    Kids Considered™

    Kids Considered™ is a UC Davis Children’s Hospital podcast, featuring two pediatricians who discuss child health topics of interest to parents in plain, non-medical language. New subjects are considered in every episode, discussing issues that apply from healthy pregnancy to birth to teen years. We have different styles of practice and viewpoints, but our goals are the same: we want to optimize children’s health and development, and help parents understand current recommendations and why policies are the way they are. We aim to provide accurate and timely information in an entertaining manner to increase the confidence of parents as they address the sometimes confusing parenting issues of our day. Although our podcast is aimed mainly for parents, pediatricians and other health care providers might find our discussions of interest. And children might want to get a behind the scenes look at what their parents are listening to.

    Throwing Some Shade: A Discussion of Sun Safety Jun 22, 2020
    Show notes

    Sun exposure and sunburns increase the risk of skin cancer. That’s why it’s important to protect the skin of children from harmful UV rays. In this episode we discuss choosing the right sunscreen, how to apply it effectively, why to avoid tanning beds, the importance of sunglasses, how to treat sunburn and some ways to limit overall sun exposure. What about the “base tan” or the use of sunless tanners? We discuss this too. Don’t get burned, listen to this episode instead.

    Coronavirus–Special Update Edition 17 June 2020 Jun 17, 2020

    In this special episode, Dr. Lena and Dr. Dean talk about disease due to the novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss major developments this week including the current status of the pandemic, how easing social distancing has impacted cases, how Black Americans are disproportionately affected, and the surprising new evidence about the effectiveness of masks in reducing transmission.

    Note that the information provided was accurate at the time this episode was recorded, but that this is a rapidly changing situation.

    This episode written by Drs. Dean Blumberg and Lena van der List.

    Supplemental information:

    • Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) COVID-19 Projections for US
    • CDC Coronavirus Disease 2019 Case Surveillance — United States, January 22–May 30, 2020, MMWR early release June 15 2020
    • Stutt et al A modelling framework to assess the likely effectiveness of facemasks in combination with 'lock-down' in managing the COVID-19 pandemic
    • Chu et al Physical distancing, face masks, and eye protection to prevent person-to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis

    Photo of Figure 4 from The Proceedings of the Royal Society Stutt article showing the effect on Re of the proportion of the population wearing a facemask. The solid line is the mean and the shaded area shows the 95% confidence interval. By the public wearing an effective facemask all of the time (rather than just starting when COVID-19 symptoms appear), the Re can be brought below 1, leading to the pandemic dying out.

    Soothing Your Fussy Baby Jun 08, 2020
    Show notes

    Crying is an important form of communication by babies, and babies can cry as soon as they are born. The crying generally peaks at about 6 weeks of age, then usually decreases to about an hour a day at about 3 months of age. This can be very distressing to parents. If the underlying cause isn't obvious, such as hunger or a diaper that needs to be changed, then how can parents approach a crying baby? In this episode we welcome Psychotherapist Nicole Wiggins to discuss approaches to soothing a crying baby, getting in touch with different regulatory states, strengthening the parent-baby relationship, when the caretaker needs to take care of themselves, how to get support for parents who are stressed or overwhelmed, and more.
