Ask Dr. Matt – Common Questions From Parents

(KTVI) – We asked you to ask the doc Thursday morning, and you did. There are questions on your mind on topics from autism to sunscreen.

Doctor Matt Dougherty is a pediatrician with Esse Health and he answers your questions.

The first question is if it has been proved whether baby shots have anything to do with autism.  Is it better to spread those vaccinations out?

We had a couple of questions about sunscreen. One viewer wanted to know about her 3 1/2 month old. Should she put sunscreen on her? Is there a recommended sunscreen for babies under 6 months old?

What age should a child change from children’s toothpaste to regular toothpaste?
