Dr. Chheda - 👶 According to my mom, by the time I was eight months old, I was walking, I was talking, and I was toilet trained. I was not.
Don't let your neighbors, the Instagrammers, the TikTokers tell you that your baby should be doing this by this age, otherwise they are gonna be very, very delayed. No!
💚 Every baby has their own range when they develop:
Some babies are a little bit more advanced
Some babies are a little bit later
That doesn't necessarily mean they're delayed (unless you've seen your pediatrician)
Your baby should be progressing from milestone to milestone at regular intervals. That's why we want to see babies at regular intervals - to make sure they are achieving the milestones and are progressing on to the next level.
We don't ever want a baby not to reach a milestone by the latest possible age range, and we also want to make sure that they are progressing.
✅ Make sure you take your child to their pediatrician at all the appointments so they can test, check, to make sure that your baby has reached the milestones that they're supposed to by that point.

Dr. Chheda - 🚽 I've got so many middle schoolers that will come in and say that they refuse to use the restroom at school. They hold it and they hold it, and then they come home and then they have to go.
Why won't they use the bathroom at school? It's because these bathrooms are full of kids who are va**ng, who are doing drugs, who are smoking. And you want to think that it doesn't happen in your school, but it does.
⚠️ Reality check: It's happening in schools across the country - all middle schools, all high schools, probably elementary schools too when teachers aren't aware.
💚 What to teach your child:
✅ Cover their nose
✅ Go in quickly
✅ Use the bathroom
✅ Come back out
✅ That's it!
You still want your child to use the bathroom when their body tells them - not hold it and end up with a urinary tract infection or constipation. Listen to your body signals!

💤 So a few healthy tips that we often forget about. The first is sleeping. It is important to sleep well at night, averaging about eight to nine hours for teenagers, 10 to 13 hours for younger kiddos that are in school. Making sure you're well rested, having a good sleep routine.
🌈 You also want to eat healthy. I know sometimes that's a difficult one, but try to have some balance with it. It really does make a difference. At Harmony Pediatrics, we often tell our patients to eat the rainbow, so they're eating their fruits, their grains, their veggies, their protein, their dairy - all the things.
🏃‍♀️ Being active is also very important - at least 30 minutes a day, three to four days a week of physical activity.
📱 And don't forget screen time - limit the screen time as much as you can. The screen time that we're talking about is more of the video games, your internet surfing, your TikTok videos. You want to limit that, and especially before bedtime - no screens an hour before bedtime.
Remember, small choices today grow big healthy futures tomorrow.

I am grateful to have her as my pediatrician, knowing that my children are receiving the best possible care under her guidance." 🌟

Dr. Chheda - 😓 If you're feeling overstimulated or out of touch, that's not a weakness - you might have burnout. Sleep deprivation, constant caregiving is exhausting.
⚠️ Signs of burnout:
Irritability
Crying
Not being in touch with others
Resentment towards others (they're not doing what you're doing)
💚 Small resets:
✅ Take a 20-minute nap
✅ Walk outside in nature
✅ ASK FOR HELP (perfectly fine!)
We don't fix everything. We want to be good role models for our children. Ask for help so your child can say, "Oh, when I'm feeling overwhelmed, I need to ask for help." You as a parent should be asking for help too.
Constant caregiving is completely exhausting.

Dr. Chheda - 👶 You've seen infants with helmets on their heads, and what is that for? That is because they had some flattening of their head at some point, and the helmet is supposed to help shape their head back into a normal round shape.
Why does it happen? Flat spots happen when babies are placed in the same position again and again - sleeping in same position, not rotating head, or being held in your arms with head in same position.
💚 How to prevent:
✅ Move baby's head from side to side when sleeping
✅ Don't keep on same side all the time
✅ Hold them in either arm
✅ Put them down right-sided sometimes, left-sided sometimes
✅ They're always looking at something different
✅ More tummy time during the day (when awake!)
⚠️ Why more common now? Because sleeping on front/side can cause SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). We want all babies sleeping on their backs. That's why we've seen more head flattening. But we can prevent it by making sure baby moves their head consistently and does tummy time to keep pressure off their head.

Dr. Chheda - 🍩 Okay, I like donuts. I can eat one donut, two maybe. I cannot eat six donuts at a time. But six donuts has the equivalent sugar of a twenty-ounce bottle of soda.
🥤 Think about it - you can guzzle a 20 oz bottle of soda with no problem. But that's the same amount of sugar as six donuts, and you would never eat six donuts all at once. It is SO EASY to drink your sugar, to drink your calories without realizing it.
💚 Be very, very mindful of what you're drinking:
❌ Sodas
❌ Energy drinks
❌ Gatorades (unless no/limited sugar)
❌ Fruit juices (lots of sugar!)
✅ Eat the fruit for nutrition, not drink it!
It is so easy to drink your sugar, especially for kids with fruit juices. Please be mindful.

⏰ "Lunch at 1:15?" "Can't - doctor appointment at 1." "Push it to 1:30?" "Nope - our doctor spends a FULL HOUR with us."
😲 "An hour WITH your doctor?!" "Yep! We go to a DPC practice - direct primary care. The doctor's priority is US, not how many patients they see. They actually spend time caring for us."

Dr. Chheda - ⚠️ When you come across ads and you see something that says, "Oh, your doctor doesn't know," or "Your doctor doesn't want you to know," or "This is a miracle product, it will treat A, B, C, and Z" - you have to be really careful, especially when you're dealing with your child.
You don't want to have your child have any unnecessary side effects from something that has not been researched, that there's no evidence for.
💚 What to look for:
✅ Multiple studies proving safety
✅ Replicable results
✅ Different people/groups conducting studies
✅ Evidence-based research
❌ Red flags:
"Your doctor doesn't want you to know"
"Miracle product"
"Cures everything"
Influencer-pushed products
Don't fall for the traps. Yes, we all want that miracle drug, we want something that works fast. But studies take time, and that's why sometimes it takes a while before you find the right solution for your child.
Don't get dragged into the influencer style and try everything on the market. You might be doing more harm to your baby than you think.

Dr. Chheda - 👨‍👧 Okay, dads of daughters - this one is for you, dads. I want you to woo your daughter.
What I mean by this is, we form our opinions on the kind of person that we need to be with for the rest of our lives, our lifelong partner, by our role models that we see every day.
📱 Dads sitting on their phone all day, not playing tea party or stuffed animals, thinking daughters are lame or boring? That tells the daughter: "I need to find a person who is going to ignore me for the rest of my life." That's the kind of life partner they're gonna end up with.
💚 That's NOT what you want for your daughter! You want somebody who is going to pay attention to her. You need to be that role model.
So woo your daughter:
✅ Get off your phone
✅ Pay attention to her
✅ Play tea parties
✅ Daddy-daughter dances/dates
That way she understands what it means to be a good husband, a good life partner, a good partner for her.
