24/7 Baby Doctor A Harvard Pediatrician

The 24/7 Baby Doctoris the essential twenty-first-century reference guide for new parents. Doing away with the often intimidating "What to Expect" approach of so many parenting books, Dr. Victoria Rogers McEvoy coaches readers in an encouraging, you-can-do-this voice, telling parents what they can do and when they need to consult their doctor. She asks (and answers) all key questions, on topics such as sleep, food, crying, stooling, spitting up, development, health and safety, and technology. She offers evidence-based solutions that reflect American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations and the latest researchwhether on vaccines, autism, or cognitive products that supposedly make babies smarter. And, where possible, Dr. McEvoy gives parents the parameters to make their own choices.

Victoria Rogers McEvoy, M.D. is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Chief of Pediatrics at Massachusetts General West Medical Group, based at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. She is also a senior pediatrician on staff at the hospital. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
