Welcome to another Wellness Wednesday! This week's topic is Bedtime Routines.

A consistent bedtime routine can make a big difference in your child’s sleep quality and overall well-being—especially during the school year. Whether you have a toddler or a school-aged kid, creating a calm, predictable routine helps them wind down and signals that it’s time to rest.

Here are some helpful tips for building a healthy bedtime routine:

-Start with calm activities: A warm bath, quiet play, or storytime can help little ones shift into bedtime mode.

-Limit screens: Try turning off TVs, tablets, and phones at least 1 hour before bedtime to help their brains relax.

-Be consistent: Stick to the same bedtime and wake-up time each day—even on weekends.

-Brush and bed: A routine of brushing teeth and getting into pajamas helps set clear expectations.

-Read together: A short book or two each night can be the perfect way to wind down and spend quality time.

Every child is different, but consistency and comfort are key. Need help developing a sleep routine? Our team at Eastern Pediatrics is here to support your family’s wellness every step of the way!

Wellness Wednesday: Is It a Cold or Allergies? 🤧

It can be tricky to tell the difference between a cold and allergies, especially when your child is sneezing, coughing, and dealing with nasal drainage. So we asked Dr. Phillips what the difference was, and here’s what he said!

A cold is caused by a virus and can sometimes lead to a low-grade fever, which allergies won’t. Nasal drainage from a cold may start off clear but often becomes greenish as the illness progresses. The inside of the nose may look bright red and inflamed, and symptoms usually go away within 5 to 7 days. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it may point to a secondary infection.

Allergies, on the other hand, are triggered by things like pollen, dust, or pet dander and they’re not contagious. Allergy-related nasal drainage tends to stay clear, and the inside of the nose may appear pale or even purplish in color. Unlike a cold, allergy symptoms don’t just go away with time. They’ll persist until properly treated and exposure to the allergen is reduced.

If your child’s symptoms are lingering, worsening, or you’re just unsure, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always here to help guide your family through the sniffles!

Employee Spotlight: Angela, Certified Medical Assistant

Meet Angela, one of our amazing certified medical assistants here at Eastern Pediatrics! As the oldest of eight children, Angela naturally grew into a caregiver role from a young age, which sparked her passion for pediatric care.
Her favorite part of the job? Building lasting bonds with both the children and their families. Angela goes the extra mile to make little ones feel at ease by getting down on their level and walking them through each step of their visit.

She reminds new parents that “parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and that every child is beautifully unique." A great day at work for Angela is simple: putting smiles on the faces of her patients and coworkers.
Angela’s favorite children's movies include The Lion King, Princess and the Frog, and Encanto. If she had a superpower, it would be teleportation, that way she could help everyone, everywhere, in an instant!

Her favorite color is pink, and one piece of advice that has stuck with her is: “It’s never too late to follow your heart. Just do what makes you happy.” For Angela, the most rewarding part of her job is watching the children grow, learn, and thrive.

We’re so lucky to have Angela on our team!
