About this episode

India is home to over 1.4 BILLION people and over 470 million children. There are more children in India than our entire population in the U.S. so I needed to have a pediatrician to chat with from India! I reached out to Dr. Imran Patel, a Pediatrician in India, and one the most followed and loved Pediatricians in the world with over 4.6 million followers on Instagram and 1.5 million followers on YouTube.


We discuss: 

  • If vaccine hesitancy and anti-vaccine sentiment exist in India
  • The cultural differences in approach to sleep and kids
  • How he wishes more families would approach feeding solid foods 
  • What motivates us as colleagues a world apart doing similar work
