According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, vision screening begins in infancy as part of routine well-child visits. Starting around age 1, tools like photo screening help detect early problems. By age 4, most children should have a visual acuity test to check how well they can see at a distance. If any concerns come up, we may refer your child for a full eye exam with a pediatric eye specialist.

A few signs of vision issues could include frequent squinting, eye rubbing, or tilting the head to one side to see better.

If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, he may need to be seen for an eye exam. Call our office today to schedule an appointment.

Think arthritis is only for older adults? Think again.

July is juvenile arthritis awareness month. Juvenile arthritis affects approximately 220,000 children in the US. A few signs to watch for include persistent joint pain, swelling, or stiffness, morning stiffness that improves throughout the day, or fatigue, limping, or reluctance to play.

Summer freedom often means later bedtimes, but sleep routines still matter. Kids thrive on consistency, even during vacation.

Try keeping wake-up and bedtime within an hour of their usual school-year schedule. A calming bedtime routine and screens off 1 hour before sleep can make a big difference.

Need help managing sleep concerns?

Schedule a visit – we’re here to help your child rest easy.

These tiny bugs spread easily through shared items like hats, brushes, or close contact. If your child is scratching their scalp more than usual or you spot tiny white nits (eggs), it's time to check.

Over-the-counter treatments and thorough combing usually do the trick. If you are unsure about using OTC treatments, our doctors can prescribe treatments you can do at home.

To prevent reinfestation after lice, wash bedding, clothing, and hats in hot water and dry on high heat, and seal non-washable items in a plastic bag for two weeks.

Call our phone nurse to find out what treatments are available for your child.

- Watch for signs of dehydration: dry lips, less urine, or fatigue.

Here’s a quick guide:

- Bug bites: usually small, red, and itchy. Common with mosquitoes or ants.

- Stings: often more painful with immediate swelling. Watch for allergic reactions like difficulty breathing or hives. Anaphylaxis reaction to insect sting should be seen in the emergency room for immediate care.

Call us if swelling spreads rapidly, your child has a fever, or the site looks infected.

Most insect bites will not get infected until 3-5 days after the bite.

If you are unsure if your child needs to be seen, send us a picture through your child’s secure portal for a doctor to take a look.

Toddlers love milk - but balance is key!

Around 16–24 ounces a day is just right. Too little, and they may miss out on calcium and vitamin D. Too much, and it can lead to low iron or a full belly that skips meals.

All toddlers 12-24 months should drink whole milk to ensure they get needed fat, but after they turn 2, we recommend switching to 2% or lower milk.

If you’re not sure your little one is getting what they need, we can help guide you.
