New parents are flooded with information about newborn tests, preventive medications, and vaccines, and much of what circulates online is not grounded in science.

This workshop cuts through the noise by walking through what is commonly offered in the hospital at birth and during early pediatric well child visits, explaining what each intervention is, why it is recommended, and what the evidence shows about benefits and risks.

Pediatricians Dr. Audrey Brewer and Dr. Tomitra Latimer will also share a practical approach for evaluating common claims found online, so participants can respond with clarity instead of confusion.

The session will also equips nurses, doulas, and other caregivers with confidence building language to address questions, reduce anxiety, and support families in understanding newborn protections and routine childhood immunizations.
