Spit-up is common in babies, but reflux can sometimes cause more than just a laundry problem!

Babies with reflux may have frequent spit-ups, irritability after feeds, arching of the back, or trouble gaining weight. In toddlers, reflux can show up as chronic cough, chest discomfort, or difficulty eating.

If you’re concerned your baby’s spit-up is more than normal, give us a call at (360) 456-1600 so our team can help determine if reflux is the cause and discuss ways to manage it!

Grade schoolers are learning to recognize and manage their emotions, which can sometimes feel overwhelming... you can help by encouraging open conversations about feelings, modeling healthy coping strategies, and validating your child’s experiences!

Teaching problem-solving and stress management skills at this stage helps children build resilience and confidence! Encourage your child to manage stress by taking deep breaths, talking about their feelings, or using drawing or journaling to express emotions.

If your child struggles with emotional regulation or frequent mood changes, call our office at (360) 456-1600. We can offer strategies, resources, and referrals if needed.

Vaccines do more than protect your individual child - they help prevent the spread of disease to classmates, family members, and the community!

Immunizations reduce outbreaks, protect vulnerable populations, like newborns and the elderly, and keep children healthy so they can attend school and activities safely.

It's easy to stay up to date on your child’s vaccines. Call our office at (360) 456-1600 to schedule or review their immunization status today!

Protect your family this flu season. Call our office at (360) 456-1600 to schedule a flu vaccine for your child!

Picky eating is common in toddlers and usually part of normal development!

Encouraging variety can take patience... you can do things like:
* Offer new foods alongside familiar favorites
* Involve your child in meal prep
* Model healthy eating yourself!

Try offering only a tiny, bite-sized piece when introducing a new food - or if your child didn’t like it the last time. Toddlers are visual eaters, so if a food looks unfamiliar or intimidating, they’re less likely to try it. Avoid pressure or punishment—positive exposure over time is more effective than forcing a bite!

Trick-or-treating is exciting, whether your family goes door-to-door or participates in a local trunk-or-treat event. But before the first bite, take a few minutes to check your child’s candy.

Discard anything that’s unwrapped, has torn packaging, or looks unusual. For little ones, avoid hard candies, gum, or other choking hazards. If your child has a food allergy, make sure to read every label- sometimes treats can have different ingredients than expected.

Let us know your favorite candy to sneak from your kiddo's Halloween bag below!

Before your child heads out for trick-or-treating, keep these tips in mind:

1) Bright & visible: Choose costumes with reflective tape or give them a glow stick or flashlight.

2) Proper fit: Avoid long hems or oversized shoes that could cause tripping.

3) Comfortable mask: If a mask is part of the costume, make sure it doesn’t block vision or breathing.

4) Weather-ready: Dress in layers if it’s chilly outside.

What costume is your child wearing this year? Tell us below!
