Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show - A Doctor’s Take on Your Newborn Worries

On this episode: Zak sits down with Dr. Parga Belinkie, pediatrician and new parent whisperer, to talk about those intense, often foggy first months with a newborn. They get into what matters most in a pediatrician-parent relationship, what’s actually worth worrying about (and what isn’t), and how to navigate the early avalanche of advice, anxiety, and sleep deprivation. It’s a conversation that grounds you in the basics—without making you feel like you have to get it all right.Join us on Facebook and email us at [email protected] to ask questions, share feedback, and suggest future topics.
