🧠✨ Iron = Brain Power! ✨🧠

Toddlers grow fast, and around age 1 their iron stores from birth start to run low—making them more vulnerable to iron deficiency.

👀 Signs to watch for:

- Low energy or fatigue
- Pale skin
- Brittle nails
- Poor appetite or picky eating
- Frequent infections

🥩🍊 Boost iron with foods like beef, spinach, beans & iron-fortified cereals—plus vitamin C (like oranges) to help with absorption!

At the 1-year checkup, we do a quick finger prick to screen for iron. If your child needs extra support, we’ll guide you with safe supplements and nutrition tips. 💕

📞 Call today to schedule your toddler’s next wellness visit!

✨ Did you know babies’ fingernails grow faster than adults’?
That’s why those tiny scratches on their face are so common!

💅 Tips to keep nails safe:

- Trim after a warm bath (they’ll be softer)
- Try baby nail scissors or a gentle file
- Some parents trim while baby is feeding or sleeping
- Mittens can help, but take them off during awake time so baby can explore

💡 Dr. Garza's tip: Long-sleeve onesies with hand flaps work better than mittens or socks (they stay put!).

👉 If you need advice on safe nail tools or how to care for scratches, give our nurses a call—we’re here to help! 💕

🦷 By age 6, kids are ready to take on more responsibility with their dental care… but they still need reminders (and a little help)!

✨ Dental health checklist for 6 year olds:
✅ Brush 2x/day with fluoride toothpaste
✅ Floss 1x/day (grown-ups still help!)
✅ Dental checkups every 6 months
✅ Limit sugary snacks & drinks

👀 Fun fact: Cavities are the most common chronic disease in kids—but they’re almost 100% preventable!

👉 Need help finding a pediatric dentist? Ask us at your child’s next visit—we’ll connect you with great options. We also offer fluoride treatments for kids who haven’t seen a dentist yet.

🌸 At DBP, we’re proud to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! 🌸

✨ Teens + skincare ✨
We know it’s tempting to try all the latest trends, but not every product is made for young, sensitive skin.

💡 Keep it simple:
✅ Gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser
✅ Fragrance-free moisturizer
✅ Daily SPF (yes—even in winter!)

🌿 A good routine often starts with just a cleanser + light moisturizer. We love options like CeraVe SA or Cetaphil for gentle, everyday care.

💬 If your teen is struggling with acne or sensitive skin, we can help build a personalized skincare plan. Call us to schedule an appointment!

😴✨ Let’s talk sleep training! ✨😴

Sleep training can be helpful for some families, but it’s not one size fits all, and not every baby is ready at the same time. 💕

The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recognizes methods like:
🌙 Graduated extinction (checking in at longer intervals)
🌙 Bedtime fading (shifting bedtime to match natural sleepiness)

✅ Safe & effective for babies 6 months and older
✅ Doesn’t have to mean “cry it out” if that doesn’t fit your family

Remember—sleep struggles are so common in the baby phase. You’re not alone! 💗 At DBP, we’re always here to help you find an approach—gentle, gradual, or structured—that works best for your little one and your family’s needs.

💉 Flu shots are HERE! 💙
We’re now offering flu vaccines for our patients AND their parents!

Why get the flu shot?
😷 Flu can cause serious illness in kids, especially little ones under 5 or children with chronic conditions.
💪 The vaccine reduces the risk of severe illness, missed school & work, and helps protect your whole community.
🛡️ It’s one of the best ways to keep your family safe this season.

Can't make it during the week? DBP will also have a Saturday morning flu clinic on September 20th!

👉 Call, text, or portal message us today to schedule your flu shot and stay protected all season long!
