Notes for parents
Plain answers to the questions I get asked most, one topic at a time.
Eczema in a Colorado winter: why the cream stops working in November
Dry air, forced heat, hot baths and a gut that is quietly involved. Why so many children's eczema flares between November and March along the Front Range, and what I look at beyond the tube of cream.
Why does my kid get sick every fall?
Daycare season, the cold that never quite leaves, and the third round of antibiotics before Thanksgiving. What is normal, what is not, and what I look at when a child catches everything.
Constipation in kids: what to try before the laxative
Why so many young children get backed up, what I look at first, and the handful of changes that help most families before anything stronger is needed.
Looking for the full picture on a condition? The pages on constipation, eczema, frequent illness, developmental concerns and nutrition are where I go deepest.
Something on your mind that isn't here yet?
