There’s a cold front coming to Houston! Reminder if you have a little one who sits in a car seat-avoid snapping them in with their puffy jackets on. This creates space between the harness and the body which can lead to poor car seat support and danger if a car accident happens! It’s best to take off a thick jacket while in the car and instead use the jacket or a blanket to cover your baby.

Our physicians are alarmed at the recent CDC actions regarding the childhood vaccine schedule. This is confusing to parents and dangerous for our pediatric patients as well as the community in general. All of our providers will continue to recommend that childhood vaccines be completed fully and in a timely manner. In the past we have always been able to depend on the CDC for good, high quality information, but recently that has become more difficult.

At this time the most reliable source for vaccine information is the American Academy of Pediatrics who's vaccine schedule and information can be viewed with the link below. As always, we are available to answer any questions parents may have about vaccines.

With all the electronic holiday gifts, try to make some extra time to encourage your child’s creativity in non-electronic ways with blocks, legos, Play-Doh, crayons, paints, markers, cooking or playing outside. Despite the prevalence of electronic games and toys, children still need to get their hands dirty now and then.

Grayson our nurse practitioner’s son just fell off his bike at the park. Now there’s a crack in the helmet. She asked him Did you hit your head and he said no my helmet did.

Remember if there is any defect in a helmet it needs to be replaced because the integrity cannot be guaranteed after even a small crack like this one.

🚨 Hidden Danger in Your Home: Button Batteries 🚨  

Tomorrow is Christmas which means toys galore!! A lot of children’s toys are run by button batteries.

Button batteries may be small, but they can cause serious, life-threatening injuries if swallowed or placed in the nose or ears—especially for young children.

⚠️ Why they’re so dangerous:
• Can cause severe internal burns in as little as 2 hours
• Injuries may happen before symptoms appear
• Found in everyday items like remotes, toys, key fobs, watches, greeting cards, and hearing aids

🛑 Protect your family:
✔️ Keep devices with button batteries locked or taped shut
✔️ Store spare batteries up high and out of sight
✔️ Dispose of used batteries immediately and safely
✔️ Check floors and furniture regularly—these batteries roll easily!

❗ If you suspect ingestion:
• Go to the ER immediately
• Call Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222
• Do NOT wait for symptoms

💛 Please share—this information can save a child’s life.
