It’s common for newborns to have sticky eyelids, crusting, or temporarily closed eyes due to blocked tear ducts or minor irritation.

We recommend to gently wipe away discharge with a clean, damp cloth. Signs to look out for an infection, may include persistent swelling, redness, pus, or inability to open the eye.

If you notice any of these symptoms, or if your baby seems uncomfortable - please reach out to us because early evaluation can prevent complications.

Your child’s story matters — and so does your voice. 🤍🕯️

At Your Way Pediatrics, we honor what parents feel, what they notice, and what they can’t explain. Because intuition isn’t a guess — it’s a guiding light.

We go beyond surface symptoms.
We go beyond quick fixes.
We go deep — finding the root causes that help kids heal, grow, and flourish. ✨

Heavy Metal Testing:

We often hear from parents who are curious or concerned about heavy metals testing for their children. Whether it’s due to a specific health worry or just wanting peace of mind, this is a topic worth digging into.

What Are Heavy Metals and Why Do They Matter?

Heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, aluminum, and cadmium occur naturally in the environment. However, in high amounts, they can be harmful—especially for developing brains and bodies. Certain heavy metals, like lead, have no safe level of exposure in children.

Reasons why you may ask for testing:
1. Developmental or Behavioral Concerns
2. Known or Suspected Environmental Exposures
3. Chronic, Unexplained Symptoms
4. Some families simply want a baseline test, even if their child is healthy!

Postpartum rage is a strong, sudden feeling of anger or irritability that some new parents experience after giving birth.

Hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and stress can contribute to these intense emotions. Experiencing these feelings does not mean you are a bad parent.

Some coping strategies that may help are:
- Deep breathing or grounding exercises when you feel anger rising
- Taking short breaks while ensuring your baby is safe
- Sharing your feelings with a partner, friend, or support group
- Prioritizing sleep and nutrition as much as possible

If you are struggling after childbirth, call our office as we can provide guidance, an assessment, and treatment!

Does your pr***en or teen have a curved back or unequal shoulder height?

It could be scoliosis.

Scoliosis can range from a minor curve to something that needs specialized care. Not every case needs immediate referral, but it does need monitoring.

Depending on your child’s exam findings, the provider may order a spine x-ray or just schedule a follow-up to recheck their back in the office in 4-6 months. For mild cases of scoliosis, observation is all that is needed as the child goes through rapid growth periods. For more significant cases, an orthopedic provider will be consulted to determine if bracing or surgical intervention is indicated.

Frequent tummy aches in school-age children are often caused by constipation, stress, dietary changes, or mild infections.

The location of the pain can give clues: upper stomach pain may be due to reflux or gastritis, central (near umbilicus) stomach pain can signal constipation, and around the belly button is often normal, especially in younger children.

Most of the time, these aches are not serious. However, seek medical attention if your child has severe pain, persistent vomiting, blood in the stool, or unexplained weight loss.

Keeping a diary of symptoms, meals, and school events can help identify triggers and guide treatment. Also, you can help by encouraging hydration, offering fiber-rich foods, promoting regular bathroom habits, and using relaxation techniques if stress may be a trigger.

Concerned about your child’s stomach pain? Schedule a visit so we can figure out the cause and give guidance on relief strategies.
