Choosing the right kind of pacifier is important, especially for breastfeeding babies. If you choose to use a pacifier, it's best to wait until breastfeeding is well-established to help lower the chance of breastfeeding problems.

Pacifiers are helpful to comfort or soothe your baby, decrease their risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and help some babies in need of suck or tongue training. Check out these pacifier tips & feel free to ask about our lactation consultation services or talk with your pediatrician for more help!

With back-to-school on the horizon, it's a good idea to start helping your kids transition back to their school schedules. Start early, be consistent, and give your kids at least 2 weeks before school starts so they (& you) have enough time to adjust. Here are some tips:

🌞 Adjust wake-up times in the morning by 10-15 minutes earlier every few days. This helps kids' bodies adjust gradually & more naturally.

🌙 Shift bedtime earlier by 10-15 minutes every few nights as well. Combined with waking up earlier, they should be tired sooner.

📖 Re-establish bedtime routines. Bath time, book time, or quiet time before bed helps create a relaxing and predictable routine to signal to your child's body that it's time to sleep.

📱 Limit screen time. Turn off TV, phones, tablets at least 1 hour before bedtime. Blue light emitted from devices can interfere with sleep.

🛏️ Optimize their sleep environment. Dark, quiet, and cool bedrooms lead to more restful sleep.

Let's Talk Going to College With ADHD! Do you have a teen with ADHD who is starting or returning to college this fall? College is a time for kids to try out independence, and you can help set them up for success by sharing these 7 tips!

Remember, if your teen is taking medications, part of being independent means being responsible for managing their own meds. This includes talking to you or a doctor if their current medication isn't fitting their needs as well as understanding the dangers of sharing or mixing medications.

Hi, it's Cassi, registered nurse & Child Passenger Safety Technician, with another car seat tip! Rear-facing car seats are the safest position not just for infants, but for toddlers too. Even though it may be tempting to switch at age 2, it is recommended to keep your child rear-facing until well AFTER age 2 and over 30 pounds. Here's why:

✅ In a crash, a rear-facing car seat absorbs the impact forces, protecting your child’s developing head, neck, and spine by cradling their entire body.

🚫 When forward-facing, the crash forces are directed into the harness and your child’s body, which increases the risk of serious injury, especially to the neck and spine.

⚠️ Keep your child rear-facing beyond age 2 until they reach the height OR weight limit set by the car seat manufacturer. Most car seats allow rear-facing well beyond 2 years!

Worried about leg injuries?🦵 It’s a common concern, but leg injuries in rear-facing seats are extremely rare. Children are flexible and can comfortably cross or prop their legs. More importantly, it’s much safer than risking head or spinal injuries in a crash.

Bottom line: Rear-facing = best protection. Keeping your child rear-facing as long as their seat allows could save their life!

Summer should be full of splashes, not earaches! If your child complains of ear pain after swimming, it might be swimmer’s ear—an infection in the outer ear canal caused by water getting trapped and bacteria growing inside.

Symptoms may include:
👂 Itching or redness
😖 Pain when touching the ear
💧 Drainage from the ear
👂 Muffled hearing

If your child has symptoms of swimmer's ear, call our office to schedule an appointment! Swimmer's ear is treatable with prescription ear drops. For prevention tips & more about swimmer's ear, read our full blog by Morgan Leaventon, FNP-C, at our Summit location. Link in bio.
