Eat, Sleep, Poop: A Common Sense Guide to Your Baby’s First Year
As the title of this show says, young children pretty much just eat, sleep, and poop, but that doesn’t necessarily make the life of a new parent easier. We interviewed pediatrician and new dad, Dr. Scott Cohen, author of Eat, Sleep, Poop: A Common Sense Guide to Your Baby’s First Year. We covered breastfeeding, care of twins, issues of prematurity, when to introduce solid foods, and how to get your child to sleep through the night.
