Dr. Molly answers questions about the recommendation for early (accelerated) MMR vaccine.

04/08/2026

📢 Important Update for Parents

Due to potential measles exposure in our community, an early (accelerated) MMR vaccine is now recommended for infants aged 6–11 months who live in Oakland, Wayne, Monroe, Jackson, Livingston, or Lenawee counties or are traveling to Washtenaw or Monroe counties.

This early dose provides temporary protection but does not replace the routine schedule. Your child will still need:
• A dose at 12–15 months
• A second dose at 4–6 years

If your child is eligible, we encourage you to contact our office to schedule their vaccine.

We’ll also be sharing a FAQ video later today—stay tuned!

🌸⏰Daylight Saving Time starts this weekend, and that means we spring forward one hour! While losing an hour of sleep can be tough for adults, it can be especially challenging for kids.🌸⏰

Here are some simple tips to help your child adjust smoothly:

🌙 Shift bedtime gradually – Move bedtime 10–15 minutes earlier for a few nights
📱 Power down screens – Turn off devices at least 30–60 minutes before bed
🛁 Keep a calming routine – Bath, books, and quiet time help signal sleep
☀️ Get morning sunlight – Natural light helps reset their internal clock
😴 Be patient – Extra tiredness and crankiness are normal for a few days!

A little planning can make a big difference for happier mornings and healthier sleep habits. 💙

We’re here to support your family every step of the way!

💛 Kindness Builds Healthy Hearts & Happy Minds 💛

Did you know that simple acts of kindness can actually improve health? Research shows that kindness helps reduce stress, boost mood, strengthen the immune system, and support emotional well-being—for both children and adults!

In our pediatric family, we believe kindness is just as important as good nutrition, sleep, and exercise. Teaching children empathy, compassion, and caring behavior helps them grow into healthier, more confident, and emotionally resilient adults.

Today (and every day), we encourage families to practice small acts of kindness:
✨ Share a smile
✨ Say thank you
✨ Help a friend
✨ Encourage someone who’s having a hard day
✨ Show patience and understanding

Because raising healthy kids means caring for both their bodies and their hearts. 💙

Feeling loved is key to a child’s healthy mental and emotional development. Showing your child love helps model what a loving relationship looks like and can help set a foundation for them to build loving, healthy relationships with others. From reading to your child to carving out quality time together, there are many different ways to show your child love. Show your child how much you care today and everyday.❤️
