    Hi so so glad to have found your Chanel. My son is so determined and shows the same enthusiasm you show as you talk about your life as a Paediatrician . whilst he is only 13 years old can you offer any support or advise as how me as a parent can get him more excited and encourage him to pursue this career . what books he should read, where he should start thinking of volunteering over the holidays when he gets older. I would appreciate any advise you can offer .

    Amazing to hear he has such an interest in pediatrics! I recommend shadowing different doctors once he gets to high school and college years!! The exposure to the field can be really helpful before making final decisions! Usually children’s hospitals have lots of volunteer opportunities and is a great place to start looking! Hope that helps!! Best of luck to him!

    hi. loving your content. i have a question. are there solid foods that are more likely to cause the child to vomit? also, would you consider making a video about SIDS? I've heard that, while a lot is still unknown yet, there are certain things you should do and other things you should avoid.

  • @theprimarypediatrician

    Thank you for your kind words! There aren't foods that necessarily cause more vomiting however in children that are sensitive to certain textures they may have gagging and vomiting with textures that they dislike. This is usually child dependent and can vary greatly! Thank you for the video idea, I think that is a super important topic!

    The reason why is because it can cause infant botulism. Which is a intestinal toxemia so basically spores of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum or related spicies are swallowed they temporarily colonize a infants large intestine and produces botulinum neurotoxin.

    Would love to hear about tantrums and toddler thought process more. My girl is 2.5 and has very advanced verbal skills, but the tantrums are still decently frequent. She is strong willed and when she says no she means it! I love that about her, but sometimes we just have to put our shoes on and go, or whatever. Funny thing that happened recently. Our son is 2 months old and I was changing his diaper. Sis was helping me. “Mommy, when I wore a diaper did I have a penis too?” 😂

    Ah too funny 🤣 what a fun age! I’m going to work on a video on tantrums, thank you! For strong willed kids sometimes making things a game can be really helpful (ex. let’s put our shoes on before the shoe alligator comes and eats our shoes, or let’s see if we can say the whole alphabet before we’re done putting our shoes on). Distraction also helps at this age too!! Thanks for watching! :)

    Hi! How much nutritional training do paediatricians in the US receive? I’ve read according to surveys doctors have less than 20 hours in medical school and most of it is with regards to what’s going on at a cellular level, not overall health. I’m genuinely curious as well as concerned because paediatricians are often viewed as experts when the numbers say that’s not the case. Shouldn’t a registered paediatric dietician do that part? 😬

  • @theprimarypediatrician
    @theprimarypediatrician9 ай бұрын

    Love this question, thank you for your input! Although I can only speak for my own medical training, I did receive a great foundation on nutrition (both from a cellular standpoint and a health promotion standpoint). I will admit a large portion of my nutrition training I learned in my pediatric residency and through CME (continuing medical education) as nutrition is an particular interest of mine. The American Academy of Pediatrics lists nutrition as a crucial part of the well visit and should absolutely be touched on by a pediatrician. Pediatric dietitians are an amazing part of the medical team and are the absolute experts on nutrition. I refer patients to them frequently, especially when it is anything beyond the general counseling I do at well visits. Children with unique nutrition needs or health concerns should definitely follow with dietitian, too. Most pediatric gastroenterologist offices actually have dietitians there, so kids can see their pediatric doctors and dietitians all at the same time! Hope that helped address your question.

    That is a really good question! I think the biggest thing is practice! If you have friends or family members with children that's a great way to start! You get enough exposure to children that by the time you are fully trained as a Pediatrician you are completely fluent it communicating with babies, children and adolescents and their parents!

    i work in a daycare so I can help you out. A pretty easy ice breaker is asking about their interests. For instance even though I'm 23, if I see a kid in my checkout (local homegoods store) has a Pokemon tshirt, that's a pretty easy "in". "Who's your favorite Pokemon?" And the discussion goes from there. I'd have you look up some Pokemon so you're able to give an honest answer back when the question is turned around on you.
