@chomilomd.comWe came "this" close to a 5 yo kid getting shot by ICE
Who wants to bet if that happened they'd say the adult was using them as a "shield"?
What will it take for folks to understand how our silence when Palestinian or Black lives are dehumanized makes us ALL less safe
Especially our kids.

@bridgetmcgann.medsky.socialWhat our paper DOES say:
✅ Infant feeding decisions are usually not a choice freely made
✅ Parents are getting screwed over by a broken information ecosystem
✅ #Pediatricians aren’t getting adequate training and support in navigating these discussions with their patients
@bridgetmcgann.medsky.social“'Data-driven' economist says #breastfeeding doesn't matter.”
"Lactation consultants starve babies"
This is what #BreastfeedingDenialism looks like. Our new paper argues that addressing #misinformation and #CompassionateCare are NOT conflicting goals.

@macupediatrics.bsky.socialMoving from pediatric to adult healthcare can be challenging. McMaster researchers are bringing a youth- and family-informed Transition Toolkit to five clinics at MCH to help make preparing for adult care part of routine healthcare.

It’s been a wonderfully hectic and inspiring weekend, now a couple more days to cram in as many sessions as possible (plus bookmark the recorded ones for later) 🤓

@drjenchen4kids.medsky.socialGlad the kids survived, but
1) Don’t take kids to a chiro, period 🤦🏻♀️
2) The only safe “raw” milk is breastmilk (and even then donor milk is frozen/pasteurized + tested) 🤱🏻
3) Ask us, your pediatricians! Constipation is easily treatable w/out risking kids’ lives 💩

Vaping has ‘alarming’ risks for children.The use of e-cigarettes — vapes — is on the rise, but it carries serious health risks for children…

@jhop.bsky.socialA totally new phenomenon in the world of antivaxxers are the parents that just...quit. Families with fully vaccinated older kids that show up at an 11 yo well check and refuse vaccination. Poisoned by too much time online listening to malicious voices such as RFK Jr. #pedsky
@drruth.bsky.socialThree weeks after the FDA approved updated COVID vaccines, the CDC has not yet opened ordering through Vaccines for Children, a program covering about half of US kids. HHS says procurement decisions are being finalized, leaving states and families waiting. buff.ly/Mrk0j2z
