🦃 Making Memories: A Heartfelt Thanksgiving! 🍂

As Thanksgiving approaches, our hearts at Apple a Day Pediatrics are filled with gratitude for the wonderful families we serve here in Oswego. This season is all about coming together, giving thanks, and creating those precious holiday memories that last a lifetime.

Thanksgiving isn't just about the delicious feast (though we love that too!). It's about the laughter shared, the stories told, and the special moments with loved ones.

When a newborn looks at you, the distance they see most clearly is precisely the distance from a parent's arms to their parent's face.
​The Magic Range: A newborn's optimal focal distance is only about 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm). Objects closer or further away appear very blurry.
​A Biological Design: This isn't a coincidence! This narrow range is the perfect, built-in distance for the baby to lock eyes with the person holding them during feeding, cuddling, and comforting. It is thought to be an evolutionary mechanism that promotes early bonding and attachment right from birth.
​Your baby is literally hard-wired to look into your eyes and memorize your face! Every time you hold your little one close, you are giving their vision the most important workout possible while strengthening your connection.

Why does it feel like your child always has a cold? 🤧

Here is a staggering fact: There are over 200 different viruses known to cause the common cold!

Because there are so many different viruses, children don’t immediately gain resistance to all of them. In fact, statistics show that while adults might only get seven colds a year, kindergartners can have up to 12 annually!

That is a lot of tissues!

At Apple a Day Pediatrics, we know how stressful constant sick days can be. That’s why we offer same-day sick appointments when you need them. We also have separate sick and well waiting rooms to help keep those germs from spreading.

Happy Halloween from everyone at Apple a Day Pediatrics! 🎃

We love this spooky season! As experienced pediatricians (and parents to 8 kids between us!) , we are committed to helping your kids get well and stay well, especially on a night filled with fun and treats.

You already know the safety basics (check candy, use the buddy system), but here are 3 safety tips you might not have thought of:

Fuel Up First. A hungry trick-or-treater is more likely to snack while walking (a choking hazard!) or have a major sugar crash before the night is over. Have a healthy, filling dinner before you head out to make the candy a true "treat" for later.

Focus on Footwear and Fit. We all check masks for visibility, but don't forget the rest of the costume! Long robes, capes, or pants are major tripping hazards on dark sidewalks and stairs. Make sure costumes are hemmed appropriately and that shoes are comfortable and sturdy.

"Glow Up" the Accessories. If your child insists on a dark costume (like a ninja or vampire), don't fight it! Instead, use reflective tape on their candy bucket, the backs of their shoes, and key spots on their costume. It’s an easy way to make them highly visible to cars without ruining the "look."

Have a safe and spooky night! We love getting to know you and your children and are always here to help.

As a parent, it’s understandable to want to learn about what’s in vaccines. But as you research, you might come across misleading claims about vaccine ingredients.

Antigens, for example, are a key ingredient in vaccines that help children’s immune systems learn to respond to viruses. Your children encounter antigens in many places they visit each day, including playgrounds. In fact, children can come in contact with up to 6,000 antigens each day.

If you have any additional questions about vaccines and their ingredients, talk with your pediatrician or click the link below.

Halloween is almost here. The Village recommends trick-or-treating between 3:30 - 8 p.m. on Oct. 31.
Here are a few steps parents and guardians can take to ensure their children’s safety.

- Ensure children trick-or-treat only during this time frame.
- Be safe and only visit homes with front door lights on.
Make sure masks do not block children’s front and side vision.
- If you are trick-or-treating after dark, use reflective tape on costumes and carry a flashlight.
- Young children should be accompanied by a responsible adult while out.
- Know the routes that older, unaccompanied children are planning to take and set a time for them to be home.
- Children should go out in groups rather than by themselves.
- Examine the treats you children have collected. While tampering with Halloween treats is rare, be vigilant for any unusual packaging.

At Apple a Day Pediatrics, we are committed to keeping your children healthy and safe by following the guidelines established by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

Why are these visits so important?

Preventative Care: Regular wellness exams ensure your child is meeting developmental milestones and allow us to catch any potential concerns early.

Vaccinations: We firmly believe in the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. Following the AAP-recommended immunization schedule is the best way to protect your child and our community from serious, preventable illnesses.

Your Questions: These visits are the perfect time for us to address all your concerns, from nutrition and behavior to school and sports.

We strive to make wellness visits easy and safe for everyone, offering separate sick and well waiting areas for your convenience.

Don't wait! If your child is due for a check-up, give us a call.

Did you know that newborns can't cry tears?

A newborn baby's cry is certainly loud enough to get your attention, but you won't see any actual tears rolling down their cheeks! While they are born with tear ducts, the ducts are still developing and typically only produce enough moisture to keep the eyes lubricated (basal tears).

The tears associated with emotion (psychic tears) usually don't start flowing until they are between 1 and 3 months old.

Just another amazing step in your little one's development!

🧠 A Little Fact About Your Child's Big Brain! 🧠

Did you know that a predictable and responsive caregiver can actually help shape how an infant's brain learns and develops?

Recent research has shown that the consistent and loving interactions you have with your baby today can impact how they learn completely new information six months down the road. Those everyday moments of talking, playing, and responding to their needs are teaching their brain how to learn about the world around them.

So, all those peek-a-boo games, bedtime stories, and comforting cuddles are doing more than just creating sweet memories – they are building a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning!
