 August is National Immunization Awareness Month! Vaccines are safe and effective. There are very few reasons to not vaccinate, and none apply to healthy people. East Bay Pediatrics has a minimum vaccine requirement to make sure that those who aren't healthy or old enough to be vaccinated will not be at risk in our office
 The first week of August is World Breastfeeding Week. East Bay Pediatrics supports all of our breastfeeding mothers. Ask our lactation nurse Michaela for more information and check out this information from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
In a letter to the editor of the New York Times in response to the front page story titled “U.S. Delegation Disrupts Accord on Breast Milk,” Colleen Kraft, MD, FAAP, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and Lisa Hollier, MD, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, write, “The discussions at the World Health Assembly reveal that mothers still lack the support they need to initiate and continue breast-feeding their infants.” Drs. Kraft and Hollier conclude, “As physicians who care for women and children, we urge the United States and every country to protect, promote and support breast-feeding for the health of all women, children and families."
