Talking Points
Eat Sleep Play Love
Parents and caregivers are swamped, sleepEat Sleep Play Love
deprived and exhausted when a baby enters
the family and all the medical golden
nuggets required for the first 2 years can get
lost in the chaos. What parents need is bite

information to make solid and informed
decisions about their child's health and that's
exactly what Dr Preeya Alexander provides. All the very common thoughts: What should I be using on my baby's skin? What are the extra vaccines I can consider? When and how do I start solids?
