RSV can cause serious illness in infants, especially those under 6 months. This season, families have extra protection available with the RSV immunization.

Babies can receive the RSV monoclonal antibody (nirsevimab), which helps reduce the risk of severe disease. Pregnant mothers may also receive a maternal RSV vaccine, which protects the baby after birth.

These RSV antibodies work much like the natural antibodies a mother passes to her baby during pregnancy offering protection before your baby’s own immune system is mature enough to fight infections on its own.

If you have questions about eligibility or scheduling RSV protection for your newborn or for you if you are expecting, call our office and we’ll walk you through the guidelines.

If it feels like your toddler catches everything, you’re not imagining it.

Little immune systems are still learning, and toddlers are great at sharing germs especially in daycare or group settings. It’s normal for young children to have 8–12 viral illnesses a year, especially during fall and winter.

Colds can also seem “back-to-back” because viruses stack or symptoms overlap.

The good news? Each illness strengthens their immune system, and most are short-lived and resolve with rest, fluids, and time.

If your child’s illnesses seem unusually severe, frequent, or they’re not bouncing back as expected, call our office so we can help determine what’s normal and what deserves a closer look.

Is your baby bundled too much? Or not enough?

During winter, infants should typically sleep in one more layer than an adult would wear to be comfortable in the same room. A breathable onesie plus a sleep sack is usually perfect.

Avoid hats, blankets, and loose bedding in the crib to prevent overheating and reduce SIDS risk. If your baby’s chest feels warm and dry, they’re dressed appropriately. Remember, cold hands and feet are normal.

Not sure if your baby is dressed appropriately for sleep? Give us a call, we’re here to help you keep them safe and cozy.

Winter blues?

Shorter winter days can affect kids’ (and adults’) mood and energy levels, and a little grumpiness or lower motivation this time of year is normal. But parents should watch for red flags like withdrawal, sudden school struggles, big changes in sleep or appetite, or any mention of hopelessness.

If something feels “off,” trust your instincts.

Reach out to us because we’re here to help support your child’s emotional health.

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 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.

If your teen’s thumb scrolls faster than your morning coffee pours, it might be time for a social media reset.

While smartphones and social apps are part of modern life, too much time online can interfere with sleep, schoolwork, friendships, and mental health. Experts recommend creating clear limits for screen time, such as turning off devices during homework, setting “no phone” windows before bed, and designating phone-free zones like the dinner table or bedroom.

For younger children, the AAP suggests limiting non-school screen use, but for teens, it’s about establishing balanced digital habits and ensuring screens don’t replace sleep, activity, and face-to-face time.

Not sure if your teens' social media or screen habits are appropriate? Call our office today to schedule an appointment to speak to one of our providers.

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.

Non-dairy options count too such as fortified plant milks, yogurt alternatives, leafy greens, cheese, and tofu.

Not sure if your child is getting the right amount of calcium or milk? Ask us at your next visit!

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.

If your child struggles with sleep, attention, or routines during transitions, give us a call because our team can help you troubleshoot and create a plan that fits your family.

Flu season is here.

Kids often show symptoms like fever, body aches, cough, sore throat, and sometimes vomiting or diarrhea. Most cases can be managed at home with rest and fluids, but call our office if your child is working hard to breathe, isn’t drinking well, or isn’t improving after a few days.

Fun fact: kids are actually more likely than adults to spread the flu because they shed the virus longer.

Flu vaccines are still available and still one of the simplest ways to protect your family. Call today if your child still needs theirs.

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.

How to check your water heater setting:
• Look at your water heater’s temperature dial — many have a clear temperature marking or a “hot / warm” range.
• To double-check, run hot water from a faucet for one minute and use a kitchen thermometer to test the water temperature.

How to adjust it:
• Turn the temperature dial down to 120°F (or the “warm” setting if temperatures aren’t labeled).
• Give the heater a few hours to reset, then recheck the tap temperature.
• If your heater is older or unmarked, or you’re unsure how to adjust it safely, contact your maintenance team, landlord, or a licensed professional.

A quick check can make bath time much safer for little ones.
