The First 1000 Days—A Missed Opportunity for Pediatricians.

The author laments the failure of the medical education system to prepare pediatricians with skills necessary to initiate meaningful infant feeding and nutrition guidance for young families during those first 1000 days. Topics discussed include criticism on the lack of focus on nutrition-related medical education in the U.S., experiential learning models often used in modern teaching strategies, and importance for pediatricians to advocate change.
