More kids than you might expect are showing signs of high blood pressure, something we typically think of as an adult issue. Early detection, healthy daily habits, and regular checkups are more important than ever. Our very own Dr. Maggie Chalson spoke with CBS News about the rising rates of high blood pressure in children and why it is so important for parents to stay aware, ask questions during visits, and support healthy routines at home. If you have any questions, please reach out to your trusted Allied pediatrician.

As CBS News New York's John Dias reports, the numbers have doubled, prompting more concerns about childhood obesity.

Don’t let “winging it” be your birth plan. Your baby’s coming with or without a breastfeeding game plan. Skip the sore ni***es, latch battles, fussy gas parties, low milk freak-outs, and missing the golden hour. 👶🏼⏰

Meet with our breastfeeding pros so you're prepared, not panicked. We’ve got physicians, IBCLCs, CLCs, and even pediatricians who specialize in breastfeeding.

Visit, https://alliedphysiciansgroup.com/service/breastfeeding-support/ to meet your dream team!

08/20/2025

The first hour after birth, often called the golden hour is a critical time for initiating breastfeeding (mind blown). 🤯 During this window, your baby is typically alert and instinctively ready to latch. Early latching not only supports bonding and stimulates your milk supply but also allows your baby to receive colostrum, the nutrient-rich, antibody-packed “first milk” that helps protect against infection and supports early digestion. This first connection can set the tone for long-term breastfeeding success.

If your child is diagnosed with coxsackievirus, the good news is it typically resolves on its own within 7–10 days. In the meantime, here’s how to support recovery at home:

🧡 Popsicles are your best friend – They soothe sore throats AND keep kids hydrated.
🧡 All the naps, extra rest for recovery.
🧡 Keep food gentle! Think soft and bland: oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce, plain ice cream
🧡 Wash those hands! The virus spreads easily, especially in households with more than one little human.

Call your pediatrician if your child isn’t drinking, has a persistent high fever, or seems overly lethargic. Trust your instincts, you know your child best and we’re here to help if something feels off.
