This week’s show notes:

NEWS: Injection technique can make a difference in the amount of pain infants experience during vaccination. I couldn’t find a link to the recent study I discuss on the program (you would have to check it out the old-fashioned way–in a paper publication!), but here is a LINK to a page on the CDC’s website that discusses vaccine recommendations. Once you get to that page, click on the “aspiration before injection” link. I also discuss vaccines on the horizon for the prevention of obesity and nicotine addiction.

FEATURE: This weeks feature segment takes an in-depth look at ADHD. I discuss the symptoms, diagnostic criteria, cause, treatment options, and long-term expectations of this common problem.

MAIL BAG: A listener asks a question about nighttime feedings for infants.
