Antibiotic Scorecard: 1 Easy Way to Change the World for Your Child
Your choice of chain restaurants could help make a profound difference. Thanks to the help of some impressive organizations, we now have an antibiotic Scorecard to help us along the way.
Antibiotic overuse is resulting in a crisis of antibiotic resistance and is changing the microbiome of our children – the vibrant microscopic world that lives on, in, and around their growing bodies.
Antibiotic overuse makes all of us less safe, and children are among the most vulnerable. Already, more than 2 million Americans get an antibiotic-resistant infection each year. Around 23,000 people will die from these infections.

From Omnivorous to Picky Eater – What Changed?
Dr. Greene’s take on a picky eater…
Ever wonder why a 9-month-old will put anything in her mouth and the same 19-month-old refuses to eat anything new? This activity is so common that there’s even a name for it – neophobia or “the fear of new things”.
After observing my patients go through this over and over again I had to ask myself why? And I came to the conclusion kids were actually designed that way.
In this week’s video, I describe food neophobia and why it has an important place in childhood development.
If you have a baby who is still in the “hummm, let’s...

Babies ’ Development and the Role of Food
Babies’ development from conception to age three is mind-boggling. Newborns resting in their parents arms are not very mobile and don’t have much to say. By the time they’re three years old, they have learned to roll over, sit up, get themselves precariously standing on two feet. They’ve learned to walk and even run. They can maneuver stairs, stand on one foot, and jump with both feet leaving the ground.
Perhaps most impressively, they’ve learned hundreds of words. Amazingly, they’re already putting the words together in sentences and speaking with plurals. They can tell you what’s...

Penis Size During Puberty
Guest Author: Cheryl Greene
Background
When babies are born, “It’s a girl” or “It’s a boy” used to be the words parents were waiting to hear from the doctor or midwife. Today, parents have the option of finding out the biological gender of their baby long before birth. Now, they wait to hear “your baby is healthy!”
A number of years ago a parent wrote to us with a question about the size of her baby‘s penis. Dr. Greene answered it in detail in a Q&A titled Penis Size Defined. Theis post was specifically addressing issues of penis size in babies and has nothing to d...
