Do you already know and love Ruby? Have you been looking for her? Look no further! We are thrilled to welcome Ruby Barquist, CPNP, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, to the Little Steps Pediatrics family! 🎉🥳

Ruby is a dedicated Pediatric Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about providing evidence-based, compassionate care to children and their families. She is currently completing her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, with doctoral work focused on promoting early childhood speech and language development through nightly reading routines.

Using baby sign language is a great way to communicate with your baby before they can talk! Understanding what your baby wants can make parenting so much easier. On a recent episode of the Healthy Children podcast, Dr. Jennifer Shu, pediatrician and Medical Editor of HealthyChildren.org, recommends teaching your baby the signs for common phrases like “more,” “please” and “thank you” around six to nine months of age. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts.
