Well-child visits are a great time for parents to gather information from doctors to help their children remain healthy and injury free. Pediatricians review safety measures, administer vaccines, and discuss ongoing medical information. But sometimes the information comes fast and furious, and parents don’t remember the details. Or maybe they fail to ask questions, due to time limitations or distractions (such as a restless toddler or crying baby).
And for some, with limited access to health care, these visits and conversations don’t happen at all.
So where can parents and caregivers turn to get expert, validated health information for their children?
