Is your baby bundled too much? Or not enough?

During winter, infants should typically sleep in one more layer than an adult would wear to be comfortable in the same room. A breathable onesie plus a sleep sack is usually perfect.

Avoid hats, blankets, and loose bedding in the crib to prevent overheating and reduce SIDS risk. If your baby’s chest feels warm and dry, they’re dressed appropriately. Remember, cold hands and feet are normal.

Not sure if your baby is dressed appropriately for sleep? Give us a call, we’re here to help you keep them safe and cozy.

Baby it is cold outside.

Cold winter air can make kids’ skin dry and itchy, and thicker creams usually work better than lotions because they seal in moisture longer.

Apply moisturizer right after baths, choose fragrance-free products, and keep soaps gentle on sensitive skin.

Our doctors love products such as Cerave Healing Ointment, Eucerin Cream, and Aquaphor for dry skin.

If you notice cracking, worsening eczema, or rashes that don’t improve within a few days, give us a call. We’re happy to help with next steps.

When the weather keeps your family inside, it’s the perfect time to build connections in simple ways.

Try reading together under a warm blanket, cooking or baking a new recipe, creating an indoor scavenger hunt, snuggling up on the couch with a warm cup of hot chocolate or enjoying a favorite board game.

These small moments feel cozy but also build skills like communication, problem-solving, and patience.

What’s your favorite cold-weather family activity?

Winter blues?

Shorter winter days can affect kids’ (and adults’) mood and energy levels, and a little grumpiness or lower motivation this time of year is normal. But parents should watch for red flags like withdrawal, sudden school struggles, big changes in sleep or appetite, or any mention of hopelessness.

If something feels “off,” trust your instincts.

Reach out to us because we’re here to help support your child’s emotional health.

🎉 Happy New Year to our amazing pediatric patients and families! As flu season is here, remember we’re here to help keep your little ones healthy all year long.

Kids often show symptoms like fever, body aches, cough, sore throat, and sometimes vomiting or diarrhea. Most cases can be managed at home with rest and fluids, but call our office if your child is working hard to breathe, isn’t drinking well, or isn’t improving after a few days.

Flu vaccines are still available and still one of the simplest ways to protect your family. Call today if your child still needs theirs.

The holiday season is a special time to spend with family, and we hope you enjoy these moments together.

Our office has adjusted hours over Christmas, but we are still available 24/7 for urgent needs through our after-hours line.

Changes in routine like altered sleep schedules or meal times can increase stress and lead to crankiness or behavior changes.

Plan ahead by packing snacks, entertainment, and comfort items, maintain regular sleep routines as much as possible, and allow extra time for stops or delays. Bring along coloring books, puzzles, storybooks, or small travel games to keep kids engaged without screens during the trip.

Call our office or send us a portal message for advice on travel safety, motion sickness, or managing health needs while on the go.

The holidays are a time for family and fun…but also for germs!

Encourage handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home if anyone is sick to help prevent spreading illness.

If someone can’t attend in person, consider celebrating together virtually via video calls so everyone can join safely.
If your child develops symptoms during the holidays, call our office for guidance on care and testing.

An umbilical granuloma is a small, pink growth of tissue that can form at the belly button after the umbilical cord falls off. It may produce a little discharge but is usually painless.

Most granulomas are treated easily in the office using safe methods like silver nitrate.

If you notice a growth, persistent moisture, or redness at your baby’s belly button, call our office for evaluation and treatment.

We offer same day sick appointments for your convenience.
