Expectant parents in NYC are invited to a talk and Q&A with Pediatric Associates, a well-loved and long-standing practice with three locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about the practice, meet a couple of the doctors, and get some valuable advice.
Dr. Dina DiMaggio and Dr. Lauren Boehm will share insights on how to pick a pediatrician, which items to have on your registry and which to skip, what to expect at the hospital pediatrician visit and the first few in-office visits, and more. Plus there will be a chance to ask whatever questions are on your mind.
AND, one lucky attendee will win a diaper bag full of pediatrician-recommended newborn essentials, helpful medicine dosing cards, a handout on “what to expect at the newborn and first month visits” and a copy of Dr. DiMaggio’s book The Pediatrician's Guide to Feeding Babies and Toddlers: Practical Answers To Your Questions on Nutrition, Starting Solids, Allergies, Picky Eating, and More.
This a free event, but RSVPs are required by 5pm ET on the day of the talk. Everyone who signs up will receive an email ahead of time with instructions for joining via Zoom, and a recording will be sent to registrants afterward in case you miss it.
Please note that this event is for those living in NYC only.
By signing up for this event, you agree to be added to the Mom Crew and Pediatric Associates mailing lists. You may unsubscribe at any time. If you would like to join without opting in, please email Mom Crew.
