Doctor Know
Who knows what Norman Rockwell would have made of New York-based hipster pediatrician Dr. Michel Cohen, but here are a few reasons to love the man: He makes house calls, wears funky, colorful clothes by Paul Smith and Comme des Garçons, his office is decorated with modern Danish furniture and colorful paintings by his artist wife. And, with his conscientious yet relaxed bedside manner, he's found a way to make even the most neurotic new parents feel at ease.
His new book -- published by ReganBooks with pictures by celeb photographer Annie Leibovitz and kudos from Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly -- extends his highly sought-after expertise and Gallic common sense approach to parents everywhere. Written in a warm, conversational tone, and presented in an easy-to-access format, The New Basics: A-to-Z Baby & Child Care for the Modern Parent, is an insightful how-to guide to raising a child. It's designed to help parents stop worrying by providing simple, reliable information, and refuting commonly-held misconceptions.
Informed by the philosophy that "less medicine is often the best medicine," The New Basics covers every important medical and developmental issue from Ferberizing to Freud, and provides guidance on emotional issues such as tantrums and sibling relationships. Dr. Michel also delights in debunking popular myths on such hot potatoes as diagnosing ADD, the proper diet for breastfeeding moms, air travel for babies, and asthma. Throughout the book there are "Real Questions from Real Parents."
Here's one from us: "Where has Dr. Michel been all our lives?"
