About the Author
I was born in New York City but spent most of my childhood in Connecticut. After high school I stayed local and received my undergraduate degree from Yale University, and then my M.D. from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Following completion of my pediatrics residency training at the University of Michigan, I accepted a position as a pediatric hospitalist in New York City and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Columbia University, where I still work today. My training and practice mean that it is literally my job to stay up to date on all of the data behind what experts say are the safest and best choices for parents to make for their children. I'm also a mother of a young daughter, and know firsthand the challenge of sorting through conflicting pediatrician and internet recommendations. It's why I'm here to explain how pediatrician parents actually raise their own kids so you can make the safest, sanest choices for your little ones. Yes, the Internet broke parenting. But I'm here to fix it.
