Is your baby eating solids? How much ends up in her mouth vs. on the floor? 👶🏻👶🏼👶🏽👶🏾👶🏿
At 8 to 12 months, your baby needs between 750 and 900 calories each day, about 400 to 500 of which should come from breast milk or formula. Check out this sample menu and remember, variety in foods is key!

Obituaries

Happy birthday to Dr. Laura Pasternak, founder of Whole Child Pediatrics, who would have been 65 years old today.

Laura was my companion for 28 years, my wife for 21 years and a woman of exceptional strength and talent.

She accomplished more in her 53 years than most of us hope to achieve in a long lifetime.

She was a doctor, a freedom fighter, a world traveler and a fierce advocate for social justice and for everything she believed in. She didn’t do things halfway.

Her anti-apartheid work in the 1970's and 1980's took her from Michigan to New York to Angola to Zimbabwe to the African National Congress refugee camps in Tanzania. Her passion for children's health took her to Medellin, Colombia and to Brazzaville, Congo. She worked at the United Nations, visited the Soviet Union and built houses in Cuba.

And along the way, she managed to win two national swimming championships, compete in the Olympic Trials and get ranked in the top 25 swimmers in the world.

Then she went to medical school, became a pediatrician and founded a medical practice, Whole Child Pediatrics, that is alive and thriving and getting ready to celebrate our 20th year in business.

And she raised three wonderful children.

I will never truly understand how this woman of unparalleled inner and outer beauty and achievement allowed me to share 28 years with her, through good and bad times. But I will be forever grateful for the time we spent together.

Happy birthday, Laura. You left us too soon. But the world is a better place because of you. We all miss you very much!

She loved the beach. So today, our daughter Julia and I paid tribute to her along the beach in North Carolina. She would have loved the day fully.

Laura's obituary was in the Washington Post at:

Severe allergic reactions are unpredictable - they can happen anywhere, anytime. Make sure you create an Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan for your child. Anyone caring for a child with an allergy that can be life-threatening must know how to recognize anaphylaxis and know when and how to give the lifesaving treatment for severe allergic reactions. Do you have a plan? http://ow.ly/hlyI30pQzew #BeAnaphylaxisPrepared

A severe allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis, is rare in young babies, but can happen. The main medicine to treat anaphylaxis is called epinephrine. If your baby is diagnosed with an allergy and is at risk for anaphylaxis, it’s very important to always have an epinephrine injector on hand at all times. Pediatrician Shelly Vaziri Flais, MD Author Page explains how to #BeAnaphylaxisPrepared.

How do #vaccines work to help your baby’s immune system protect them from serious diseases?
.
Vaccines contain a small number of weakened or dead antigens (parts of germs) that make the immune system go to work. Once vaccinated, if your baby encounters that germ again, their body already knows how to fight it – and keeps your little one safe from serious diseases. Check out this #HowVaccinesWork video to learn more!
