
57
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.280
Very cool stuff. Move it over sleep.
58
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.240
What are some safe sleep tips that you'll be covering
59
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.039
and how can parents build healthy sleep habits from the start.
60
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.680
Yes, so from the start it's so important. So we'll
61
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.599
go over the ABC's of sleep sleep which is alone
62
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.319
on their back and in their crib. But also the
63
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.599
pro tip is starting that safe sleep practice even from
64
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.439
their naps at the beginning to kind of get them
65
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:51.680
adjusted and ready for it.
66
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.919
This is Medical Monday, which is of course presented by
67
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:56.319
the folks over at Are Lady to the Lake. We're
68
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.520
talking parenting you baby one on one maybe one oh
69
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.000
one with doctor Megan Smith.
70
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.439
This morning all right, rewind the clock. We're good.
71
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.039
Seventeen and a half years when I was when we
72
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.280
were leaving the hospital with our first I can remember
73
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.439
going over and over and over again how to do
74
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.439
the swaddling, how to do the swaddling, and then you
75
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:15.879
go to get the car to bring the baby home.
76
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.080
It's like, I can't buckle this with the baby swaddled.
77
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.960
Let's talk car seat safety, critical part of the event
78
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.039
coming up. Give me some common mistakes.
79
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:24.240
That you see.
80
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.000
I think the most common mistake that I see parents
81
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.280
do is they add extra stuff to the car seat.
82
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.280
And so what's going to be really great about this
83
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.599
event is we're going to have certified passenger Safety technicians
84
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.479
or cpsps for sure, going to come and teach us
85
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.120
a little bit about how to make sure that that
86
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.080
car seat is safe for a baby. Because you're right,
87
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.960
it's so confusing if you've never put a baby in
88
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.560
a car seat before, it's hard to explain, and so
89
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.120
having someone give you a hands on visual is going
90
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:52.960
to be so helpful.
91
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:59.039
And look, it's so obvious in hindsight, right for those
92
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.639
that are already parents that they're listening right now, Yes,
93
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.000
everything is obvious in hindsight, but rewind the clock and
94
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.120
put yourself in the shoes of that first time parent,
95
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.400
because yeah, there was a lot of that where it's
96
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:11.960
not intuitive.
97
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.360
Absolutely not, especially when you're sleep deprived in these first
98
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.680
couple of weeks of their life.
99
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.120
Yeah, also true as a pediatrician, what are some of
100
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.920
the more common questions or misconceptions you hear during the
101
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:26.319
early newborn visits that you'll tackle at the event as well.
102
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.240
I think one of the most common misconceptions that I
103
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.800
hear is that most or more expensive equals better quality,
104
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.120
and so we'll go over that with car seats and
105
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.839
formula and everything in between. But another common misconception is
106
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.839
that crying needs something matter, and we'll go over what
107
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.600
that looks like to help soothe your newborn.
108
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.439
Give me some examples of where crying is not does
109
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:49.480
not require attention.
110
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.040
So a healthy baby, when nothing else is wrong, they
111
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.319
can cry for up to two hours in a day.
112
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.279
Crying is their way of communicating. They don't quite have
113
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.360
the same voice vocabulary that you and I have, and
114
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.160
so they're trying to tell you something and you will
115
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.920
quickly learn where that crime means that I'm hungry and
116
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.279
this crime means that I have a dirty diaper, but
117
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.879
crying by itself doesn't necessarily mean anything the matter.
118
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.120
Talk about tag teaming as well. Teamwork makes the dream work, right, So, yeah,
119
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.199
this isn't just for the moms.
120
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.959
Right, one hundred percent. Bring Dad, bring grandma, bring whoever
121
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.279
is going to be helping you take care of this baby.
122
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.319
Even though they said they raised you perfectly, everyone can
123
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.800
use a refresher on how the best take care of someone.
124
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.319
We are of course covering parenting you baby one on
125
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.040
one from from our Lady the Lake and of our
126
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.839
Lady Lake is the sponsor of Medical Monday, which you're
127
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.040
listening to right now.
128
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.600
We're talking with doctor Megan Smith.
129
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.519
Got a couple more minutes, Doctor Smith, I want to
130
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.279
ask you about, Oh, you know what, let's step away
131
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.240
from the educational for just a minute. There's a little
132
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.879
bit fun involved here too. You guys have door prizes.
133
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.160
What can you tell me about what folks can win
134
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:55.199
when they come out.
135
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.560
Yeah, so there's going to be a pass and play,
136
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.199
a car seat and a diaper bag that'll be up
137
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.079
for raffle, but there also will be light refreshments and
138
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:04.720
snack for everyone in attendance.
139
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.639
How far along in the pregnancy does someone should someone
140
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.480
be to attend this? I mean just found out you're
141
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.000
pregnant two weeks from being due? Like, where whereabouts is
142
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.199
the right to the right fit to attend?
143
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.519
I think any weird that you are in your pregnancy journey,
144
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.720
even in the trying to conceive faith. We're even happy
145
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.959
to have you after you've had baby and you want
146
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:28.399
to come and learn a little bit more and bring
147
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.160
your little one with us too. So really this is
148
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:31.920
for everyone.
149
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:33.759
How often does the event happen?
150
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.000
This will be our first event, and so I'm hoping
151
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:38.680
that we'll continue to do it annually.
152
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.399
Okay, well so yeah, if it's annually, then yet get
153
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.600
in at whatever point of the pregnancy you're at, because
154
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.319
the next time it rolls around, you'll already be in
155
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.560
the thick of it. New moms, what do you hope
156
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.199
they walk away with after attending parenting you? Maybe one
157
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:54.439
on one?
158
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.720
I think the most important thing that a parent can
159
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:58.839
take away from this is a little bit of confidence.
160
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.319
Of Course, you're still to have questions when your little
161
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.160
one comes once you're in that real time environment, but
162
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.639
knowing that you have a pediatrician on your side and
163
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.399
just a little bit of confidence to go with it,
164
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.839
I think is the maing goal of this event.
165
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.639
Same for the new dads. I would assume absolutely and
166
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:16.519
last one before.
167
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:17.959
You get chat here, doc and I appreciate your time
168
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.639
this morning. How can folks register or learn more about
169
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:21.120
this event?
170
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.240
So as you go to the Children's Hospital website under
171
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.279
our Parenting Youth classes, you can register at Baby one
172
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:29.920
oh one and it's a free event.
173
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.360
Once again, wish we could have rewund the clock by
174
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.319
eighteen years. I would have loved to have had this
175
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.639
when we were first diving into parenting. But it is here,
176
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.160
and it is now, and it is unbelievably valuable for
177
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.240
first time parents. It's called Parenting You Baby one oh one.
178
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.399
She's doctor Megan Smith. Thank you so much for a
179
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:48.360
couple of minutes this morning.
180
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:50.199
Thank you so much.
