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.

The holidays can bring excitement, stress, or disappointment for children.

Changes in routine - like later bedtimes, new schedules, or extra activities - can also cause stress and lead to behavior changes. Encourage children to express feelings with words, take calming breaks, and participate in planning to feel more in control.

Modeling healthy coping strategies helps children learn to manage emotions effectively.

If your child struggles with big emotions or behavior during the holidays, call our office for support and resources.

Selecting a pediatrician before your baby arrives allows you to establish care, ask questions about newborn care, and prepare for routine checkups and vaccinations.

Consider factors like location, office hours, availability for questions (after hours), and whether they provide support for breastfeeding or postpartum concerns.

Pediatrics of Arlington offers prenatal zoom sessions for expecting parents. Call our office to sign up before your baby is born.

If your child develops flu symptoms such as fever, cough, body aches, fatigue, or vomiting, keep them home from school and ensure they stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

Antiviral medications may be prescribed in certain cases.

Watch for warning signs such as difficulty breathing, persistent high fever, or dehydration, which require prompt medical attention.

Children can return to school when they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication and symptoms are improving.

Call our office for guidance on caring for your child, managing symptoms, or obtaining a school excuse.

Vaccines do more than protect your individual child - they help prevent the spread of disease to classmates, family members, and the community.

Immunizations reduce outbreaks, protect vulnerable populations, like newborns and the elderly, and keep children healthy so they can attend school and activities safely.

Stay up to date on your child’s vaccines. Call our office to schedule or review their immunization status today.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month, a time to recognize the unique journey of babies born too soon and the strength of their families. Life after the NICU can feel overwhelming, with many follow-up appointments, therapies, and ongoing care needs.

Every baby’s journey is different, and support looks different for each family.

Our office is here to help coordinate care for your premature baby, including referrals to early intervention, ophthalmology, and developmental specialists.

oddlers develop speech at different rates, but some signs may indicate the need for evaluation.

By around 2 years old, children should be combining words into simple 2-word sentences, and by 3 years old, about 90% of what they say should be understandable to a stranger. Watch for limited vocabulary, not using gestures or sounds to communicate, or losing previously acquired words. Early identification and intervention can make a big difference in language development.

Our office can evaluate your child’s speech and provide an appropriate referral to a speech therapist or early intervention if needed.

Doctors tip: Recommends reading to your toddler for 15 minutes per day to help boost vocabulary. Since toddlers have short attention spans, you can split this time into shorter reading sessions throughout the day.

Welcoming a new baby can be exciting, but it can also be challenging for older siblings.

Preparing them ahead of time, involving them in care tasks, and setting aside special one-on-one time can help them adjust. Understanding that jealousy or regressions are normal helps families navigate this transition smoothly.

Need more strategies for helping your older child adjust to a new sibling? Call our office for guidance and practical tips tailored to your family.

Picky eating is common in toddlers and usually part of normal development. Encouraging variety can take patience: offer new foods alongside familiar favorites, involve your child in meal prep, and model healthy eating yourself. Avoid pressure or punishment—positive exposure over time is more effective than forcing a bite.

Doctors Tip: Recommends offering only a tiny, bite-sized piece when introducing a new food - or if your child didn’t like it the last time. Toddlers are visual eaters, so if a food looks unfamiliar or intimidating, they’re less likely to try it.

Need strategies tailored to your picky eater? Call our office for guidance and practical tips to make mealtime less stressful.

Safe sleep saves lives. Every nap and bedtime should follow these guidelines:

- Back to sleep: Always place your baby on their back.

- Bare crib: Use a firm mattress with a fitted sheet—no pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals.

- Avoid overheating: Dress baby in a sleep sack instead of loose blankets.

Doctors tip: recommend checking the safe sleep approval on all products prior to purchasing. For example, weighted sleep sacks are not approved for safe sleep so should be avoided. Check out this saferproducts.com to check products.

Have questions about your baby’s sleep setup? Bring a photo to your next visit so we can help make sure it’s safe.
