The Doctors Bjorkman. “Pediatrician Explains Newborn Baby Basics: Feeding, Safe Sleep,
In this video the doctors covered essential topics relating to the care of a newborn. They
discuss many important topics such as caring for a baby's umbilical cord, what you need
to bring to the hospital for and after childbirth, how to know if your baby is getting
enough nutrients, and tips for safe sleeping. This video serves as a guide for new parents
to ensure a healthy start to caring for their new baby. All of these topics are beneficial for
care of a baby after childbirth. During your postnatal period you are constantly learning
something new and these are good tasks that need to be addressed during the postnatal
period. The doctors explain everything a new mother in her postpartum period could be
concerned about. While this video is published on YouTube I believe it has two credible
and trustworthy authors. The authors of this video are Mr. Kent Bjorkman a pediatrician
and Mrs. Sarah Bjorkman an Ob/Gyn. I believe they are credible because they both have
gone to school for many years to gain their medical degree and experience. A pediatrician
and an Ob/Gyn deals with the importance of the health of women, children, and family
health.

importance of postnatal care is to care for yourself and knowing what to expect and how
to deal with these conditions that could develop after childbirth and this article helps me
bring awareness to these conditions. I found this article credible because both of the
authors have their PhDs so they went through an accredited program and earned their
degree. Nancy Piotrowski is a psychologist with more than 35 years of experience in the
work field. While I couldn’t find any information on Alvin Benson, the online guide is
reviewed by many experts in the medical field and that is why I considered this source
credible.

During these doctor visits the doctor will look at the overall health of your baby and
where he/she is at in their growth and developmental stages. These appointments are

are also important so the parents can ask questions about feedings or if they have any
other concerns. It also provides the mother with time to talk about her postpartum
experience and if she is feeling stressed and or developing symptoms of PPD. This article
