🎒 Feeling nervous about the start of a new school year is totally normal- for kids and parents.

A little worry is expected, but if your child is having trouble sleeping, frequent tummy aches, or major clinginess, it might be a sign of anxiety.

Tips that help:
✔️ Start routines early
✔️ Talk openly about their feelings
✔️ Validate concerns (let them know it’s okay to be nervous)
✔️ Visit the school before the first day
✔️ Let your child pick out fun school supplies

Small steps like these can really ease the transition.

We’d love to hear from you- what’s your child most excited (or nervous) about this school year? As Dr. Kim says, many kids are “Nervcited”- a mix of nervous and excited! 💛

🌸 The first few days after birth are such a special and sometimes overwhelming time. Frequent feeding (8–12 times per day) is expected as your baby learns to nurse and your milk supply begins to increase. During this time, your body produces colostrum (often called liquid gold 🍼💛), which is packed with nutrients and antibodies to protect your newborn.

It’s completely normal for milk to take a few days to come in. Some mothers may experience engorgement or discomfort, and latching can take practice. Remember- you are not alone, and it’s normal to have questions. 💕

At Lone Star Kids Care Pediatrics, we’re here for you 24/7. Call us 📞 (972)-649-5480 (Allen) + (469)-281-2388 (Prosper), schedule online 💻 www.lonestarkidscare.com, or send us a message through the portal. Our team will make sure you have all the resources you need for a smooth transition home with your baby.

Observed on Nov 1–2, families gather to honor the memories of loved ones with altars, candles, favorite foods, and marigolds.

This meaningful tradition reminds us how important it is to talk to our children about love, loss, and family history in a comforting and joyful way.

This! Vaccines are safer than the actual disease!

As a parent, it’s understandable to want to learn about what’s in vaccines. But as you research, you might come across misleading claims about vaccine ingredients.

Antigens, for example, are a key ingredient in vaccines that help children’s immune systems learn to respond to viruses. Your children encounter antigens in many places they visit each day, including playgrounds. In fact, children can come in contact with up to 6,000 antigens each day.

If you have any additional questions about vaccines and their ingredients, talk with your pediatrician or click the link below.
