24.01.2022 Has your child been prescribed antibiotics and you dont know why? Make sure you ask: "What are we treating with this antibiotic?"

24.01.2022 Id love for the Kids Consult followers to take this survey is possible in order for us to develop the service to be as useful to as many people as possible. Many thanks!

23.01.2022 The worst part? Its often women guilt-tripping women...

23.01.2022 Calling all Real Parents... I rarely express opinion here on this page, but I was driven to do so today somewhat out of exasperation. One of the key skills I tr...y to impart to new parents in particular is to back their own judgment, not listen to what most other people are saying, strive to be confident and maintain a normal life balance between parent/husband/wife/individual. Kids Consult is part of my attempt to impart knowledge and educate parents in confident parenting. This is because everywhere you turn, there is someone telling parents how to be, what to do, when to do it, etc etc. Im sure many of you know the "My Day on a Plate" column in one of the Sunday papers. Im not here to criticise the nutritional advice offered, although it could be said that when youre sleep-deprived, irritated and frustrated by life (read: kids) the last thing you really care about is the protein and fibre content of your lunch. What irks me the most is so-called "celebrities", especially the mummy celebrities (and there are many) waxing lyrical about their perfectly curated diet of acai, soba noodles and liquorice tea. Really??? The mums I see in the real world dont have the time or the energy (or the interest) in fabricating such perfect household lives when in fact life is pretty chaotic. The mums I see would love to sit down at the end of the day with a bottle of red and a block of chocolate, some peace and quiet, and a minute or two to themselves. Its highly unlikely theyre preparing their own organic lunch for the next day, and equally unlikely they have even thought that far ahead. But is this really a problem? Should we all be aspiring to be treating our bodies as temples and our lives as a little school project that scores full marks? If you want to do that, good on you. But the thing that worries and amazes me is that the celebrity mummy is by definition female, and completely undermines their fellow mothers own confidence by continually sprouting how perfect their own life is. So on the one hand, Im trying to tell parents to be confident and back their own judgment most of the time, yet they have to do that in the face of fake information that can only undermine the very confidence Im trying to instil. So if the B-graders kept their publicity-seeking "my life is so perfect" lives to themselves, the real mums life would be so much better for it. Dr Scott Dunlop Consultant Paediatrician

22.01.2022 Ever wondered about "developmental regression"? Dr Dunlop was asked to provide expert insight.

21.01.2022 How has your babys reflux affected you?

19.01.2022 *** July 1 Immunisation Changes *** Confusion reigns...hopefully the table I've created here can help those wade through the permutations and combinations depen...ding on where your child is up to. Please share with those you know who have young children as there isn't much official information out there at all, and many immunisation providers ie GPs aren't aware of the new changes Dr Scott Dunlop Consultant Paediatrician

19.01.2022 Does anyone know the explanation for this? No, its not a miracle...

19.01.2022 The obesity epidemic is out of control - adults and kids. Weve been wasting money on education for years and things keep getting worse. Until obesity is called out for what it is, nothing will change. There is no such thing as "healthy obese"

18.01.2022 We will continue to rail against this nonsense. As doctors, we have to provide evidence to parents that the treatment we recommend has been proven to be safe and beneficial. Why is it that snake oil peddlers dont?

16.01.2022 There are many ways to "sleep train", but does anything actually reliably work? Share your stories here...

16.01.2022 The secret is out - next year we will be combining forces and moving into the rooms of Sydney Paediatrics in Hurstville. We also wish farewell and wish good lu...ck to our long time secretary Michelle who is starting a new chapter of her life in Tasmania in 2018. Until then, we wish all of our clients a very merry and peaceful Christmas break and a happy New Year. We hope you get to spend some chilled out time with your families.

15.01.2022 Dr Dunlop recently commented on sleep over the holiday period

14.01.2022 Quite often I am told by parents that their child is Penicillin allergic - quite often though parents dont know how or why that came about. Im always careful ...not to contradict them, but this study shows that many kids are falsely thought to be Penicillin allergic. The testing process to prove Penicillin allergy is complex, but probably worth it for those who are suspect. See more

13.01.2022 The recommendations are there to save your babys life - dont allow a tragedy to occur by not listening to the evidence!

12.01.2022 This is just the tip of the iceberg. The number of unqualified people giving advice about parenting and childrens health is ever increasing

11.01.2022 It is amazing how people wanting to believe cast aside any notion of a need for proof. I wonder what the next cult will be??

06.01.2022 One of the more absurd anti-vaxxer stories weve seen...perhaps their right to Medicare should be re-considered??? Suddenly vaccination might seem more palatable to them...

06.01.2022 What do parents out there think of the Federal Governments Physical Activity Guidelines? My opinion... I think a lot of guidelines such as these are a potentia...l waste of time and a lot of money...the parents who probably do need to read these, and follow them, are the exact parents who ARENT reading them! Would these guidelines make you change your parenting behaviour? Interested to know your thoughts... See more

06.01.2022 FAST FACT: Not all babies and children with reflux will respond to Losec (Omeprazole). Some have a gene that can make Losec less effective. Worth considering if treatment isnt working.

03.01.2022 "If were not aware, as parents, of what were modeling for our kids, then there are high prices to pay." We cant expect kids to get off their devices when we are glued to ours.... http://www.chicagotribune.com//ct-parents-technology-addic
