These days we all use google and social media to get information. But let’s face it, there’s a lot of bad information out there, and it’s hard to sort out what’s reliable and what’s not. Here are some reliable websites that are good places to start when you’re searching for information.
General information including illness management and parenting:
The American Academy of Pediatrics website for parents
Children’s Hospital Colorado parent advice page
Vaccine information:
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Vaccine Education Center
CDC’s vaccine website for parents
Immunize.org general public website
Mental health resources:
American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry parent information
Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Zero to Three’s Parent Resources page Features articles about promoting early childhood development (this website can be a bit hard to navigate; it’s easiest to just search for topics such as biting or separation anxiety or infant sleep to find what you are looking for).
Alternative/Integrative medicine:
NIH National Center for Complementary Integrative Health
Product safety:
Consumer Product Safety Commission Great to find recalls and recommendations for safe baby and child products.
