By

You don’t always remember to ask every question at your child’s check-up. When something comes up with your child and you’re looking for some answers, you don’t want to wait. That’s why it’s good to know you can go online and find an abundance of information from knowledgeable sources.

Here are the pediatrician blogs you should check out:

  1. Mama Doc
    The author of this blog, Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, is both a mom and pediatrician. She started this parenting blog at Seattle Children’s Hospital in 2010 to share her insights for keeping your kids healthy. Dr. Swanson says, “Parents just want to do what is right. It’s the defining what’s right that, on occasion, remains elusive.” Read our interview with Dr. Swanson: Doctors Blogging? A Wildly Successful Case Study.
  2. 700 Children’s
    Named for the street address of Nationwide Children’s Hospital*, the 700 Children’s blog features current pediatric health care information and research. Their own team of pediatric experts contributes to this trove of information. Our favorite feature is how searchable the blog is.
  3. The Pedia Blog
    Dr. Ned Ketyer, M.D. is one of the founding members and former president of the Pediatrics Alliance. The Pedia Blog shares cutting-edge research and news you can use to keep your kids safe and healthy.
  4. Pediatrics Now
    Dr. Gwenn O’Keeffe allows you to sort through health topics by age and get information in categories such as seasonal issues to emotions and development.  However, her main focus is healthy digital living, providing information on the digital world’s impact on kids and families. Her blog is filled with cybersafety tips and resources.
  5. Two Peas in a Pod
    Dr. Julie Kardos and Dr. Naline Lai are both parents and board-certified pediatricians at The CHOP Care Network. Their pediatric blog covers important topics from newborns to teens. They also have a pediatric podcast for parents on the go who don’t have time to read the blog.
