We often say that babies don’t come with a manual, but that’s not entirely true. Today Dr. Goldstein talks about Baby 411 - a book so good that you may as well throw your phone and computer in the trash (after you delete your browsing history). This book is a comprehensive, well organized , and very accurate guide to the first 12 months.

If you want to learn more about our practice, meet some of our providers, hear about Year 1, and eat some good pizza register for our next in-office Meet & Greet , which is May 20 at 6pm. We have other talks coming up too - on May 6 Dr. Ramsey is talking about breast feeding, and on June 10 Dr. Goldstein will discuss sleep in the first year. These are free, and you can register at www.nwcppediatrics.com .

We like reading yes we do… this book has been in the news quite a bit recently, and if you’re one of the many who want your family to cut down on screens and ultraprocessed foods , we think it’s worth checking out. If you do, let us know your thoughts !

Even though we are already panicking that our weather app says 8” of snow next weekend, we hope you are all enjoying this one ! Did you know that we have a blog on our website? Well we do. Dr. Unger and NU Med Student Ravi just made a new one.

You can check it out at www.nwcppediatrics.com , and while you’re there you can register for upcoming talks! We’ve got a Meet & Greet this week, as well as upcoming talks on nutrition and puberty. These are all free, but if you want we will print you a gift certificate and make it look like it costs $500 so that you seem like a great gifter!

We made it to the Month of Love, and one thing we love talking about is sleep! Another is Bridgerton. On Wednesday, February 25 at 6pm we are giving a presentation on one of those things - Navigating Sleep in the First Year.

This is a free event (so you’re guaranteed to get your money’s worth), but we do ask that you register on our website (www.nwcppediatrics.com). Share with a friend ! Maybe several if you have that many.

Welcome back everyone! Looks like 2026 is picking up where 2025 left off - with a seemingly arbitrary and confusing recommendation from the CDC about the vaccine schedule.

Dr. Goldstein discussed it on the news tonight, but if you’re one of the millions of people who didn’t catch that, the bottom line is that we don’t foresee any changes in Illinois anytime soon. Other than stoking confusion and frustration, the CDC’s latest update is unlikely to do much.

On another note, we have 2 upcoming talks. Wednesday January 21 at 6pm is our meet & greet for new parents, and on Wednesday February 25 at 6pm we will have a talk about sleep during the first year. If your child isn’t a great sleeper after that free talk, we will give you your money back. Registration for both will be up on our website this week (www.nwcppediatrics.com).

Happy Holiday Weeks! The office will close at noon on 12.24 and 12.31 - there is NO AFTERNOON WALK-IN ON 12.24 and 12.31. We are also closed on 12.25 and 1.1.

We wish all of you a wonderful holiday season and a healthy 2026! We are eternally grateful for the trust you put in our family to care for your families.

We have alot of exciting things in store for 2026. Maybe some new faces and spaces, a series of special events, and hopefully new ways of making fun of Dr. King.

We do have a meet & greet on Wednesday January 21 at 6pm. A great last minute gift for friends would be to tell them to register for it on our website (www.nwcppediatrics.com)!

Be well yogis!

NWCP spending our snow day tearing through social media trends, getting ready for what the CDC is gonna throw at us this week!

For those wondering , there are no changes to the vaccine schedule at this time, and we will continue to follow the schedule recommended by the AAP and Illinois Department of Public Health. We do not anticipate any issues with vaccine availability or insurance coverage, but will update you if there are any.

Some info/thoughts on the ACIP meeting. TL;DR, on our “Sky is Falling Scale” it’s a mixed bag - while it is unlikely that there will be any changes in Illinois in vaccine recommendations or school requirements, the damage being done to the confidence in a massive public health success story, and the confusion being sowed for both parents and providers, make this a pretty big sky is falling moment in pediatrics.

The office will be closed on Thursday. Whether you are working out with your son and 97 10/12 year old mother-in-law like Dr. Unger, fixing stuff like Dr. Calway, or painting yourself blue and orange in preparation for Fridays game like Dr. King, we wish you a peaceful holiday filled with friends and family! We are thankful for all of you!

Drs. Li and Ramsey have an important announcement! Our next in-office prenatal is Wednesday, November 12 at 6pm (register at www.nwcppediatrics.com), and we are giving away some stuff! And also there will be pizza!

And for those of you who are curious from the video, Dr. Ramsey pronounced it “Bjorn”, when we all know that the correct pronunciation is “Bjorn”.

Hope to see you Wednesday! The 12th! At 6pm!
