Beverly Hills Pediatrics

Beverly Hills Pediatrics We are doctors who love caring for children of all ages. We want our offices to feel like an extens Dr. Bess and Dr. Scott have created “family room pediatrics”.

About Beverly Hills Pediatrics
Beverly Hills Pediatrics was started by Bess Raker, MD and Scott Cohen, MD, two energetic and experienced pediatricians who wanted to create a fun, hip environment where children of all ages could receive excellent medical care. In late 2014, pediatric after hours clinic services were added with the addition of Beverly Hills Pediatrics After Hours (Pediatric Urgent Care). From the children’s play area to the colorful accent walls, the office has been designed to feel like an extension of your home. Inessa Grinberg, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.A.P. joined the Beverly Hills Pediatrics family in 2010. Dr. Inessa is thrilled to be part of such an amazing practice. Please explore our website and be sure to read about our wonderful doctors and staff! We are excited to meet you!

👶🖐️ Hands in the mouth? Not so fast… it’s not always teething!

Around 4 months, babies discover their hands — and suddenly everything goes straight to their mouth. Drooling, chewing on knuckles, sucking on fingers… it’s all completely developmentally appropriate.

This stage is about exploration, not necessarily teeth. In fact, most babies won’t start teething for a few more months.

Good news? You don’t need to “treat” this as a problem. Offer safe, wonderful toys to chew on — or simply let baby explore with their own little hands. That’s how they learn. 💛

Are you struggling with newborn sleep? 😴
Is your baby sleeping all day… but wide awake at night? It might be day–night confusion — and we can help.

🌙 Newborn Sleep Simplified: Calm Nights & Happy Days

In this class, Dr. Susie Menkes, pediatric sleep expert and founder of Healthy Little Sleepers, breaks down why newborn sleep can feel so unpredictable in the early weeks.

Newborns aren’t born with established circadian rhythms or the ability to produce melatonin (our powerful sleep hormone). So they truly don’t know the difference between day and night yet.

One of the most important ways to gently support better nighttime sleep?
✨ Offering full feeds at least every 3 hours during the day to help fill those bellies and reduce frequent night wakings.

If you want practical, evidence-based strategies to calm a fussy baby, read sleepy cues, and set your newborn up for sleep success, this class is for you.

Spots are limited — we’ll see you February 17th 💙

Parents ask these questions all the time 👀
💭 How much tummy time should my baby really be doing?
💭 When should my baby roll, sit, crawl, stand, and walk?
💭 Is crawling actually necessary—or can babies skip it?
💭 What can I do at home to support my child’s development?

During this supportive, in-person class, Daniella will walk you through what typical development looks like and empower you with practical tools and techniques to confidently support your baby’s gross motor milestones—without stress or overwhelm.

“I tried everything… and I still couldn’t exclusively breastfeed.”

Mom guilt around feeding is REAL — and it’s heavier than most people talk about.

There is so much pressure — from ourselves, from social media, from doctors, from comparison — to believe there’s only one “right” way to feed your baby.
But the truth is: there is more than one healthy, loving feeding journey.

✨ Exclusive breastfeeding
✨ Supplementing
✨ Formula feeding

All of them can be filled with love, bonding, and a healthy baby.

If you’ve ever questioned yourself, felt like you failed, or carried silent guilt about how you fed your baby — this message is for you.
You’re not alone. You’re not doing it wrong. And you are an incredible mom. 🤍

🎥 Watch until the end — you may need to hear this today.

Newborn sleepy cues can be so subtle, especially in the first month 🤍
Instead of waiting for fussiness or crying, look for early signs like:
👀 staring off
😴 reduced engagement
👁️ redness around the eyes
🥱 yawning
🌬️ hiccups

By around 1 hour of awake time (including feeding!), most newborns are already ready for sleep — sometimes even sooner. Catching these cues early helps prevent overtiredness and supports healthier newborn sleep.

🚗 Is your child really ready to ride without a booster?

✅ Shoulder belt across the mid-shoulder (not the neck)

✅ Lap belt low on the hips

✅ Knees bend naturally at the seat edge

❌ Slouching, belt on the stomach, or belt on the neck = booster still needed

Many kids aren’t ready for a seat belt without a booster until 10–12 years old — and that’s okay! (Even if their friends are doing things differently) Proper fit = better protection.

When in doubt, keep the booster. Safety > convenience/peer pressure 💙

Tummy time tips for newborns with Dr. Inessa 💙

If you’re wondering how to do tummy time with your newborn, here’s a simple way to start once the umbilical cord falls off.
Place baby on a firm surface, bring their elbows under their shoulders, and let them practice lifting their head. This helps with neck strength, core development, and helps keep the back of the head nice and round.

Start with just a few seconds — and increase time as the baby grows! Your Baby will get stronger over time.

Prevent choking with one simple rule 👇
If your toddler won’t sit to eat… they’re probably not that hungry.
Running, climbing, or walking with food = a major choking risk.
Set the boundary: “When we eat, we sit. If you get up, we’re done.”
It’s not punishment — it’s protection. 💛
Save this for later + share with another parent who needs it!
