Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We are grateful to the military families who carry this legacy and sacrifice.

As many families gather and begin summer activities, it is also a good time to keep safety in mind. Use sun protection, stay hydrated, and practice water safety by supervising children closely around pools, lakes, and the beach.

Fairhope Pediatrics hopes your family has a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend.

Kangaroo care, also known as skin to skin contact, is when a baby is placed directly on a caregiver’s chest. This simple practice offers important benefits for both baby and parent.

Skin to skin time can help regulate a baby’s temperature, heart rate, and breathing. It also supports bonding, promotes breastfeeding, and can help calm both baby and caregiver. Even short periods throughout the day can be beneficial.

Kangaroo care is not just for moms. Partners and other caregivers can also participate, helping build connections and support baby’s development.

Have questions about skin to skin or other ways to promote bonding with each parent? Our providers would love to chat with you about this at your baby’s visit. Call today to schedule.

Choosing a daycare before your baby arrives can help reduce stress and give you time to find the right fit for your family.

Touring early allows you to explore options, ask questions, and get a feel for the environment before spots fill up.

Ask about infant sleep practices, feeding routines, staff-to-infant ratios, and how caregivers communicate with parents throughout the day. It is also important to check licensing, safety policies, and how the center handles illness and emergencies.

Pay attention to how the space feels and how staff interact with children. Trust your instincts when it comes to choosing a place where your baby will be cared for each day.

Still not sure what questions to ask a potential daycare? Our providers are here to help guide you and give you some topics you may want to discuss.

05/16/2026

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and can lead to long-term complications such as chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. It spreads through contact with infected blood or body fluids, and babies can be exposed at birth or early in life without obvious symptoms.

Before routine vaccination, many people developed chronic hepatitis B infections that lasted a lifetime. The introduction of the hepatitis B vaccine has significantly reduced infection rates, especially in children.

Vaccination helps protect babies from early exposure and provides long-term protection as children grow. Keeping vaccines up to date remains one of the most effective ways to prevent hepatitis B and its complications.

If you are unsure whether your child is up to date on vaccines, contact our office and we can review their immunization record with you.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness in young children. It often starts with a fever and decreased appetite, followed by painful sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands, feet, and sometimes the diaper area. The spots may look like small red bumps or blisters.

This illness is very contagious and spreads easily through saliva, respiratory droplets, and contact with contaminated surfaces.

Good handwashing and keeping children home while they have fever or open sores can help reduce spread.

Most cases are mild and improve on their own within about a week. Focus is on comfort, including fluids and pain control, since mouth sores can make eating and drinking uncomfortable.

Call our office if your child is not drinking well, shows signs of dehydration, has persistent high fever, or if you have concerns about worsening symptoms.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and caregivers who show up every day for their families. From the visible moments to the unseen work behind the scenes, your care, patience, and dedication make a lasting impact on your children’s lives.

Parenting comes with both joy and challenges, and the effort you put in each day matters more than perfection. Taking time to rest, recharge, and care for your own health is an important part of caring for your family.

Wishing you a day that recognizes all that you do and the difference you make.

05/09/2026

Living in a dorm brings new routines and close contact with others, which can make it easier for illnesses to spread. Simple habits can help students stay healthy throughout the school year.

Regular handwashing, getting enough sleep, staying up to date on vaccines, and avoiding sharing drinks, utensils, or personal items can reduce the risk of illness.

Staying current on recommended vaccines, including meningitis and the yearly flu vaccine, is especially important in close living environments like dorms.

Keeping a small supply of basic medications and staying hydrated can also help manage minor symptoms early.

If a student develops a high fever, severe symptoms, or an illness that is not improving after a few days, it is important to seek care through a student health center or local provider.
