Q. My kid does everything a million times over and seems to remain fascinated, should I be worried?
Dr. Zibners' Answer:
Thanks Amy in MD for this one. No, you should not immediately assume there is anything wrong with your baby because he likes to bang things together over and over or enjoys twirling in the curtains for hours. Actually, this is entirely normal. Little kids learn by repetition, which is why they want to hear the same song over and over or watch Willy Wonka for the 1000th time. If you are concerned about your little one but remember that an otherwise growing and developing kid who likes to bang the same drum for an hour is probably perfectly fine.

"WHAT I LIKED: This book is written in a funny, down to earth way that doesn't make you feel like an idiot. I really would have appreciated something like this when my kids were really little and I freaked out over everything they put in their mouths. It has a scenario/question and answer format, with clear answers on when not to panic and when to call 911."
