Daniel Weissbluth

M.D., F.A.A.P.

Dr. Weissbluth is a board certified Northwestern pediatrician on staff at Prentice Women's Hospital as well as Lurie Children's Hospital.  Blending a positive attitude and years of education and experience, "Dr. Dan" makes sure that a visit with him is smooth for kids and reassuring for parents. Dr. Dan attended Rosalind Franklin University of Medical Science/Chicago Medical School and is board certified. He completed his pediatric training at Indiana University Riley Children's Hospital and is currently an Instructor of Clinical Pediatrics at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Behind the glasses, you'll also find that Dr. Dan is fascinated by how today's media affects the pediatric population. In fact, he co-created the Weissbluth Method Infant Nap App, the Weissbluth Method Toddler Bedtime App, and the Weissbluth Method Parenting Myth App for mobile devices. In addition, he co-authored Sleep Consult with his father, Marc Weissbluth. Dr. Dan also regularly contributes to the blog Weissbluth Pediatrics where he shares his practical thoughts on trending parenting concerns, debunks popular mommy myths and hands out useful advice on a variety of topics. Though Dr. Dan is a technology man, he still appreciates simple ingenuity, just like in his favorite children's book, Burt Dow Deep Water Man.
