AAP Policy Statements

Recommendations, Help and Guidance from the AAP

Policy Statements from the American Academy of Pediatrics offer recommendations, help and guidance for Pediatricians and other health professionals in managing the health care needs of their patients.

Topics range from how long to breastfeed to guidelines of effective discipline and selecting appropriate toys for young children.

Although often a bit technical, parents may also find them helpful to see if their children are being cared for according to recommendations of the AAP.
