Listen: Dr. Hoffman “You might be panicking about the wrong stuff” on The Snooze Button Podcast with Brittany Sheehan

Listen on Apple or Spotify. Thanks to our host, Brittany Sheehan, mom and sleep and potty training expert of Brittany Sheehan Sleep and The Snooze Button.

Overview: Cold & flu season is upon us, which means lots of trips to the pediatrician. But how do you know what warrants a trip and what doesn’t? Dr. Judith Hoffman, a veteran pediatrician and founding partner of the busy & beloved Manhattan Valley Pediatrics in NYC is here to give it to us straight.

 

(spoiler – weird poop colors are probably not a problem, snoring possibly is).

 

We also get into some of my favorite topics that parents panic about:

  • sterilizing bottles
  • nightly bathes
  • toddler milk consumption
  • and even signs of PPD you might not be aware of.

I learned a ton in this episode, and I have a feeling you will too!
