I’m taking the plunge…the vlogging plunge, that is.
I’ve decided to start recording Video Shorts. I will be recording brief video tips on various parenting and child health topics. Please bear with me as I learn the fine art of vlogging, editing, sounding decent on camera, etc.
I started with, How to Keep Your Baby Safe in the Sun. Please I would love your feedback, including any topics you would like me to cover in the future. Here goes…enjoy the beginnings of summer.
How did I do for the first time?
Do you have any questions about sun safety and your baby?
Great job. It flowed very well…was informative…short and concise. Well done!
Good job. You totally nailed it. My first vlog I winged it.
Great tips for the babies!!
My 4yo's response (He was sitting on my lap while I watched.) was, " Ahhh, that's so cute." Ha! You did great Melissa! Love that it was short & concise.
Brief but comprehensive and easy to remember!
Excellent for a first time Vlog, Dr. Mom.
You need a segment on a television daytime talk show!
You're adorable and informative! *Love!*
I HATE MYSELF ON VIDEO!!
TEll me, Dr., how does one get over hating the sound of their voice??
OK.
LOVED the info.
The only thing I can think of is that I wish there wasn't so much background.
Otherwise, if your face was closer, it'd be perfect.
Awesome! Have you done this before ;). I agree with the person above that you should do short segments on a morning show. Well done!
Absolutely wonderful! Terrific info, straight to the point, helpful but not preachy (something that can be hard to do with a vlog).
Congrats Dr. Mom!
Great job on the hardest part – how you look and sound on camera.
The only thing I would change is the background. It should be plain or have items framing you (not a door right in back of you which distracts). I think it might work better having a non-white background if you are able.
The video was good but I usually read your posts via the RSS feed and the video wasn't part of the email I received so I had to click through to your regular site.

You make it look so easy!! Great job.
Yay Melissa! You rocked it! My only suggestion is maybe just a different background or even a closer shot! Other than that you were clear, engaging and informative!
Great job! It was short and completely informative!
Very good… I'm glad to see another pediatrician venturing into video blogging.

My son was prescribed sun because he was born slightly jaundiced. I find it difficult to believe that sun is good only for jaundiced babies, and that it is strictly bad for the rest.
In fact there is at least one study from Spain that found that sun exposure was inversely related to asthma, i.e. sun exposure reduced the incidence of asthma.
It seems to me that rather then tell the world to keep their babies out of the sun, it would be better to tell them to let their babies get 10 minutes of sun per day.
Very good and very informative. Well done. Keep them coming
LOVE seeing you along with your voice! I think your idea for these info shorts is so smart! Go you!
Great job on the vlog and it was the perfect length.
Sunscreen is very important for kids as well as adults.
trying to empty out my overloaded reader of starred posts that i never actually made it over to comment on… and found this one. i know i'm a bit late, but just wanted to say how much i loved seeing your face and hearing your voice! puts a whole new dimension to my "understanding" your blog/writing. love it. (and very well-done – informative and concise.)
more!
