Happy National Milk Day!

Calcium matters for strong bones and healthy growth at every age, but balance is key.

How much milk is recommended?
• Toddlers (1–3): 2 cups/day
• Kids (4–8): 2–2.5 cups/day
• Older kids/teens: 3 cups/day
More isn’t better!

Drinking too much milk can fill kids up, cause constipation, or lead to low iron levels. Aim for no more than 2–3 cups per day, depending on age.

Baby it is cold outside.

Cold winter air can make kids’ skin dry and itchy, and thicker creams usually work better than lotions because they seal in moisture longer.

Apply moisturizer right after baths, choose fragrance-free products, and keep soaps gentle on sensitive skin.

Our DVPA providers love products such as Cerave Healing Ointment, Eucerin Cream, and Aquaphor for dry skin.

If you notice cracking, worsening eczema, or rashes that don’t improve within a few days, give us a call. We’re happy to help with next steps.

At Delaware Valley Pediatric Associates, we believe in science, prevention, and keeping kids healthy.

With medical advice coming from all directions, it can be hard for parents to know who to trust. Our role is to help guide families using evidence based medicine and years of pediatric training.

That’s why we proudly follow the child and adolescent immunization schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Vaccines are a safe and effective way to protect children, and our community.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s care.

Getting back into the school rhythm after winter break can be an adjustment for everyone.

A predictable routine helps kids feel secure, focused, and less stressed. Start by re-establishing consistent bedtimes and wake times, aiming for 9–12 hours of sleep depending on age. Reintroduce school-night habits like packing backpacks the night before, limiting screens in the evening, and offering balanced meals.

Even practicing the morning routine a few days early can make the transition smoother.

January is National Bath Safety Month, the perfect time to make sure your home’s water heater is set to a safe temperature. Hot tap water can cause burns in seconds, especially for young children.

✔ What temperature should it be?
Set your water heater to 120°F (49°C) to help prevent scalds.

Fevers can be scary for parents, but they’re often a sign that the body is doing what it’s supposed to do to fight infection. Understanding what causes fevers, how to treat them safely at home, and when to call your pediatrician can help take some of the anxiety out of the situation. At Delaware Valley Pediatric Associates, our pediatric providers are always happy to help guide you. Keep in mind that babies younger than 3 months old should be seen right away if they have a temperature of 100.4°F or higher.

This season, immunization remains the best way for parents to ensure their child is protected. RSV can be very serious for young babies and is the number one reason infants end up in the hospital before their first birthday.

Dr. Joanna Parga-Belinkie recently took to our Instagram stories to answer parents’ frequently asked questions ahead of RSV season. Check out our Instagram story highlights to learn more!
