The Owner's Manual travels to Golden Gate Sleep Centers in San Ramon, CA to interview Puja Thakkar, DO the founder and director. We discuss how a sleep specialist diagnoses and treats sleep disorders and how sleep problems may present in children who might not seem to have a problem with sleep. We also continue our segment "Pediatric Fun Facts" with a discussion of newborn pooping and how that can change. In addition a listener calls in with a question about "tongue tie."

All in all an exciting and informative episode!!

After a 5 year hiatus, we are back for our 2nd season! I travelled to Oakland, California to meet the team at Cranial Technologies to discuss how they help fix babies with mis-shapen heads. We also bring back "Pediatric Fun Facts" with a discussion about Febrile Seizures in children.

In this episode, Marianne Borden joins me again to continue our series "Pediatric Potpourri" where we discuss several common illnesses that parents will experience with their children. In today's show, we delve into Hand, Foot and Mouth Syndrome, Croup, and RSV. We talk about what to look for, what to do, and when a visit to the child's doctor might be needed.

The segment "Pediatric Fun Facts" explores if a breastfeeding mother's diet can affect a baby's sleep pattern. A call in question about a toddler who gets a facial rash while eating is answered.
