can anyone recommend a great hands-on pediatrican on the upper west side? i have a 7 month old and our current practice (khanna, ward, sasala) hasn't been great with giving advice on routine things (feeding solids, sleep schedules etc). i'm a first time mom, so I would like a doc who is a bit more accessible. TIA. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I am a pediatric nurse and know loads of peds. but this is the type of information you get from the nurse, and from other moms too. Eg, introduce solid food one at a time after 6 months, starting w/starches. Sleep is an individual thing and depends on a child. Mostly allow to sleep as much as they want at night and during the day at least wake up after 4 hours [ Reply | More
