Flu vaccines and Covid vaccines are now available for children 6 months and older! Call our office to schedule on a shot clinic day OR if your child is due for their yearly exam, they can receive their vaccination at that time.

With school back in session, many little ones are stepping into their classrooms for the very first time—what an exciting milestone!

That said, the back-to-school season also means increased exposure to new germs.

Even older, seasoned kiddos often come down with multiple illnesses as fall and winter arrive.

This article from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago offers some excellent tips on how to boost your child’s immune system:

Dr. Elizabeth Lippner recommends:

Ensuring adequate sleep
Encouraging regular physical activity
Providing a balanced diet rich in fruits & veggies
Staying up to date on vaccines
Managing stress levels
Maintaining good hydration
Protecting skin health & limiting irritants

Illnesses are part of growing up, but these steps can help support your child’s defenses. We review this at each well visit, and we’re always here for questions — or to see your child when they’re not feeling their best. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy school year! Best of luck!

Kids’ immune systems help keep them from getting sick. Here’s how you can boost your child’s immune system and support healthy immune system function.

To our wonderful Bedrose Pediatrics families,

We’d like to share a heartfelt message written by the American Academy of Pediatrics:

https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/immunizations/Pages/why-pediatricians-recommend-vaccines-a-message-to-parents.aspx

At Bedrose Pediatrics, we wholeheartedly support and follow the guidance of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Our mission is to provide the most up-to-date, evidence-based, and safest care possible to protect and nurture every child we see.

As parents ourselves, many of us understand firsthand the worries and hopes you carry for your children. We strive to care for your family with the same dedication and compassion we give our own.

This letter deeply resonated with us, and we hope it brings you the same sense of reassurance and trust in the work we do together - especially given current times.

As always, thank you for allowing us to be part of your child’s journey. We’re here for any questions or concerns you may have.

Here's why pediatricians recommend vaccines with confidence. As vaccine misinformation comes from the highest levels, they will continue to be there for you to support important parenting decisions.​

🌍💙 Giving back and bonding!
This month, our pediatric office team had the opportunity to, once again, volunteer at Feed My Starving Children—a powerful experience packing meals and making a difference in the lives of children around the world. 🙌✨

After our shift, we headed to Bahama Breeze (RIP😭) to relax, recharge, and enjoy some well-earned drinks and appetizers together! 🍹🍤 Great food, even better company, and a reminder of how grateful we are to work with such a caring, compassionate team.

In recent news, you may have heard about a report that found heavy metals or other contaminants in certain baby formulas.

We understand how concerning this information can be. As a society—and especially as parents and caregivers—we want to be confident that baby formula is 100% safe, especially when it may be a baby’s sole source of nutrition.

At Bedrose Pediatrics, we trust and follow guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), a reliable and science-based resource we rely on to provide transparent, evidence-based care.

Here is an article from the AAP that we hope will offer some reassurance. It also includes a link to the recent report:

As a practice, we also want our families to know that we keep a careful record of any oral samples we provide—such as vitamin D drops, formula, probiotics, etc.—so that if there is ever a recall or safety issue, we can notify you right away.

Your child’s health and safety will always be our top priority

Many families feed formula to their infant in the first year of life as an alternative to human milk. They trust that it will be safe and provide the nutrients their baby needs. Still, you may have heard about a report that found heavy metals or other contaminants in some baby formula products. The...
